RE: catback or none

It will help with opening up the exhaust some more. Catback systems are 2 1/2 inch piping where the stock is 2 1/4

You'll only see gains of 3-5 hp w/ a cat-back. I just stuck with mufflers, $100 compared to $350-$400 wins my vote...

RE: catback or none

if you wish to save money (i do) go with mufflers. cat back is nice, but 100 compared to 400? no question there. the h/p gain is very little, won't even notice the difference betweem mufflers or a cat back. i love my flowmasters w/out cats, real nice deep sound.
