Pros and Cons, Axel back or muffler delete?
Ok, I'm on a budget and don't have the money for the exhaust system I want right now. I've been looking around and seen that there's axel back exhaust systems for the car. After doing more research I seen that cats are doing muffler deletes which is a much cheaper option and I could the money saved away towards the exhaust system I want. My question is what are the pros and cons about doing the muffler delete if any, would it be better to get an axel back than do the muffler delete?

Muffler delete is really loud and raspy, it will sound cheap. Axleback like top speed muffled version will sound a lot cleaner. Each their own but I wouldn't put a muffler delete on a G

I had a muffler delete. Wasn't too loud and sounded pretty good but if you have a coupe I would get an axleback. All said and done I spent almost the same amount of money as an axle back for my sedan when I did my muffler delete but only because we do not have the options the coupe crowd does.

Muffler delete on sedan isn't raspy. On the contrary, a 2.25 Fast Intentions system with 12'' resonators does. Weird, the quality full catback sounds worse than a muffler delete.

Muffler deletes do not sound bad. I feel like everyone posting bad stuff about them has never heard one in person. I got compliments for mine when I was at the race track by people with more expensive cars than my G. I only took them off in search of performance gains by building an exhaust

axle backs are cheap and will get you a louder, deeper exhaust note without sounding harsh or obnoxious.
a cat back isn't going to add much if any hp, unless maybe you spend $$$$texas on every bolt on you can get and a custom tune.
you can spend ~$1700 on an Ark cat back, or less than $300 on an axle back and get pretty much the same result. the Ark does extend your e-***** a bit on a car forum or two, though.
