Catback vs. Turbo Back???

Hey guys, I did a search but didn't find exactly what I was looking for. I want to do an exhaust (most likely Banks) but not sure whether to go turbo back or catback. Just wondering a couple things

1. Whats the difference in noise? (between catback and turbo back)
2. Whats the difference in EGT? (between catback and turbo back)
3. I know both systems could "potentially" void my warranty but is a dealer more likely to give me a hard time if he sees a turbo back system compared to a catback?

Thanks in advance!
Sean

Hogmanger,

The sound difference is minimal (if any) if you plan to keep the cat in place, the EGT difference is approx 20-30 degrees and the spool up is enough that you can tell the difference as well. If you are concerned with warranty issues the MBRP would be the way to go, it allows you to install the turbo back system with NO modifications to the factory cat, it just bolts in. All other systems that I am aware of require you to cut the front and or rear piping off of the cat, Ford will most likely get more upset by this than anything else. The MBRP also has a bolt in cat test pipe so you can drop the cat for racing and off road use if you need to. Give us a call we are MBRP's largest distributor and have had every question imaginable asked and can help you with any you might have.
