Hello, i just place an order for FR 500S axle back exhaust. Now i m wondering should i keep the stock h pipe or upgrade with a catted x pipe(bbk probably). It has to be catted here where i live.
I ve read reviews but never had a chance to here this combo. I m not lookin for more hp but just for the best sound.
If anybody has experience with it please share!!
Tkank you guys !!

Unless you plan on upgrading to either long tube headers or off road mid pipe, your just wasting hard earned money.. If you want to keep that deep, throaty muscle car sound, I'd recommend staying with your stock catted mid pipe with those FR500S axle backs that you just ordered..
