Question 2 - What would be the difference between installing a full catback system and just removing the stock resonator and fabricating an X Pipe, then installing an axle back system ? ... and again, is this worth pursuing ?

Thanks guys
hmmmm... my car DEFINITELY had an H pipe! I didn't think to take picture of it and it's basically impossible to see unless it's on the hoist but it was an H... Next time I have it in the shop I'll snap a picture....

I would love to see these system independently dyno tested... we cut out the stock mufflers and replaced them with resonators... we seen a bit of a gain in the mid-range but basically nothing at peak...

Ok... I think perhaps were not talking about the stock setup.... oops... sorry!
