Default TBE with cat, Cobb Tuning or APS?

As title states. I'm trying to decide between the two exhausts. I really like both and they are very similar save the APS turbo outlet which is semi devorced. I do not like the fact that the APS system has so many pieces that could end up leaking. Bisically its down to the risks involved with a many pieced system like the APS and the design of the outlet. In the future I may upgrade to a VF34 with supporting mods so that is being considered as well.

P.S. Does anyone have some inside information on a new exhaust that will be realeased after SEMA thats worth waiting for?

Thanks

Well they are both top notch... but the cobb may be a lot harder to get then you think. I belive some people are still waiting and have been for months.

Cobb wait for DP is 6-8 wks so you would need to wait 2months for TBE from Cobb.
