catbacks usually = 0HP and 0TQ... so no for me.

If you want sound and HP get headers and HF cats... and use the stock mufflers. You will add about 30-35 HP, your car will sound awesome, and you will have spent about the same $$ as you would have on a catback.

If you are worried about the look of the cans... paint them with $5 header spray paint that you get at the auto parts store.

If you are worried about weight, get the cheap magnaflows (11226) that they stock at the exhaust shop.

If you want more sound... you can always get cutouts later.
