The cat back gives you about 4-6HP gain and the axle back will give you about 1-2hp gain.

Actually there is a high flow cat that can replace the secondary cat on the tC, however the cat is really expensive and would cause the price to be rediculous. The aftermarket high flow cat that is smog legal, is about $250.00 I have them listed on www.precisionmuffler.com So with that cat the catback would be WAY off the pricing chart. :sad:

well i got my muffler fixed ... i yet havent taken any pic due to the fact that only camer i have is a camera phone. When i confronted my installer about the muffler that shouldnt be moving he sort of laughed like he did what he did right. So i printed to pics and showed him the clamp that was installed. What he had did was put it the opssoite way. He put the clamp underneath the bolt not on top of it. so it wasnt connected correctly. But the whole way he was talking ____ about how poor quality the whole system was. That he could have done a better job for a cheaper price. That the pipes were poor quality and the bends were pointless. I just satthere and laughed at him. He's like this crap is garbage. It cost them like 70 bills to make it and they charged you what ?? 400 bucks .. i laighed and told him yea. Hes like wow .. they got you. He added a whole new clamp because he said that precision made one hole to short. So he installed his and everything i might say went fairly well. I love the muffler , and gace that dude a 10 dollar tip . they didnt charge me anyways so i said the hell with it. ill soon post up pics

I am glad that everything was put back to where it was supposed to go. Sorry to hear that the installer was talking loudly over the mess up but some installers are like that. Hope to see the pics soon.

Actually, I like the Borla axleback on my Xr. It can be a bit loud at times under acceleration, but it still looks good for being on the car the past few years.
