Cat Back makes a diffrence?

How much of a diffrence would i feel if i got a full catback exhaust and intake on my car? I know it would be louder but would it be noticably faster aswell? Thanks for the help guys.

i only run the SSI and the megan axleback but i can tell a serious
improvement over stock in the torque dept. low-mid band pulls
very hard. im not sure if the megan has anything to do with it,
but the SSI for sure does.

in the cold season here, it's almost too much power for the shitty
Falken912's im running.

hell yeah it makes a difference.

once i get the WR race header....im sure thats gonna make the biggest difference.

you might as well get a header and a catback first. you will be wanting one, once you get that supercharger. thats how im going about it.


second gear pulls harder with a catback.

Oh yea, catback pulls...I have T1R B-pipe w/ tanabe touring, you can def tell a difference and the tanabe touring actually help tone down the noise level a little and you'll still get the catback benefit...until you get your supercharger then it'll continue to squeeze out a few more HP...

It will def pull better with the cat back. The stock piping is extremely restrictive.
The intake and cat back are great mods to start with!!!

I got my Megan A-back tonight and wow, what a difference! I can imagine what the headers and down pipe will do. Mid power def improved. Did anybody reset their ECU by disconnecting the negative battery? Will it make a difference?

Well i wouldn't necessarily say "faster", but what you will get is a happy butt-dyno, a great sound, maybe even better fuel economy, depending on your driving style. Go with catback 1st though, cuz IMO, intakes on the fit are so-so... the stock airbox is more efficient (not necessarily more power, though) than any aftermarket intake. so see how u like the exhaust, then go buy a SRI, if it doesn't do much for you, just sell/return it... good luck

It's def worth it. Each RPM runs smoother with my Injen CAI setup. MPG is higher too.
