Default ??Exhaust?? please give me your 2 cents.

Need some professional feed back. I was planning on keeping my stock exhaust system and running a catless DP w/AP. Will it make much of a diff.(in overall speed or give me problems with boost or anything else) compared to if I were to upgrade to a aftermarket cat back system. The reason for this was because I have a newborn and want to keep the car noise to a minimum.

Any recommendations on quiet catback exhaust systems? I’ve heard that the GReddy SP2 is not too loud. Any help is greatly appreciated.

If you search around, there are many threads with people in predicaments very similar to yours. There are charts showing how loud cat backs are and also the pros and cons of aftermarket downpipes.

Keep the stock cat back, it'll be fine. If you want to go quiet aftermarket, check the exhaust loudness thread.

Thanks for the info, i'll check out the "exhaust loudness thread". I've been listening to some exhuast on youtube, but wasnt for sure about the loudness.

Most likely i would be damaging the the stock exhuast wid the catless dp?
