How many ppl use a cat back exh?
So, how many people here use just a cat back exhaust?
Also does anybody run a tbe with a high-flow cat? (helix hi-flow catted dp)

i have a pde dp(catless) with a blitz nur spec cat back(with resonator)...what i like about this set up is that the cat back is designed to hook up with the stock dp which uses the stock spring and bolts and donut gasket, then the pde is designed to bolt up to any aftermarket catback that bolts to a stock dp..(you catch)
i like it because it doesn't give me any leaks(I HATE EXHAUST LEAKS)...i've tried a different dp different from the pde with just a flat flange with my nur spec and it gave me a frickin LEAK...or sometimes it just doesn't line up right, it happens...and so i think this is ONE of the good exhaust set up, as there are many out there...oh yeah it's pretty LOUD!!!

I have the same setup as Rudy. Awesome rumble w/the Blitz. Fitment is great.
To be honest with you, I found my best performance w/the PDE dp and the Borla Hush catback. I haven't been able to get within .3 seconds of my personal best times with the Blitz NUR spec catback.

I have a Helix up and down mated to a GReddy SP2. Helix uses a flat flange but I've had good luck with it not leaking. One of the quietest TBE setups, a few ppl tell me it's quieter than the Borla Hush.

^^^His really is loud...I remember one time I was at Ward Centre eating with a friend and he drove in the parking structure...damn thing shook my Margarita 
When did you get a Blitz?
OK and for me...
Helix Up
PDE DP
Greddy Evo Catback
...good stuff no leaks because of the flex of the Helix and the way they constructed the PDE...not as loud as others but still has the Suby Rumble.
