New Exhaust ?

Thinking of buying a new exhaust for my balt turbo , but is it worth spending ? I currently have zzp DP , stock 2.5 piping to a borla xr1 muffler . Is it much of a difference having 3' piping ? Will that squeeze more hp out than our stock piping ? And if so should I rather just get 3' straight pipe all the way back or just pay extra for a quality catback ?

catback for the LNF is relatively cheap compared to most platforms. I just bought a Turbo XS FL catback. As for extra power you will not get very much (5-10hp..maybe) i believe its more for sound. They also offer a RFL which is basically a straight pipe, and they just got their shipment in and are ready to get sent out.

It isnt 100% ready because I am on pre order and still waiting for confirmation haha but its good!! Probably tomorrow! Their sea container is probably huge as all hell so they have probably been doing inventory.. I'm a waiting . But yes go turbo xs FTW when it comes to cat back.

You'd be lucky to gain 5whp. Do a muffler delete.

If I was buying an exhaust it would be the RFL for sure.

I don't know yet, I'm waiting for it to come in. but i still won't get to hear it until April because the snow is not leaving!!!

As for Cobe- I already got my confirmation and they posted on instagram that had the container empty, and one yesterday showing the packages getting loaded on the UPS truck.
