Question Which yeilds better performance and deal?

I have been poking around for prices to replace my exhaust and I've boiled down to 2.

On one hand, I have the APEXi N1 dual for $1020 CDN (just catback).

On the other hand, an exhaust shop is willing to build me a full 2 1/2 inch stainless steel exhaust (RB header/pre silencer, muffler) for $1200 CDN. (but it's single, want to retain dual look)

Which system would yeild a better performance and are the difference signficant?

I just had the front section of the exhaust done (downpipe with high flow cats), that's why I am lingering on the decision because I don't want to replace them.

Please advice.....

Thanks

Well the full exhaust will yield better results, cause it'll have header, and mufflers, etc...but you already have a downpipe and hiflo cats, so the difference won't be THAT much...I personally love the dual look too, and refuse to change that. Out of those 2 options I'd go with the N1 Dual...although personally if I were you I'd get the headers, and then get another dual catback...the N1 is one the most expensive, you can get headers AND a catback for cheaper than $1020.

Thanks for the comment. The prices are in canadian funds.
so 1200 CDN = 769 US
and 1020 CDN = 653 US

Those prices are taxed and installed. So it's actually the cheapest N1 I can find around.
