Unleashing Performance: Axle Back vs. Cat Back Exhaust Systems | Quick Guide

Jan 24, 2024

Are you looking to upgrade your vehicle’s exhaust system for a boost in performance and a distinctive sound? Let’s delve into the world of aftermarket exhausts, specifically comparing axle back and cat back systems to help you make an informed decision.

Axle Back Exhaust Systems:

Axle back exhaust systems offer a balance between performance, style, and sound enhancement. They are a cost-effective option compared to cat back systems. By replacing the exhaust components from the rear axle to the tailpipe, axle back systems provide a noticeable change in exhaust tone and aesthetics.

2022+ HYUNDAI ELANTRA N STILLEN CAT-BACK EXHAUST SYSTEM

The benefits of axle back systems include:

Improved Sound: Experience a richer and more aggressive exhaust note without breaking the bank.
Enhanced Style: Many manufacturers offer customization options, including various finishing tips such as carbon fiber, blue burnt tips, or polished stainless steel.

Cat Back Exhaust Systems:

For those seeking maximum performance gains, cat back exhaust systems are the go-to choice. Unlike axle back systems, cat back upgrades replace components from the catalytic converters to the tailpipe, eliminating restrictive elements like crush bands and mufflers.

Key advantages of cat back systems include:

Optimized Performance: By employing mandrel bent tubing and less restrictive mufflers, cat back systems allow exhaust gases to exit more efficiently, resulting in increased power.
Comprehensive Upgrade: Cat back systems provide a holistic enhancement to the entire exhaust system, ensuring a consistent boost in performance.

Customization Options:

One of the exciting aspects of upgrading your exhaust system is the ability to customize its appearance. Manufacturers offer various finishing tips, allowing you to choose between carbon fiber, blue burnt tips, polished stainless steel, or even unique finishes like black ceramic coating.

In conclusion, whether you opt for an axle back or a cat back exhaust system depends on your priorities. If you’re looking for a cost-effective way to enhance sound and style, an axle back system might be the ideal choice. However, if maximizing performance gains is your primary goal, investing in a cat back system will provide a comprehensive upgrade for your vehicle’s exhaust.

Upgrade your driving experience, unleash the full potential of your vehicle, and make a statement on the road with a carefully chosen aftermarket exhaust system.

STILLEN Stainless Steel Cat-Back Exhaust System for the Nissan Rogue!

Apr 27, 2022

In 2018 STILLEN introduced one of the beefiest sounding Rogue Exhausts you will ever hear coming from a compact cross-over sport utility vehicle. This Nissan Rogue was born in a quiet factory environment and STILLEN has opened up the doors awakening a new voice to the Nissan platform.

At start up you will experience a more gratifying exhaust note. The STILLEN Cat-Back Exhaust has an instant deep purr and perfect back pressure gargle. Revving the engine actually eliminates most of the engine noise and you hear a more prominent exhaust note. The exhaust relates very close to a Infiniti G35 exhaust system and keeps the traditional Nissan performance sporty sound.

Getting on the throttle, the Rogue wakes up giving it a new sound and feel. During acceleration the torque takes over. When you let off the throttle and relax to a cruise, the exhaust note smooths out providing the best power without the loud instrumental decibel noise.

How the Infiniti Q50/Q60 VR30DDTT Cat-Back Exhaust from STILLEN® was Made!

Jun 25, 2019

The STILLEN® Cat-Back Exhaust System for the VR30DDTT Infiniti Q50 and Infiniti Q60 3.0t has an aggressive tone under hard acceleration, but mellow during cruising, with that unmistakable STILLEN sound. STILLEN engineers unlocked a 26WHP and 29WTQ Gain. Those numbers are nothing to sneeze at, and you’d be hard pressed not to notice an additional 29lb/ft of torque.

STILLEN went through extensive design, engineering and testing to ensure the STILLEN Infiniti Q50 and Infiniti Q60 Cat-Back Exhaust Systems would be the best available for our customers. Designed to fit beautifully into the OEM valance or as a compliment to a STILLEN® Rear Diffuser, this system looks as good as it sounds. Available with three tip options to suit your tastes – choose from Carbon Fiber, Polished or Burnt-Titanium Look Tips to give your Q’s rear end that ‘extra something’ it needed.

Years of racing and product development have taught STILLEN that relying on computer software simulations or using comparable product data is not enough to produce the best possible product for our customers. There is no substitute for physical validation especially when it comes to the Nissan’s VR30 Engine. Numerous Infiniti Q50 and Infiniti Q60 Cat-Back Systems were tested through dyno pulls and extensive data logging. STILLEN’s rigorous procedures even included testing different merge angles between pipes. The result of STILLEN’s rigorous program found a “Y-Pipe” layout similar to what is found on the Nissan GTR VR38 Engine produced the best result.

The STILLEN Cat-Back Exhaust System consist of a Y-Pipe, Mid- Pipe, and Dual Mufflers w/ Interchangeable Tips. The 2.5″ diameter Y-Pipe configuration allows for better airflow. The Y-Pipe than connects to the Mid-Pipe. The 3″ diameter Mid-Pipe than carries the exhaust gases to the rear of the vehicle where it branches back into 2.5″ diameter dual rear exit. Upon meeting the rear exhaust pipes the exhaust gases flow through the STILLEN engineered and manufactured mufflers. The 4.5″ diameter bolt-on exhaust tips enable you to adjust the tip position for a proper fit no matter what bumper or aero you choose to run at the back. Finally, the exhaust note is mild and well-mannered under normal driving conditions, but quickly turns aggressive and authoritative when under throttle. The overall size of the STILLEN Cat Back Exhaust System will differ to the Infiniti Q50 and Infiniti Q60 respectively.

STILLEN’s use of mandrel bent 304 Stainless Steel backed by a limited lifetime warranty ensures your cat-back exhaust will last. The VR30DDTT Infiniti Q50 and Infiniti Q60 Cat Back Exhaust is proudly engineered and manufactured in the USA at its facilities in Costa Mesa, California.

The STILLEN’s 2017-2018 Infiniti Q60 3.0T Cat-Back Exhaust System

Feb 18, 2019

STILLEN’s 2017-2018 Infiniti Q60 3.0T Cat-Back Exhaust System!

STILLEN® released one of the most powerful cat-back exhaust system for the Infiniti Q60 3.0T. The twin turbo V6 VR30DDTT engine from Infiniti is a very exciting power plant that comes with a tremendous amount of potential and opportunity. STILLEN is excited to get to work tuning this baby GT-R platform!

To start with the development of this Cat-Back Exhaust System, STILLEN created multiple prototype systems. Ranging from true dual to X pipe to Y pipe with varying diameters of tube in each configuration. Having been in the business of developing high performance exhaust systems for more than three decades we have learned that there is no formula or cheat sheet for creating a performance exhaust system. The only way to find out what works best for an engine and vehicle configuration is to build and test.

Having developed a wide range of prototype exhaust systems our engineering team hit the dyno to see which configuration produced the best results. After all of the tests were completed, we were a little bit surprised to learn that the best exhaust system was lying in front of us the whole time. The twin turbo V6 Nissan GT-R favors a dual into single back to dual configuration and after our testing was complete we learned that the Infiniti Q60 VR30DDTT does too. This exhaust system features a 2.5” Y pipe which flows into a 3” mid-pipe. The 3” mid-pipe then carries the exhaust gases to the rear of the vehicle where it branches back into 2.5” dual rear exit.

Upon meeting the rear exhaust pipes the exhaust gases flow through the STILLEN engineered and manufactured mufflers. During our development, the STILLEN engineering team struggled to get the exhaust note “just right” with traditional off the shelf mufflers. This can be a common problem when working on a turbo engine as the turbo acts like a muffler and restricts the engines exhaust note. Our engineering team struggled to find the balance between too loud and too quiet until the decision was made to develop and manufacture our own muffler bespoke to the VR30DDTT platform. STILLEN has been manufacturing their own mufflers in house since 2002 with great success.

The end result of our teams tireless work is the most powerful cat-back exhaust for the Infiniti Q60 is available today. This system features 100% stainless steel construction, laser cut 304 stainless steel flanges, polished stainless steel mufflers and a selection of three different exhaust tips ranging from polished stainless steel, flame burnt torch series stainless steel, to polished stainless steel wrapped in dry carbon fiber. All of this backed by STILLEN’s limited lifetime warranty.

Product Features:

Greatest Incremental Horsepower Gain: 26.3 HP @ 4,680 RPM
Greatest Incremental Torque Gain: 29.5 lb-ft @ 4,680 RPM
100% Stainless Steel
Limited lifetime Warranty

Top Exhaust: Magnaflow Exhaust 2017 Honda Civic Type R

Jul 26, 2017

Top Exhaust: Magnaflow Exhaust 2017 Honda Civic Type R

Honda created quite a buzz when it’s new Civic Type R FK8 set a class record at the famed Nurburgring Nordschleife racetrack in Germany. They maintained this momentum with the announcement that the Type R trim would be returning to America for the first time since 2001 and for the first time as a Civic Type R. Introducing the Top Exhaust: Magnaflow Exhaust 2017 Honda Civic Type R.

The Type R FK8 comes from the factory with a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine generating 306 horsepower. As with any turbocharged engine, the easier that the turbo can breathe, the more efficiently it will operate and the greater the potential output. Unfortunately, most factory exhaust systems are built conservatively to keep sound levels and cost down. This is also a common bottleneck for performance.

Exhaust manufacturer Magnaflow prides itself for being at the forefront of development, especially when it comes to supporting new vehicle models and platforms. Magnaflow’s latest development is the first cat-back exhaust system to market for the new Civic Type R FK8.

The new Magnaflow Cat-back Exhaust for 2017 Civic Type R [FK8] (19383) is the latest addition to the Competition Series of exhausts. This exhaust features mandrel bent, 2.5-inch 409 stainless steel tubing with V-band clamp connections. A straight through pipe (included with this exhaust system) can be easily swapped with the resonated presilencer for a more aggressive exhaust note. The exhaust terminates into a triple muffler configuration finished with carbon fiber tips. Magnaflow states that this exhaust lends to a more aggressive exhaust note while reducing overall system mass, shedding unwanted, excessive weight. Like all Magnaflow exhausts, the new Civic Type R Cat-back Exhaust features Magnaflow’s limited lifetime warranty.

Magnaflow is first to market with this exhaust for the new Civic Type R FK8… Be among the first on the streets with it! STILLEN is taking preorders on this exciting new exhaust, place your preorder today!

Best Q50 Exhaust: STILLEN 2016 Infiniti Q50 3.0tt Cat Back Exhaust

Apr 12, 2017

Best Exhaust: STILLEN 2016 Infiniti Q50 Cat Back Exhaust

It’s no secret that turbocharged engines thrive when allowed to breathe. Naturally-aspirated engines rely on some back pressure to create a scavenging effect to help maintain exhaust gas velocity. By contrast, turbocharged engines and particularly, the turbocharger(s), function most efficiently when the exhaust offers the least amount of possible resistance.

When Infiniti released the Q50 and Q60 with its new twin-turbocharged VR30DDTT engine, a new chapter in the performance passenger car segment had begun. Drawing on its experience with the VR38 engine that powers the mighty GT-R, the sturdy and underrated VR30 engine relies on its twin Garrett turbochargers to generate boost pressure. When allowed to breathe, the turbochargers really come to life.

STILLEN’s recently developed Short Ram Intake System (402856) (402856DF) has already proven to help produce incremental gains of over 20 horsepower and 33 lb-ft torque to the wheels. Employing years of engineering and manufacturing experience, along with hours of testing on its in-house Dynojet Dynamometer, STILLEN proudly presents its Cat-back Exhaust System for the 2016+ Infiniti Q50 3.0T Silver Sport and Red Sport (p/n 504450, 504451, 504452).

In the quest for the greatest gains possible, STILLEN engineers worked tirelessly to optimize this exhaust system. After several design revisions and numerous prototypes, this Cat-back Exhaust improved output with a best incremental gain of 21.37 horsepower at 4,750RPM and 23.94 lb-ft torque at 4,780RPM.

The Best Exhaust: STILLEN 2016 Infiniti Q50 Cat Back Exhaust features T-304 stainless-steel construction for corrosion resistance and durability, along with slip fit connectivity for weight reduction. The 3-inch mid-pipe mates to the catalytic converter and splits into two 2.5-inch axle-back mufflers. The mufflers terminate in your choice of three different exhaust tip finishes, including carbon fiber (p/n 504450), stainless steel (p/n 504451) and burnt stainless steel (p/n 504452). The bolt-on exhaust tips enable you to adjust the tip position for a proper fit no matter what bumper or aero you choose to run at the back. You can also purchase the other tips separately in the case that you want to change up the look of your exhaust.

STILLEN proudly engineers and manufactures its products in the USA at its facilities in Southern California.

New Injen Aftermarket Products for 2016 Honda Civic Turbo

May 2, 2016

With the recent release of the new 2016 Honda Civic, it was only a matter of time before accompanying aftermarket performance parts followed suit. The 1.5-liter turbo variant – the first mass-production Honda offered with a turbo – has arguably garnered the most attention from both car enthusiasts and performance manufacturers alike. Churning out improved, respectable numbers from the factory (174 horsepower at 6000 rpm and a zero to 60 time of 6.8 seconds), the new Civic has many salivating at the possibilities of even greater performance. Injen Technology has been one of the first aftermarket manufacturers to jump onto the scene with parts for 2016 Honda Civic turbo. These offerings include a 3″ stainless steel cat-back exhaust, a cold air intake, and a short ram intake – some of the most common first modifications on a driver’s to-do-list. Below, we’ve broken down these three products and their respective features for you.

2016 Honda Civic Turbo Cat-Back Exhaust

Before any aftermarket systems were even conceived, the 2016 Honda Civic 1.5T’s exhaust was already garnering a lot of attention. From the factory, a dual-tipped exhaust system accompanies the rear end of the EX and Touring trim levels – a notable first for any Civic. Injen decided to opt out of the dual exhaust tips in favor of a single-exit exhaust, however, ultimately giving the car a simpler, cleaner look. The 3″ stainless steel cat-back exhaust comes equipped with an embossed muffler and resonators with steel rolled tips. As for the performance output, Injen claims the system will add a respectable 8 HP and 7 lb-ft of torque. The exhaust offers a nice, consistent deep tone, serving as a great accompaniment to the Civic turbo’s newfound performance.

This 3” Injen cat-back exhaust system will give your new Civic turbo the powerful sound it deserves.

2016 Honda Civic Turbo Cold Air Intake

A cold air intake is often one of the first modifications performed on any vehicle due to its relatively simplistic and affordable nature. Though cold air intake performance gains vary by vehicle, Injen claims its 2016 Honda Civic cold air intake can boost your car upwards of 29 HP and 25 lb-ft of torque! With significant power gains showing up across the entire rev range, the Injen cold air intake system seems to really open up this turbocharged engine’s potential.

You can’t go wrong with an Injen cold air intake – especially one with these numbers!

2016 Honda Civic Turbo Short Ram Intake

Aside from its cold air intake, Injen also offers a 2016 Honda Civic short ram intake. Featuring Injen’s patented MR (Mega Ram) technology, the company claims it can allow the intake to be tuned within the factory air flow ratio, all while optimizing horsepower and torque gains. Similar to the cold air intake, the 2016 Honda Civic short ram intake boasts some impressive performance increases of up to 23 HP and 21 lb-ft of torque. Depending on your budget, the short ram intake can certainly be a great alternative to its cold air brethren for your turbo Civic.

Part Number

Injen SP1572 Short Ram Air Intake

Waiting for the Aftermarket Flood Gates to Open

As exciting as the new 2016 Honda Civic turbo appears to be, the possibility of further improving its performance is even more exhilarating. Injen seems to be kicking things off nicely with its offerings of basic bolt-on parts that are sure to be crowd pleasers. However, for our California brothers and sisters, none of these appear to be CARB approved just yet. But have no fear – the aftermarket product wave for this car is only beginning. It is still a Civic, after all – with a factory turbo, at that. For any Honda fan, this is what dreams are made of.
