Catback is good if you doing a lot more work down the road. Axleback is good if your doing a few bolt ons.

yeah but i remember rock saying awhile back that the mid pipe on the catback is the same as the stock pipe, so i think its a waste of money. rrm used an axelback with their shop car if that tells you anything.

Its bolt on, i have it. I love the sounds of it way more compared to the CB, though i do have custom piping from the catback to the axelback. (which didnt really change much at all, just another expense)

When I installed it no hanger work was required, and the exhaust sits perfectly center. I have had it 2 years now and there is no exhaust burn on the bumper. The only thing that irritated me was that the nuts required to do the install were not supplied, but my stock ones were welded to my old muffler and this may no be the case for everyone.

My 2006 model needed to adjustment to the hangers. I saw it happen. Nothing major though, no chopping or anything, just some tweaking.

My axle back needed a stiffer hanger added because the stock ones allowed it to swing too much and hit my bumper.
