Just put on the MTM system. Sounds great and seems to add some nice power. Can't speak for the other brand. Installed I paid about 1,700.

I have the APR from the turbo back. If you're looking for performance...go with the turbo back...the cat back is really nice though. I ran into a problem with the downpipes due to the deletion of the precats. You have to use APR's computer chip in order for the check engine light to shut off. Performance is good, however I haven't been on the highway to really attest to the true speed of the vehicle. The exhaust note is just right for me...not the rice burner tub sound...just really deep and throaty.

Default Scorpion, MTM or Borla are better, because there are only two pieces.

I'm not sure how many pieces the APR exhaust is, but I hear it's pretty loud.

Default MTM is too much when you can buy the Scorpion for around a grand.

The Scorpion is nicer looking, fully polished, has larger cans, and has insulated tips.

If all sections are SEALED properly, why would it matter ?

Default umm... thought all of those are 3 piece just like Forge/Milltek?!?...

at least I know Borla and MTM are 3 piece with y-pipe section, middle can section, and rear can/tips sections.

Borla:

You can *never* get those band clamps to stay sealed, because they stretch when they heat up..

Huh? That's odd. My Borla was only two pieces.
