There's no reason to buy an axle back exhaust (like the MPE) except to make it sound more aggressive. The tiny amount of performance gains is not worth the coin. For me the stock exhaust was too quiet and I didn't want to mess with the downpipe (yet).
I got a quote for the MPE of $1713.50 + GST and the chrome tips $180 + GST
Are you saying I should give the MPE a miss and just get an Evolution Racewerks (ER) 4″ Downpipe. That way I get increased performance and a louder exhaust? As for budget around 2K is what Im thinking
Think the question is 1) do you want performance gain? Or 2) do you want a better sounding car?

Downpipe = better performance slightly better sound but stock resonators and muffler won't have the same affect. Plus drone.

Axle back exhaust = enhanced sound no performance gain at all

Catback exhaust = even better sound and slight performance gain

The problem with DP is you'll need to tune the car or else you'll get warning lights.
