exhaust axle back is exaclty what it says, its a muffler replacement from your axle back..

a catback system, is from your catalytic converters back

If you are looking for under $300, u may have to go with just axleback, but that keeps your existing Y-pipe which is restrictive...if you got true duals with an x or h-pipe, then you may get better sound but you will have to cut your rear bumper or get a GT takeoff to replace your existing...all in all that will cost more than $300, but you maybe more happier with the results! Ride around your town and talk to your local muffler shops...you may be able to get duals and all work done for $300...mine cost $456 out the door, for true Super 40's with H-pipe (see my sig)

I would save the $300 until you have nearly 600 and get a Tuner/CAI combo from one of the following:

-Evolution
-Bamachips (offers both C&L or TI, I was happy with my TI when I had it)
-Alternative Auto
-Brenspeed

You will be amazed at the difference after this upgrade. Trust me.

I would get the exhaust, a MRT or nice single axle back. I wouldn't get a CAI unless you get a tuner with some tunes bundled with it.
