Cat-Back or Axle-Back

So I guess my question is pretty simple. Should I lean more towards a catback or axleback? Is the power gains all the much different between a muffler delete verus a catback? If it's not that significantly different, then I'm thinking I should just get an axleback. I also plan on doing future mods, not sure if that makes a difference or not.

Just depends on how loud you want it. I personally went with a full catback cause i got a great deal on it. If i had to do it again i would have just done and axleback to keep the drone down. I also have longtubes with cats

Are you otherwise stock in terms of performance mods? If so, you won't pick up any noticeable HP going with a full catback. If you are looking for power with exhaust mods, you should first consider long tube headers (catless or HFs). If you are looking for more sound as well, then take a look at the mufflers. Larger midpipes and resonator deletes won't help much with power until you start doing some big performance mods that need to move the extra air.
