Which one? The oe style or the drifter style?

If you get the mid pip with it, it will help a lot more than just the axleback itself. Plus you can get the s pipe for added performance.

I'm prolly gonna rock the oe style, but I wanna see what it sounds like first.

if you read around here, you;ll find people have had quality issues with megan products.

the s-pipe would help in that you would be less restricted since the stock s-pipe is restrictive. this has been talked about w/in the forum

the midpipe will help with the flow and make it louder.

if you do anything, get the s-pipe and something other than megan - greddy, hks, injen are of better quality than megan

yes , a little - and i think the performance gain is minimal.

to notice performance gains from intake, headers, exhaust parts, pulleys, etc. you have to combine them. the gains the companies mention are alwyas inflated or at the crank and not the wheels.

the more you incrase the air flow from intake to exhaust, the louder it'll get.

but STOP with this noise stuff. makin noise is USELESS if ur not puttin it to the wheels. noise doesnt add horsepower.
