this might sound dumb, but whats the difference, if any, in a cat-back system and a backbox??

do you get an extra pipe (middle pipe) with the cat-back??cat-back

both the same, both refer to the section after the catalytic convertor section. IS and altezza are different from here forward as far as i know. Where is everyone buying these exhausts from TDI?

The misleading part is the friggin HKS website picture that shows a muffler and a mid pipe... but thats a generic picture and for the IS200/RS200 you only get the muffler (backbox) ;)

ahh right. i just thought a cat-back system would mean you'd get another pipe as well as the back box.

out of interest, on the sumo power website for example, they have prices for HKS Hi Power for SXE10 at £360ish, but a price for a 'universal' Hi Power Silent of about £150. So, whats the reason for the high difference in price? Isa there a lot of work needed for the universal one to fit??

HKS do a proper hi-flow cat :whistling:

hmmm bet its pricey though! heard powerflow can make on up for approx 80 euro

you need to check number of cells as well...........with HKS may be dearer but it does what it says on the time..........tin even

you can try price the SARD one for me, not going to spend tons a money on one though. maybe just get a bit of straight pipe custom made!
