Which Invidia?

Cruise on youtube and find one you like. Or maybe you can listen to peoples setups. Just hit up a meet and ask.

you are in petaluma. go to LIC Motorsports in Novato. They will recommend you getting the Stromung which is what I have. You will be very happy with it. Ask for Noah and tell him MyNikonLens sent you.

Catbacks are not really worth it imo. They are expensive and you dont really get a whole lot of power. Now, getting rid of the cats make power! If you want power, get a full turboback exhaust and engine management.

If you only want sound, just replace the axleback. Buying $500 catback for maybe 10hp just isnt worth it in my book.

Good sound and performance??? That doesn't really say anything.

Also need to know what kind of sound you're thinking about. Single tip. Dual tip. Etc.

My advice would be to go into the classifieds and buy IPOZESTU's APS single tip TBE. Price of a cat back and you get a TOP NOTCH TBE.

sounds good. looks good. performance is good.
