Axle-Back Exhausts Explained
Axle-back exhaust systems are exactly what they sound like – an exhaust tips and cat-back exhaust setups. While axle-back systems only replace the rear portion of the exhaust, a cat-back system replaces everything from the catalytic converters to the rear axle. Essentially, it's a full exhaust system compared to only a piece of the exhaust system.On one hand, axle-backs are more affordable and focus more on style and sound, whereas cat-back systems focus more on improving exhaust flow, reducing back pressure, and improving performance. That said, you can always start with an axle-back and remove individual parts of your exhaust over time to keep costs manageable and have more control over power and sound.
