Who's running stage 2 with a 3" decat/downpipe and the oem catback?
berg:
you can do it no problems, although i dont think you get ALL the performance.
i ran stg 2+ with just the pipewerx downpipe and then added the full tbe and i could definately feel a difference with the butt dyno as soon as i picked the car up.
but no idea what it equated to in terms of bhp/torque, i just remember Hurdy seeing my car on the ramp at Statllers and saying "that oem catback will be slowing you down" :grin:

I am running the toyosports 3" decat to standard cat back, it sounds epic!!!!! I had some timber hanging out the back yesterday and so had the boot open slightly, didnt realise how good I sounds from the out side.. Was awesome, especially higher in the rev range, I might drive everywhere with the boot open from now on!! :driver:
NudgeMe:
So would be a better alternative to STD down pipe and aftermarket cat-back system?

I dyno'd my piper non res cat back with my pipewerx 3" DP before and after and it gave me a whopping 1hp!!!

If your after more noise but not bothered about power then yes, go for a std DP with aftermarket cat abck.
If your after more power but not the noise then no, go for an aftermarket DP with stock cat back.
If your after noise and power then go for a full TBE.
NudgeMe:
I'm definately looking for power over noise, I'm not unhappy with the standard exhaust note.
Essentially it'll be cheaper to gain a little power than potentially a lot of annoying (subjective) noise.
Plus my budget wont stretch to a *new* TBE by budget I mean Mrs LOL.
