GS-T catback or just muffler mod?

[Wufei]

Did some searching, but I'm still confused...is it better to get a full GS-T catback or do us 2GNT's only need the muffler? Also, the downpipes & mid section for GS-T is 2.25" correct? Finally, the GS-T will keep the low-end torque while increasing top-end right (anyone have an idea how much compared to say a Magnaflow muffler)?

You wanna get a cat-back exhaust but not from a gs-t there heavier than others so get on from some namebrand or something and if your not worried about about performance then just get a muffler

i think a 2g gst cat back is a great mod.

I'm trying to get the most bang for the buck on my 2GNT, but I'd be willing to pay (some) more if it gives more gains

Denji, any idea how much gains hp-wise from it?

You won't get as much as you think but a noticable amount with the gs-t cat back but for more money you can get a 2.5 cat back that wieghs less and once you start getting up there in speed then weight will become a factor.

But if you have strict exhaust laws then you are better off iwth the gs-t. completely legal.

This car will be a daily driver, so sound/loudness would be an issue. I was thinking of going with either the GS-T catback (is it 2.25"?) or the Magnaflow (eh...which is also 2.25"?)...which do you guys suggest? Otherwise, which catback system would you recommend and how much $ would it take?

Thanks!

If sound is gonna be an issue,definatly go with the gs-t muffler.It's basicly the best bang 4 buck.I heard the cars ounds real nice with that mod.Magnaflow street series sounds a little raspy at times.Great mufflers but the race series is the way to go(if you don't mind the noise).just my .02
