As it turns out it's very difficult to choose the catback system. I've narrowed my choices down to CS, Magnaflow, and, perhaps, CP-E. CP-E I'm not sure about since it's the most expensive (by over $200) than the rest, and the sound, at least from the clips I was able to find, is not deep enough.
I want a deep and aggressive sound when I step on it, but at the same time I don't want it to be louder than stock at crusing speeds and no drone.
I was thinking about Borla, but since it has 2.75" tubing, I left it alone. CS and Magnaflow sound good to me and they are priced very reasonably. With Magnaflow though I don't know what grade of SS they are using. I've read somewhere that it's T409 SS instead of T304 that CS uses. I also would like to find out the diameter of CS tip, and whether their claimed gains are for catback alone or for the entire turboback system.
Anyway, to make a long story short, I want to see what people would vote for.
P.S. I know that performance gains with catback alone are minimal on our cars. I plan on CP-E catted downpipe in the near future.
