Default Muff del or catback?

Sup everyone, I've been contemplating getting an exhaust done. It's either between deleting the mufflers with tips ($250) or getting the tsudo catless catback. ($600)

what do do you guys think? Anyone with the tsudo setup?

Full catback is usually ideal since you'll see performance gains. The muffler delete you still have the smaller diameter piping on the mid section so its purely for the sound of deletes with maybe a minor gain. Really up to you if its for sound and you like the muffler delete note go for that, but generally we reccommend an Axleback or Catback!

Agreed go full Catback. When you do that, it'll sound a lot better and feel the performance go up.

I opted for the muffler delete. Sounds great and very inexpensive. That said, I choose this for a few reasons but mostly for the expense and sound. I love it & wouldn't change a thing.

BUT if performance gains, sound, future exhaust enhancements and the "big muffler" look from the tail end is what you're after....definitely go catback or axleback. It's always your best bet.
