Default Which after cat X pipe??

Well I made up my mind on an exhaust and just went with the roush axlebacks. I was planning on doing the roush axlebacks with an aftercat x pipe but dont know which is better.

I see the BBK and FRPP seem to be popular choices and the BBK seems to be cheaper too. Any suggestions?

I was also thinking of having the factory resonators cut out if I find a good exhaust shop. Any opinions on that? I came from a 2010 that had longtubes, o/r x, and borlas stingers so this thing is extremely quiet and I cant take it anymore lol.

Yeah, why keep em? Unless you're a cali guy. Go O/R X, you won't be dissapointed. Especially with the Roush Axle Backs.

The Roush Axle Backs will be pretty loud. O/R X will make it louder, so if loud is your thing, then get the O/R one.

if he is, then disregard O/R X. You won't pass Cali smog without the cats.

Nope I'm from new york, which is honestly gonna end up becoming like cali. The only reason I didnt want to go with the o/r x is cause I 100% do not want to tune yet and I'm not to crazy about the idea of using non foulers to keep the CEL off. There is a guy on another forum who is getting away with using them but I dont know.

I think I am going to just put the axlebacks on for now, see how it is and if I want it a lot louder I'll just get the o/r x. If I only want it a little louder I'll get an after cat x and cut out the resonators.
