Specify the Criteria Your Will Use to Select Your Catback Exhaust

Taking a different approach than most other enthusiasts, I set out the criteria that would govern my decision in purchasing a catback exhaust as I was not ready to jeopardize my factory warranty with a turbo back exhaust.  Exhaust performance, tone, weight, quality, ease of installation, and availability were all important to me, as was price.  I determined that I wanted a lightweight, well-designed, exhaust that sounded great and improved performance.

Decide Whether You Want a Titanium or Stainless Steel Exhaust

I immediately knew I faced a choice.  Did I want a stainless steel exhaust or a titanium Exhaust system?  While most consumers do not consider weight when buying an exhaust I had previously conducted a significant amount of research on the effects weight reduction can have on performance.  I knew that shedding weight with every future modification would ultimately lead to a faster, more nimble STI, and I could even expect gas mileage to improve.  "Was the titanium exhaust worth the extra money?" was the question I asked myself.
