Bang for the buck would be buying a set of TSP catless headers, resonated X piped, tied into your factory NPP muffler. Would require a tune, but even after the headers, install, and tune you be about the same cost as a Borla or Corsa NPP axleback. And the headers will give you a bump in sound and 25-30whp more power. Then you can sell your throttle controller and put that money into a flex fuel sensor that will allow you to run pump gas, E85 or a blend of both... There is another 20-25whp gain.

If you're on a budget a catback or axleback at these prices is not a good choice on these cars that see no gains from new mufflers(sub-900 hp).
Absolutely correct gentlemen, solid guidance.
