full bolt ons no catback?
how important would a catback be, I'm gonna have all bolt ons 23psi besides catback and wondering if all this air will be missing out on a lot of power? or just go for the muffler delete

You'll be fine Donkeyballs was at 450 WHP on the stock catback and Wert is on the stock catback at 400 WHP. Just need the down pipe.

Agreed. You could always get an electronic or non electronic cutout if u want some crazy sound. Power to cost ratio I think isn't very good. $600ish for about 2hp.

More of a noise maker, not a smart choice in the power to money department.

Ya I'm on stock cat back. Going to a TurboXS gt once I get my car back out though. My stock cat back actually has a couple holes in it from sparks and running catless.

I just went with a muffler delete. I'll eventually probably get a cat back though. It's just a sound mod, won't see any gains from it.

Would you get more hp out of the exhaust if you had a bigger turbo ? What would the gains be with a ZFR? I'd imagine more than 2-3? Or does it stay the same..

With a bigger turbo you gain up to a possible 10 because of the bigger flow. But on stock it isn't seriously worth it.

The only reason for a catback is sound, the stock exhaust system after the cat is fairly unrestricted compared to the turbo
