Best Turbo Back for Cobb Stage 2?

I will eventually get a Turboback to upgrade to the Cobb Stage2 remap. What are you guys running with the stage2? I am looking for something on the quiet / sleeper side that will pass emissions. I like the current twin tip style of the stock exhaust... like the Vishnu dual tip turboback.

Give me some suggestions please!

Thanks!
Rock

once you get a turbo back you won't be able to pass emissions

well, you can mix and match
like a turbo xs stealth back with prodrive catback, or borla hush

or get a helix down pipe and get borla hush or something else that is quiet


just dont' get HKS down pipe

Won't pass emissions and more importantly, it's a bad design. It doesn't make as much power as pretty much any other downpipe.

I've got a turboxs stealthback w/ high flow cat, and prodrive axleback. Will that pass emissions? I'm asking because i'm actually about to go and test it to register my car here in Washington, where they check that $#!+. I figured it would since it uses a Catco catalytic converter which is said to meet those standards.

It will most likely pass the sniffer test, but I don't know about the visual inspection. I know anything not stock in CA must carry a CARB E.O. number, and if WA uses CA standards, you may have to put the stock piece back on.

you could try a stromung exhaust...

you could get a catless downpipe, high flow cat, cat-back exhaust (dual tip)...

I just put a stromung exhaust on my PDE downpipe and the exhaust is very quiet compared to my blitz exhaust... also at idle it sounds very much like stock!

It also performs well

- Sorry I live in an area where there are no emission testing :banana: so I'm totally cat-less
