Smile Cat back Vs Axle back

Hi All
Would anyone know what the difference in sound and power gain from Cat Back Vs Axle Back..
I'm considering Invidia Q300, price difference between both is around $900, I'm happy to spend the extra dollars if it's worth it,
but also happy to keep it if it's not.....
Cheers
Jay

How loud do you want it to be? Catback will sound deeper and louder. Axle back prob wont be too noticeable until redline

Typical horsepower gains from an axle back exhaust system on a 2GR-FSE is 5-7rwhp.

A full catback exhaust system will provide an average gain of 10-12rwhp.
