Default turboback vs. Catback

What is the difference, and which is better. This would be for my Talon. Thanks.

Turboback runs from the turbo back, catback runs from the cat back. So your setup is header-->turbo-->downpipe-->cat-->exhaust, a turboback will replace the downpipe, cat, and exhuast. A catback only replaces the exhuast behind the cat.

A turboback will give more horsepower but will be more expensive because youre buying more tubing.

Also, most turbo backs eliminate the cat (a few include high flow cats instead of eliminating them) ... So its kinda like doing all of it at once, like killing 3 birds (DP, Cat delete, and exhaust) with one stone, so to speak....

duh... From the turbo back or from the Cat Back. Makes perfect sense... Don't let me operate on you for your own safety...

Get the turbo back, you will flow better without a cat, or with a racing cat.
