Axleback to catback differences
All i konw is that my 0-60 time is sitll prob like 9.5 from a stock 10 which kind of sucks lol. Whether you have axle back or catback either one will work, juts tihnk long term of what your plans are for the car and then go from there.

Sigh... just wish I could get the piggyback. Maybe I'll knock over a 7-11 on the way home... 
And then every week to pay for the premium gas... JK. Piggyback will probably be towards the end, to be honest. It's a larger commitment than a bolt-on part is.
On a serious note, what would be a good next mod (from RRM, of course) - header, intake manifold or throttle body? Or should I go with Rob's upgrade path and get a high flow cat/test pipe next?
And for that matter, now that they've started selling the intake manifold, where does that fall on the upgrade path that Rob did?

I would ask what your feeling like right now. IF your feeling you wnat more top end go with the header, and if you feel like your low - end sucks and you want to increase that then go with a TB or intake Mani.

Cool. Once I get the axleback (week or two - the joy of used parts...), I'll slap it on and see how things are.

I agree, if you want low end go for the intake mani and throttle body. They're best used to compliment each other. If you want high end, the header and/or cat would be the way to go.
And yeah, the recent gas price hike pissed me off a little since I'm paying for 91 octane, but my recent dyno results and autocross places make me feel better about it

Yeah, I see myself treading down the path of low-end torque. It is just a grocery-getter, after all. Perhaps if I was autocrossing or drag racing, I'd pop in $ for the top-end power, but it would just be a luxury that would rarely be used. Heck, I love my CAI, but it kinda depresses me because I so rarely get into the powerband. *sigh* (OK, I just realized no one cares, but I'm gonna post it anyways for my own sake...)
