I'm leaning towards the DP and Hard Pipes....have it look good and still retain a bit of a stock look and sound.....but thats just me

Coming from the guy who did dual 3 inch dumps on his Mustang...haha

im probly going with the hi flow cat just because its going to be a daily driver and if the mechanics see no cat when they do your inspection they can fail you in NY.

Go with the dp and hot pipe...the thing about the cold side is that there isn't much you can do over the stock pipe to improve what is already there....the hot side is where the increase in performance lies....

The dp made the biggest difference in my case....

Yeah true...i know the dp is a big help, but i think i'm going to just go turboback and hold off for a little bit on the hardpipes. Hopefully i see some gains with those mods. But you know what...anybody have sound or video clips of just a dp w/ stock catback?

nevermind about the clips i found some...the stock exhaust sounds pretty nice with a catless dp. damnit!! this decision sucks. personally i just don't see getting that much gains from hardpipes as opposed to turboback. Feedback would be nice.
