Its not a cat-back, more custom, but put a SI/DO Super 44 on with 2.5" tailpipes and you'll like it.

its honestly not that hard.... i have welded a few on before.. i dont know why you guys hate cutouts.... heh they work perfect for me plus, they are close-able on demand through a switch or a pulley in you car's cabin... whats not to like... loud noise, easy to use, easy to install, close-able if needed. but its just a suggestion.

Thats mostly the reason. Not all of us like annoying exhausts.
