I would go with the ION performance with a high flow cat
Are they selling that alone now?? It's hard to tell with no website at all. Any idea of the price? Is it competitive with Apex's?
 
Apex all the way

$299 without a cat includes CEL eliminator
$399 with highflow cat

Catless are in stock right now

What is better to go with. A downpipe? Or a catback setup? I looking in regards to hp. Also with a new downpipe will the car be louder or do I need to go with a catback to get the sound?

It's already up. I love my apex d/p but after reading a few stories about them breaking (I think there's only 1 or 2 cases) I decided to the kartboy exhaust hanger bushing just as a precaution.

Well now,that makes sense doesnt it?
Lets make the installation of the D/P even stiffer and put MORE stress on the welds and joints.I swear some of you guys dont have a clue?

Wow buddy... it amazes me how someone with such deft wit managed to even turn your computer on. Let's think about this using our brain... that thing that, in your case is obviously used for little more than keeping your ears 8 inches apart. If you were in a car wreck, would you rather be A: strapped in to your seat via a seat belt even though it's going to put stress on your waist and shoulders, or B: without a seat belt so you can go bouncing all over the car, but keeping stress off your shoulders?
The bushings keep the pipe from bouncing around and hitting things under your car, much like a seat belt in the preceeding analogy. They also, get this... deflect stress away from the mild steel welds on the mid pipe and more evenly distribute over the entire exhaust system due to less movement in one particular area because of the stiffer hangers.
