Is anyone running the tsp 1 7/8 long tube, cat delete, and a stock exhaust? Or is a catback a must?

I wouldn't call it a must, but you're somewhat defeating the free flow gains you made up in front.
Also, have you checked out MGW's shifter?
Wait a minute, your sig says muffler delete. You plan on installing headers w/ cat delete and then re-installing the stock mufflers I presume? If you're going to have the whole exhaust down I don't think I'd hang those suitcases back on the car. You are a good candidate for a cat back system.

And don't you dare say "which is the best cat back system". lol

I know what catback I want but damn it's too expensive for my taste I love the sound of the Borla Atak

Stock catback ftw

Why not ATAK axle back?

Call me cheap but those are close to $700! Insane for pipes and cans

You can get a used set on here in the marketplace for like 400$ that's what I did. And I have the 2" tsp headers, with the Borla atak axle back, and the airaid CAI.

Well Im fixing to have tsp headers and a fsp tune on the way tomorrow...a Barton shifter is on the way already...we'll see about an exhaust of some kind in the future

A member on here shibbs has a similar setup might have stainless headers though. I heard his car at a cars and coffee even and it sounds great!

I have recently installed TSP headers + catted midpipe. The headers had no fitment issues, so I was happy, but the X-pipe does have fitment issues; it just does not follow the tunnel. I am painfully getting the X-pipe part custom-made at a local muffler shop to ensure perfect fitment. The subtle differences from brand to brand make it very hard to have a perfect fitment with a blend of parts anyway.

FYI, I have TSP LT, cat, and stock muffler; sounds great, actually even louder than I'd like.

I have the billet plus 2 hurst short throw shifter! But I would definately look for a used borla ATAK exhaust!

The stock cat back exhaust flows as well as anything and it sounds very good with no or high flow cats.

Eventually though you may get the dread muffler rattle at which time I would get the Solo Mach XL.
