neither i would just replace the axel back that goes to 2 1/4 with some exhaust piping from advance to make it 2.5 like the rest of the exhaust and ull have the same gains and save 400 dollars.

There is better for cheaper...

For sound, they are both loud as crap. Megan is a bit raspier...

vibrant if you only had those two as a choice... but like i said, you can get better sounding for cheaper.

Best choice and cheapest choice Linky you can even get it in stainless for like $300. That will sound 100000 times better than both the ones you are talking about put together

Better overall system, About the same price and will sound a million times better since it uses either a magnaflow or borla muffler (your choice).

magnaflow stainless steel catback.

sounds better than anything I have heard and I took a year to decide. (also do a cat delete, do not just hollow it out.)

I just showed him the aluminzed one cause he wanted to get by as cheap as he could.
Stainless is always better though

I agree with Short Stack... haha we have the same cat-back.

I put a 24" resonator on mine and still spent about 250$ for the whole thing, welded and all. Sounds great for a four cylinder, not too loud but not to quiet.
