Default Down pipe or Exhaust ?
Dollar for dollar which mod would be better to do first? Funds are limited so do I go for the down pipes or catback exhaust, please help me decide.

Down pipe FTW. Plenty of guys making good power with down pipe and stock exhaust. We carry MAK and MBRP, both a great y-pipes.

Performance? Downpipe.

Sound? Catback.

Pick your poison. :-)

If I could do it over. I'd gone SOLO catted downpipe since they incorporate a 3" resonator into their y pipe. Get rid of stock resonator and be content with that.

Just my 2¢…

Thanks for the replies, I think I am going for the downpipes, I really don't want to gain too much sound, but do want some performance gains to go along with the tune I have.

Here's my cat back borla with custom 4" dual pipes and tips. Not to load at all and nice growl.
