However, most exhausts (cat or axle back) don't add a lot of HP and from the axle backs that are available for the F30, they do change the sound. Not to mention, the cat back does normally cost more than an axle back.

Whether its worth the cost can be debated, but I don't see it as a "stupid purchase"

You and I are on the same page.

Don't argue with idiots mate, they'll bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Haha don't be so sensitive, it's all fun.

I heard the stock piping is pretty good already so there I don't think I need a full cat back. Plus, u won't make huge amount of power unless u get a new tune anyways so who cares. lol its all preference.

On a load bearing Super Flo Dyno I saw over 6.5whp and 20ft lbs of tq. For under $1000 and bone stock otherwise, I think that's excellent.

I love the people on these forums that just spew bullshit out of their mouths. No facts, no data just ignorance!

Take the stock cat-back off and you'll see how "pretty good" it is.

Well, it can be improved upon, that is for sure.

But for a stock system, despite it being heavy and crazy quiet, it is fairly straight in the places that count and mostly 3" throughout. 3" is pretty beefy for a stock system.

Did you have to remove that support bracket when you installed your cat-back?

At the time, it was for development, will take pictures of the install when production unit comes in.

Even if you do have to remove the bracket, it comes off easily and quickly.

[bnekic]

Yeah I already removed the bracket. It doesn't fit back on because of the 3in piping, stock piping is crushed in that spot.

does anyone know what the weight is on the stock exhaust system (catback wise) is?

I think it was 38 lbs. That is the weight of the unit from where the midpipe was cut in my picture above with the exhaust off the car.

[Kampfer]

hmmm... i like the sound of the magnaflow system but it is 51lbs. i really do not to add extra weight.

Rogue will be about 5lbs lighter than stock.
