Pacesetter TFX or Jegs catback?

I need to get a catback on my car and the cheapest three are flowmaster (****ty) @ 265$ shipped... Jegs 252$ shipped.... pacesetter TFX @ 259$ shipped....

Now flowmaster is pretty much out of question, heard it, dont like it....

The TFX kit is 3" with 2.5" tips, looks like a nice kit, although one review said fitment was bad (but that was on a truck) all the reveiws said that it added power and was a nice sound.

The jegs kit is 3" aluminized with 2.5" painted silver pipe tips, no real tips(doesnt matter really) I almost just ordered this but had second thoughts, figured id ask.... but it looks the most professional between pacesetter and this.... it said it includes all clamps and hangers, and the picture shows that unlike the tfx that has a pic of a general exhaust system. It says its a turbo style muffler, and that is the same style that alot of other muffler companies offer.

No I am not going to fork out 400$ for a magnaflow or ++++ for gmmg or loudmouth or borla or corsa....

need something cheap, and I think the jeg or tfx will do it for me....

Byunspeed has 2-3 day shipping , ships same day, so ill get it quick... jegs might take 4 days max...

I haven't seen anyone using the Jegs or Pacesetter catbacks. There are name brand catbacks that you can get for under 300 bucks. I'm pretty sure the Hooker is one of them and I have heard of people finding the Magnaflow for under 300 as well.

^wrong, zipped thru atleast ten sites, all sponsors or fbody forums, cant get either for under 350$...

and for all the money im savin I could just buy a magnaflow/hooker replacement muffler and strap that to the pacesetter or jegs catback and still save money.... byunspeed i running a sale on the pacesetter right now, discount for members, i I save enough then that is what im getting...

I-pipe

rear piece


so for $120 plus the cost of a muffler...you can have a good cheap kit.

i say a magnaflow 3" in/out straight thru muffler....with a hidden turndown. should cost another $70 or so.

or get a single in/dual out of your choice and have a shop throw on tips.
