Default Question about axleback exhaust

I'm planning on upgrading my stock exhaust to a Tsudo N1 exhaust for my '05 tC. I don't want to go full catback just yet as I don't have the funds, took a bit of convincing to get my dad to let me pay $150 for this exhaust.

Anyway, if I decide to go catback down the road can I just buy the parts needed for a catback and upgrade? Or would I have to buy a whole catback exhaust again.

Thanks!

Oh, and also is the installation easy enough that I could do it in my garage on a Saturday afternoon or should I take it to a shop.

u got a An Auto or Manual?

I have an Auto...I have the axle-back...Awesome sound quality...BUT ____ty construction..the Muffler Hamger broke Off...had to get it Re-Welded back on...other than that I love how it sounds!...I dont know bout Power Gains though...

Watch out how the tip sits too...It burnt my Bumper and had to put Spacers in the Rubber Hanger.

Axle-backs take like 20mins to install w/ Floor Jacks & a Socket Wrench set.

you can just buy the midpipe by itself later if you want. thats the only difference between the catback and the axleback

I would say save your money till later and get the whole thing. It's cheaper that way. And go to an auto parts store and buy a longer hanger and you should be good to go.

But while im here you can get it later. Id say forget it though cause all u need is an axleback cause you not gonna see any gains from a tc unless your boosted!
