Take the money for the catback spend it on a CAI along with a tune. More power and still have a few $$$ in your pocket.

The catback is not nearly as effective as CAI and a tune.

I've never dyno tested the car with just the addition of a catback exhaust but I was told you might get a 3-4 hp gain with certain catback exhausts. Nothing you could feel on its' own but hey, every hp/tq counts.
