Best Axle Back for $1100 or under

jcastag · 11-30-2018, 08:38 AM

So I am at the point where I need to get rid of the suitcase..I was pondering axle back or cat back, and to be honest I am not sure I want to deal with the cat back, possible void warranty, CEL, and all the other BS - no even getting into the cost.

I know that the mid pipe has some concerns (crushed pipe, maybe not true x pipe), but I cant in my head justify the cost for the full exhaust on top of the other stuff. I am doing no other mods to my car.

So now I think I settled on an axle back.

I am between these 2:

Borla 11924 NPP- can get for about $1300 (hope I can find cheaper)

Stainless Works NPP - can get for about $850

I know Borla is supposed to be the quality king, but is it worth the extra money?

Any other suggestions or options to look into?

Anyone have experience with either? both? Is the drone bad with the SW axle back?

Car is not my daily driver, so I think even if there is drone it will be OK as long as its not ridiculous.

Thoughts??

Can't imagine a warranty concern. Remove rear to front. Install front to rear. Take time to do it right. Never had a CEL on any exhaust I've done and done all myself going back 20 years.

Stainless work for 850? I think thats great deal.

I would go with Stainless Works. I did the cat back system and am very happy with it.
