I'm kind of a newbie to this entire high performance car thing...owned trucks all my life and never bothered to do any upgrades to them other than some suspension stuff.

I'm looking for a good exhaust system for my new Wagon. I'm not going to be doing any rally racing or anything just want something that will give me more HP and a nice engine sound. The HKS Carbon-Ti sure looks and sounds nice, but so does other cheaper models. Also what is better..turbo back or cat back? Vishnu is close to my place (Milpitas)...maybe I should simply pay them a little visit? Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks!

 

Considering your location, Vishnu would be your top option if you have a WRX. Otherwise, Stromung or maybe blitz are the most popular exhausts.

 

Turbo back's basically can remove your cats or replace your cats with high flow cats. A cat back system will always start from the point of your last cat on the down pipe. Turboback, is a full system that starts from the exhaust housing of the turbo. I have a full cat back system that I am trying to sell right now with a Stromung midpipe and an STI exhaust that is from the dealership. I think is sounds pretty nice and it makes a good throaty sounds like the engine does. It does not drone either.

 

Hahahaha. That was sweet.
