Which is the best performance CATBACK exhaust?

Hey, I'll be upgrading my exhaust pretty soon and I'm looking for a system that will give me the most performance and have a good meaty sound- any Ideas?

Thanks

Doesn't erally matter...as long as it's a 3 inch. You don't get power from the cat back, it's all in the downpipe/test pipe.

That aside, I have a Greddy Ti.

None, you need a full 3" Turbo back exhaust to see real gains.

I would just swap back in the stock cat for emissions testing.

I've heard of TBEs passing smog catless. If your really paranoid though you can always get a high flow cat.

Oh, and i would suggest the HKS Hi Power cat back.

Bullsh*t not in california the only way that is even remotely possible is if you were to lean the f*ck out of the tune, in which case it would not be safe. on top of that you would never pass visual.

http://www.tprmag.com/issue/5/5_turbo_exhausts.shtml

We offer the lightest and highest horsepower producing exhaust available for the Evo. Our catbacks are $450, made of mandrel bent 304 Stainless steel and you have your choice of the bullet muffler (lightest of the 2 choices, best flowing, has a bit more tone and its true stainless) or our magnaflow muffler (4.5lbs heavier than the Bullet, doesnt flow as good, not as high grade stainless as the bullet but is quieter).

Our TRUE 3" mandrel bent 304 Stainless steel TURBOBACK exhaust is $825 Shipped in the continental US. You have your choice of muffler as well as a highflow cat or off-road pipe.

The lightest is the Greddy Ti cat back. But it is also the loudest (probably) and the most expensive (probably).
