MS Cat Back

[tomw]

I plan on installing a CAI of some sort... probally a MS CAI and a different cat back on my 08 MS3. Does the MS cat back offer much of an improvement than what came with the car or should I just forget the cat back and go with a new down tube? Any suggestions would be great! Thanks

catback does not offer as much as a downpipe upgrade, def get a cai but i honestly think JUST a catback is a waste of money

+1

unless you just want to sound like you're blowing firecrackers up in a soup can, don't bother with doing just a CBE...(canada)

they're only useful for power when combined with a downpipe!

yea plus its what? 500-700 for a catback... u can gut ur second cat urself and get 10hp for free.
catback is 20-30 or something right?

you mean 20-30hp gain? i was pretty sure that it was essentially negligible gains...(dunno)
