Best Turbo-Back Exhaust

What do you all think is the best turbo-back system?

Right now I'm considering the Vishnu Dual Tip, Vishnu Signature Series, and the Cobb Turbo-Back. All with high flow cats. (gotta be kinda good .... %@#$!!!!)

Thanks all

I would think you would be happy with any of the TBE's you listed. If you plan on going with some massive power in the future you may want to go with the Vishnu signature series DP or some other divorced wastegate DP.

Doubt you'll be gaining much whp with an uppipe, it's more of a safety upgrade than anything.
