Should I take off my NPP and replace it by Borla ATAK?

[Lio Martinez]

I like my NPP exhaust , specially with the fuse pulled. But I'm always looking for ways to make the car sound better and perform. Just curious to knkw what people think will the outcome be I the NPP gets replaced by a Borla either cat back or axle back ??

Also is there a big improvement from the axle back to the cat back ?

Don't do either... Buy hi flo cats or cat less midpipes instead. You'll get the sound and gain some power too

And then sell your npp to me!

Hey Lio, agreed put high flow cat's, i did and wouldn't ever change. The sound gives morning wood every time i start her. Hey Lio, on a different note, im looking at a turbo in the next 6 months. What i have found if like $6600.00 what did you fork out for yours?

I already hand JBA catless mid pipes. And recently bought a set of JBA shorty headers the only ones that work with the Turbonerics kit. Those will be installed in 2 weeks plus the Alky Meth Kit. But I'm still looking for a bit more of sound.

For the turbo I got mine for $5K from a member here a while back it was brand new. I think the Turbonetics goes for $7K or less. If you interested on it call them and ask for Reggie Wynn. He is the sales manager. Just tell him Lio sent you.

Reading this, i don't think the ATAK is going to get you where you want to be relative to the investment. Turbos naturally quiet an engine (like a muffler). There's really no way around that. You could always delete the mufflers altogether or do what I did and upgrade to a 3" Catback.

Go with Billy Boat or Corsa. Im really not a fan of the Atak. Doesn't sound good to me. I've heard the Atak in person.

Thanks for the comment. Now I'm debating on it. But it's true I got the car with it so it means A lot.

Which 3 inch car back did you get and how much was it?

All of you guys that have the solo high flow cats, are they throwing the check engine light or did everyone figure out how to not have the CEL w/o tuning? That's the only thing that's stopped me from adding Solo to exhaust.

What do you guys think of the Stainless Works 3 in all straight pipe. Quad tip car back ?

If you plan on tracking your car, many tracks have 90-93 decibel limits and the NPP is at 89 under full throttle. here is what the NPP REALLY sounds like from behind, it does not get much better in my opinion.

I really wanted to Stainless Works 3" Quad Tip system but they sent me the wrong one (muffler resonated) for a turbo car. With your car being turbo, make sure you get the muffler delete version! (CA12CB-FML). Very important or you'll actually lose significant power (too much back pressure in a retro chambered).

Instead, I have the ZL1 Corsa with JBA cat less midpipes. Couldn't be happier. Has me wonder what the SW would be like though...
