Catback or UTEC

I have a turbo manifold, 3' Downpipe and test pipe. What is the best next step, I'm getting a good deal on a UTEC or should I get a 3' catback? Which will yield better results?

+1.......... but i would go with the UTEC because once you know how to tune you can take full advantage off all of your mods......... i want cams so bad but i'm going to get ECUplus first so i can tune the cams after i install them

You'll make more power with the UTEC and stock exhaust than you will with the exhaust and no tuning. You can always get an exhaust. I'd get the UTEC if it's a deal and you know how to tune it. Just throw a cutout on your stock catback and you're good to go.

+1 ...I went so far as to install all the logging and monitoring gear I would need before I changed anything. The initial cost is a pain 'cause it makes no performance gains, but it sure is worth it after that when you start to change things....

You make more power and less sound then getting a cat back.
