Should be fixed now. I like the stock Ti setup myself. It is relatively mild at idle and under part throttle. As soon as you go wide open throttle it gets pretty loud but not obnoxious. It has a unique almost exotic sound to it I guess.

I was thinking of trying the Corsa Xtreme catback but I couldn't justify the price and added weight for no HP increase.

Thank you that was very helpful to hear your set up. It does sound nice at wot. I think I'll go for a full system and keep my stock ti perfectly intact incase I get tired of the loudness. Id like just a bit more growl at idle.

Have any of you guys gone w the American racing headers and x-pipe. I was about to order the LG's (which if I understand are made by borla) the American racing system look to have better craftsmanship and are more expensive.

If love your guys thoughts.

Also all the header systems for us are 3". And most all the cat backs are 2.5" why are they like that. Why not have a 3" cat back as well? I can only think for back pressure. But that's a turbo thing. In mind we want as much flow as possible. Right?

Any input is always much appreciated. U guys are awesome!
