What is the difference between an axle back system and a cat back system, and which (in your opinion) is best?
Thanks

A "cat back" system is the exhaust pipes and mufflers from the catalytic converters to the back of the car. I suppose the "axle back" idea essentially means just mufflers. I have never heard the "axle back" term used, at least on C5's. I would also suggest that no real power gain is to be obtained from an exhaust swap. The stock system flows pretty well. If you want to change how it sounds, go for it, but don't expect any power gain.
I too have a Leman's Blue 06 vet and would like better sounding exhaust so if you come up with one let me know. ThanksI'm curious, I have a 2005 C6 coupe and I was wanting to put on some nice sounding pipes not to loud and not to over powering when going on a long trip and yet I don't want to spend alot of money, any suggestions on what I might get?
Thanks
They have been calling the newer catback systems axle back because on the newer cars the cats are real close to the exhaust manifolds. Generally the exhaust seperates to go over the axles so the new kits start there. In addition the x or h pipe is usually replaced with high flow cats and that takes up the distance from the cat to the axle section. So, when you purchase an axle back, you are pretty much buying what we would call a catback in the old days. Unfortunately, we pay much more and get much less.

I was @ the local chevy parts counter today and the "GM performance exhaust" is $980.I'm curious, I have a 2005 C6 coupe and I was wanting to put on some nice sounding pipes not to loud and not to over powering when going on a long trip and yet I don't want to spend alot of money, any suggestions on what I might get?
