IMO add the extractors later they will also give KW and will only change noise slightly as you would of already had cat back done
yep this was precisely what i was getting at :thumleft:

Oh so the total kw gain of the entire zost is throughout, i thought it i read from somewhere here that the headers+hiflow cat held most, if not, all of the kw gains, and minimal for the 2.5 catback upgrade. oh well, thats good news for me then

one other thing, when getting the extractors, collector pipe and high flow cat done, does the shop replace the O2 sensors or do you DIY ?

looks like itll be 260$ less for me as the cannon muffler will be the tip.

agreed cannons are loud and barky not deep

Well at the wisemens ferry cruise i really ddnt get to witness it properly ..

But how do you get a deep and throaty exhaust note ? like the tone is mostly from the engine, not like those ones that have a sound of their own

All I have done is changed out the cat and back muffler to high flow and that gives of a nice deep sound.
