Whats better to get tuned for and will go better with basic bolt-ons.

 

I vote stock exhaust with catless down pipe!

 

catless downpipe, stock exhaust with muffler delete is all you need. it will sound sick too...gl

 

What everyone else has said. Catless Dp, Muffler delete , and the rest stock= amazing.

 

Just got my muffler deleted and I love it man!

 

Neither will make any real performance difference.

 

Thx for all input!

dam i was afraid of that, so from a tuner/tuning perspective neither would make it easier on the car or yield better results.

 

right, just go with whatever you feel sounds best. Both are a flow through design, the downpipe is the real restriction. You don't need a better flowing catback until you start going beyond the stock turbo. Either way, you would want a larger diameter pipe. The stock muffler and resonator aren't restrictive at all, actually a pretty good exhaust system stock.

 

so once i put in the 3" zzp catless d/p i should just do a muffler delete...instead of a full 3" exhaust from the downpipe back?

 

Yup

 

Honestly depends on what your set up and goals are, i'm running a full 3" exhaust with CTI header and a 2nd muffler (hushpower) acting as a resonator. Cat went bad so i had them just run a piece of pipe, car is louder then i would like but when i get my cat it will tone it back down. Gotta hear the TVS whinee

Bingo, its his car he is the one who has to hear it start up every day lol
