Magnaflow or RFL-TI????
Just got approved for my loan to fix the wifey's carport cruisade damage. Funny, though, I have a little bit extra comin' in! (shhhh!) 
:banana: I already have the turboxs uppipe & downpipe, so I'm going to go ahead & finish off the exhaust (finally). Just wondering anybody's opinion on whether to go with the standard muffler, or the RFL-TI that they have to offer. Also, while I'm at it, any opinions on cat-less or just getting the high-flow cat would be helpful too. Thanx everyone in advance!

cat or no cat depends on Your personal opinion of running your car without a cat! So decide in that sense. It'll obviously cost more to buy a high flow cat, but to me, it is worth it.
I like the style of the RFL-Ti better, .... are they sold as only axle backs? or cat-backs also?
I also like the new Greddy Power Extreme II exhaust!

Funkdrmr,
Based off my experince w/ the Magna flow I wish i never sold it. That exhaust was so tame especially in the higher Rpm's. I never got a ticket for recon when i had it and my car was lowered at the time. My car is back to stock height, i have an exhaust very similiar to the RFL and i have gotten 2 recon tickets in the 5 months i have had my different exhuast. Maybe its just my luck( i don't have very good luck
) Also if you end up getting the straight pipe and don't like it i'll do and even trade for my high flow cat that i got from turboXS Good luck w/ your decision

Thanks Mario....I'll definitely keep you in mind if I decide I don't want the cat-less pipe! Looks like all the questions are answered....going cat-less with the Magnaflow, mainly because of the volume factor. I just hope it doesn't bite me in the rear if I do more upgrades in the future! Gotta thank everyone for their help.....I appreciate it!

MachV is right,
that GReddy exhaust looks good. Almost as straight as the Tanabe, I'm assuming bigger pipe diameter. Nolimit, you have pm.

i've got the RFL Ti, its a beautiful exhaust system but i've seen alot of nicer exhaust systems such as the Greddy or the HKS for that price or lower.
