Axle-back

One of the quickest exhaust upgrades you can choose is the axel-back.  This type of exhaust replaces the stock system from the rear axle to the muffler.  Hence the name.  Requiring no cutting of stock components, the typical turnaround time on installation is less than an hour.  The driver will notice a small change in power.  The most noticeable difference will be the sound your vehicle puts out.  Overall, the axle-back has the least effect on performance and fuel economy enhancements. 

Cat-back

A step up from the axel-back system, a cat-back exhaust will provide drivers with more noticeable enhancements.  This custom exhaust replaces stock components from the behind the catalytic converter to the muffler. The replacement provides a fairly decent increase on the original performance and fuel economy.  Some upgrades can make a vehicle noncompliant with smog emissions.  One of the best features of a cat-back system is that your emissions will remain the same. 

Header-back

The header-back system is a complete replacement of stock components with aftermarket components.  If your goal is to have the most significant impact on performance and fuel economy, this is the upgrade for you.  That being said, not all vehicles are ready for this type of upgrade.  In most cases, preparations need to made to the vehicle before installation can occur.
