And where did you get this crazy notion? Lol axlebacks only offer about 5hp catbacks as much as 12hp on the TC .

LOL

love that emote.

yeah we have a restrictive exhaust and the car does respond pretty well to replacing it.

well it doesnt do much is what i mean, and what they gain (between the brands) is basically the same. compared to my old turbo eclipse, and awd talon, these bolt ons dont do much at all.

well, i made two claims.

first: the gains are low compared to boosted cars.

second: the gains for each exaust for the tC, regardless of brand, are about the same.

so my conclusion was to choose one based off of how good it sounds; i do NOT under any circumstances want a raspy farty exhaust. and i know thats difficult to pull off in 4 cylinder, non turbo engines.

the first claim is pretty much an understood given, and used as an opinion to state the scale of comparrison. as for the second claim, i have yet to see solid evidence to prove otherwise (comparing axel-backs. im not gonna cut apart my exhaust and weld custom stuff on it). just using logical deduction to explain why i'd pick X exhaust over Y exhaust.
