ok so im really torn between this, right now my muffler is blown and it drives me crazy driving down the highway, i know something happened because my car started droning at 2800rpm and it has a slight rattle(not really audible with radio on) and the thing is im one of those people who cant deal with drone(it physically messes with me, i get headaches, dizzy, ect.)

so my question is what should i do, get an axle back, and fix my problem now and later upgrade with AAM's Midpipe for a true dual 2.5in muffled exhaust, or should i save the money and get a full cat back system like Ark Grip v2 or FI?

both options end up costing about the same and both options give about the same power gains(the aam midpipe gave 22whp with the stock nismo muffler and FI and Ark gives about 20whp give or take) but if i went with the axle back option, i can get rid of the droning right away than upgrade the midpipe when i have the money, or i could have a full exhaust system but im going to have to deal with the droning for a while longer until i can afford to buy the exhaust
