i kn0w of axel-backs and cat backs or just n0 cat...i used to have the greddy evo exhaust on my 2001 lude and it sounded nice, but then i cracked it hitting a sewer in the road, i went to a machine shop and they made me just a str-8 pipe from the headers back with no catalytic...it sounds a bit more ricey, but it rides a little quicker with the str-8 pipe...so just buy a nice can and just get custom mandrel bent piping. no catalytic
