[QUOTE="Carey Frennier, post: 822809, member: 66764"] I was in the exact same situation back in June. I was torn between the cat back system and the muffler swap. You can't use all of the cat back system since the STA has a rear exit pipe, not a side exit. I'm not sure why you would spend the extra money on a pipe that runs from teh cat to the muffler in the kit when you can achieve the same thing with a less expensive piece from your local muffler shop. I'd just do the muffler and save myself a ton of money. I got mine from performancepeddler.com for next to nothing. If you don't remove the factory resonator you won't hear a bit of difference in the exhaust sound. Some members who wanted a much more mellow sound actually added a Magnaflow resonator. I love the way mine sounds without a resonator. It's mellow at low rpm and it screams at high rpm. No crackling at all. When I first got it, it crackled a little bit when I manually downshifted the automatic tran. [/QUOTE]
