When you get an exhaust, your paying for name and sound. If you look up exhaust with the same design your going to get roughly the same gains give or take 1-2hp/tq i personally believe in the theory that things travel faster in a straight line so I personally would recommend the catback exhaust design vs the axle. thats a pretty hard bend when it reaches the axle back portion. I am also having a hard time finding actual info and not just claims. sucks but the car is still very new.

Good luck man. If you dont mind the axle back design check this one out if you havent already:

If you're purely interested in gains with a great tone I recommend berk cbe + hfc. From that combo they produce the highest gains with a stockish look and great clearance if you're planning on lowering it. Not to mention the combo together can be had for less than $2k, whereas other catbacks alone can begin at that price.

im actually intrested in a few exhaust that are harder to come by...of course there isnt much info on them and they cost an arm and a leg...like the power craft or the top secret

havent even heard of power craft...i would give half an arm for an exhaust but not all of both. that would be cool though cuz if its harder to come by then your car will be that much more unique

if you got it like that then do it if thats what you want but like you mentioned its so hard to find info on more uncommon parts and brands.
