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.

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?

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.....

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.
