If you have a basically stock setup you won't see much if any performance difference between a good set of mufflers and a cat back. If you have a build motor or are running a blower setup (especially with H/C/I) then you will see a difference. This is assuming you have headers and a matching H/X pipe. <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
