Default Best Cat Back & CAI systems?

Looking to increase the breathing of my new 2011 Unlimited Rubicon.
What catback is the best bang for the $? Dont want an off road system, just more growl, but not too loud with droaning.

Any advatages to any CAI's over the others?

The Magnaflow all stainless cat back is fantastic looking and sounding. There is no drone at highway speeds and sounds nice and mellow. There is no popping or tin can sound like a chambered muffler might give you. Airaid is a great cai and their service is topnotch. I just installed their system and a corner on the heatshield was bent. No biggie. I shot them an email asking if they thought that area might rust since the paint was chipped. They asked for a picture of the chip and then replied with a new heatshield shipped to me in 4 days.

I would go with a cat back and not just a muffler. The crimp or bend in the stock mid pipe over the rear axle is restrictive. The Magnaflow one that is included in the kit is not. You will get what you pay for.

Another great option is the Dynomax Catback System.

HP Gain of about 13

Sounds great but not over the top as well.
Good luck on your purchase!
