Cat back or axle back? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I can't decide which way to go. I like the sound of the Borla sport, but need to know if there will be a performance advantage with a full cat back vs. the axle back and if the sound of the axle back will equal the cat back. The GMPP is not really an option due to the premium price compared to the Borla axle back.

What do you think?

Screw emissions, go header-back! Put test pipes on it!

Seriously, if the axle-back includes an X-pipe, that's going to be your performance difference right there. The mufflers themselves aren't going to give you any power.

axle-backs are typically overpriced for what is essentially a muffler delete option.
