vibrant axel back?

[viber05]

i wanted to know if anyone had the vibrant axel back exhaust kit.

In my opinion,axle-backs are not worth the money.I would spend the extra hundred or so dollars and get a full cat-back system.

[viber05]

aint the only real diff is the cat back has more NEW pipe than and axel back? all i want to do is get a nice deep mellow tone and if i can get that w/o spending the few xtra hundred bucks then why not huh? so what is the gain in getting cat back vs. axel back?

[kevera]

It's your money,not mine.I just do it right the first time.The cat-back is more new pipe,yeah,with bigger resonator and larger diameter piping.I don't know the exact hp increases,but the cat-back has a better increase than an axle-back.Most of the exhaust systems for the Vibe/Matrix sound very deep and mellow.It's your choice.

[viber05]

so a cat back comes w/ a new resonator? and what is the point of the resonator?

[kevera]

Sound control.Plus I thought you wanted a magnaflow,wasn't that on your list of mods.Stick to the list.lol

[viber05]

hmmm your right imma stick to tha list i know magna flow is good and i dont wanna get something and be disapointed in it. LOL.. MAGNAFLOW it is.

[kevera]

I have the magnaflow,and you won't be disappointed.It doesn't sound ricey,but a deep mellow tone.This guy has the best prices for them,might as well spend the extra hundred dollars and get what you want.http://www.neverenoughauto.com...=1687

yea i have my self a nice wish list through that site. and your right about the best prices.

mostly all the availible exhaust for the vibe are axle back i believe only magnaflow is cat back which involves cutting and clamping or welding. but there are some nice sounding ones and they all give about the same power increase.

[viber05]

do you know of a site where i can see some comparisons? oh yea where did you get that spike antenna ive been looking for one forever. i want i want i want.....

[mistertwo]

as long as you are aware, the magnaflow requires you to cut the stock system.. if you were looking to go the "bolt on" route, i would sway towards the axle back. If money doesn't matter, have one custom fab'd to your specs.
