not to many people i know of on here have vibrant so i have no knowledge of what it sounds like or how good it is. most people having racing beat which is the best cat back system for our cars. but if you want to give the vibrant a change i say go for it and post how it is.
i dont like how it has 4 inch tip, that spells ricer to me.
the gas mileage should get better from this since it is freeing up the exhaust system which helps it breathe better in essence.
stainless steel is a better material and will last you longer than aluminized steel. i would recommend stainless since you live in jersey and will have to deal with winter weather.
other than that try using the search feature next time, its a big help!

yea they both are what they are called...if that makes sense lol. a cat back is a full exhaust from the catalytic converter back (2 different pieces) while a axel back exhaust is just is one piece with the muffler and is located near the rear axel. cat back is better because it is replacing more of the exhaust with large aftermarket pieces.
