Exhaust Inquiry
I wanna get an exhuast for the better performance, but have been putting it off to avoid the sound. I would like to know which is better between the Stromung catback, the Borla Hush, and the Prodrive exhaust. In terms of performance and sound (ie...sleeper.) Also if any or all will fit an aftermarket downpipe. Thanks

The CEL fix wire came with my Helix downpipe/uppipe combo, you simply cut the wires of the O2 sensor that plugs into your downpipe rewire the CEL fix into it (directions come with it) and thats it. NO CEL. You do have to unhook the negative on your battery so ECU will reset

Borla Hush uses the factory donut gasket so you'll need to have a flat flange welded-on to work with most aftermarket downpipes.
I think the Stromung is abit louder than the Borla but I went with the Borla since I have a wagon and didn't want the nasty drone that can happen in the backend.
Don't waste your time with the Prodrive AxleBack...wouldn't you rather replace the entire thing with stainless steel rather than just the can? Not much performance gains from an axle back either...

I'm not sure about the Perrin DP and whether it replaces the mid pipe section. Ask MPJ Performance.
