Default Axle-Back And Cat-Back

Does a axle-back give any gains in hp or does a cat-back? Im deciding between a 5zigen axle-back or Apexi N1 Cat-Back. Info please!!! Thanx

You're not going to see any real gains with either one by themselves. If you don't have any work done to your motor, you're exhaust isn't restrictive yet.

An Axle-Back won't give you gains if any at all, it will only give you a deeper sound. A full cat-back is your best bet, but if you decide on going with an N1, you should know how loud that exhaust can be, so if you think you wont be irritated by it then by no means go purchase it

save those hundreds of bucks and invest in camshafts, you'll gain way more...catback doesnt give dramatic changes, only deeper tone and cosmetics.

if ur gonna invest money in an exhaust .. then go and get a full catback system...

it will do u good to go with a mandrel bent bpipe as opposed to the crush bent n much smaller stock pipe.
