if your in it for preformance you wont get as much out of an axle back as you would a cat back. ive been researching for a while now and the megan drift spec cat back has a nice tone to it. you can listen to it here YouTube - Scion tC Megan Drift Spec catback

Megan Racing
and buy it here

Well, You can also add 3 inch exaust piping. Just talk to somone from any perfomance shop and they will find out what kind of muffler you will need and all that to go with it. The piping will be custom and cat converter will be removed. You will make peoples ears bleed, It also add on some HP.

The TRD exhaust if I'm not mistaken is made by Borla and let me tell you it sounds sweet. I think it costs around $450 but don't quote me on that but thats a pretty good estimate.

i dono if thats true or not but that trd is axle back. borla does make a axel back but not a cat back the best thing to do is go buy a S pipe and buy the borla axleback. probly cost u around 400 bucks.

i do think the TRD is an axle back. or you could go custom its cheaper and better especially if your gonna be running headers. im gonna go custom as soon as i get my megan headers and s-pipe installed. so check out your local muffler/tuner shops and see what they can do.

As with any axleback, it its advisable to update the stock resonator as it is inefficient and not designed for the free flowing axle-backs. This is the main reason why everyone is not satisified with their axle-backs. The TRD exhaust is designed with this deficiency in mind giving it the best overall sound with a stock exhaust. A cat-back is usually tuned with a resonator making it a better setup.

axle back's are the worst .. well in my opinion .. go with a cat back .. i mean there ok but not an option in my book .. go with TRD if you do decide on an axle back exhaust

Cat-back for better sound better power gains. The most that you could possibly see is 15WHP tops and that is iffy. Torque is what your most interested in for that punch back in the seat feeling and starts off the line. Pay close attention to specs on torque and you will see that some exhausts net minimal torque gains. Alot of times, I/H/E systems are not power adders but power enhancers. That is they net you not very much on their own, but as supporting mods against cams, turbos, larger injectors, porting, and NO2; they increase those gains substantially.
