If all you want is sound, just get a used muffler for cheap. $400-$500 for a catback that only adds sound...maybe 5 hp is definatly NOT worth it. Again, just my humble opinion

Although if you did a catback first then you would have a 2.5" downpipe going into a 3" catback. Compared to a 3"dowpipe going into a 2.5" catback. From a common sense point of view the 3" into a 2.5" would give you a little back pressure as where the other way would give you better flow. Not sure just a thought that i where talking about at the meet.
Just my two cents!
