That's it, it's just an axle back for our application.

That depends on the application. For some cars, it comes as a cat back, but for us it's only an axle back.

Well technically there's a cat in the mid-pipe... so it is correct. And this is part of the problem with tC exhausts. There are some discrepancies like this one on what is actually included.

Ya... but go to the site:

"Actual products may look different than from the images shown."

Which really should apply to ANYTHING ordered on the internet... unless stated otherwise.

That pipe for our car would be referred to as the mid-pipe. I don't think GReddy has one available... but there are a couple others out there.

The only high end exhausts that come with mid pipe are Agency Power and Apexi, and ARK as far as I know.

Also there is Tsudo I am pretty ssure has full midpipe and the SRS has full mid pipe.

Then there is the Megan midpipe to use if you already have the axle back.

Since you got the GReddy you may want to invest in some sort of sound deadening for the trunk floor........the droning gets annoying in about 6 months.I swear my GReddy was louder with no header than the HKS I have now is with the header.......GReddy gets even louder with header too just so you know and needs big resonators to clean it back up sound wise.
