Headers & Exhaust

I've recently purchased a set of Kamikaze headers & downpipe, now I'm debaiting weather or not spend the cash for a full catback or just go with an axel back, will it be worth it going with a 2 1/4" full catbcack over the 2" stock centerpipe to a 2 1/4" axel back ?

or if anyone has any other ideas ?

Thanks

I was thinking about the same thing. Do you really need a bigger exhaust for N/A setup??
I really don't want my exhaust to be loud and I know a catback gives about 5hp maybe more or less.

I have the Magnaflow catback and love it. For the cost of an axle back, you can throw another 50 bux at it and get a full catback. Its worth it.

At the current momment I have 2 good deals on the go.. thats why it's tuff to decid which way to go, thats why I'm woundering if it's worth it to go full catback. The axel back is used so it's decently cheap to buy.. but the full catback is new... so the difference between then in price is pretty high.

eh for a n/a setup, catback is useless, u gain no more than like 2whp, ur just paying for the sound and the look of it, but the header/dp will help, maybe save the money from exaust to get a intake, intake is cheaper and better gains

I'm getting a CAI regardless of the exhaust system. But thanks for the input It's just I have mixed opinions which way to go. Some say go full catback, some say it's useless if I get a full catback if I have the headers/down pipe.

Get the cat-back. It helps the car breathe better and it completes the system. Better air flow. So go for the cat-back.
