Anyone care to chime in on this one? Sorry for the thread jacking but it's sorta relevant?
According to what I see on their site, for stage 2 they recommend a cat back exhaust, not axle back. And of course downpipes are required. between the dp's and cat back your are getting rid of all the cats. Which, of course, will improve exhaust flow.
