Default Turbo back?

Any one have this type of exhaust? My wise old younger brother tells me a cat back for $700 is a waste of money since the only real noticable difference is the sound. I looked around the web last nite and couldn't even find a turbo back for sale. Your thoughts:

Unless you plan to go bigger turbo, I think cat back is a good enough difference.

Default All the info I have seen thus far leads to that conclusion....

many here have tried them and the vast majority say the turbo spools faster, then falls flat on its face. You really need a larger hairdryer to push enough air though all that space. The fact that his brother said that a cat-back exhaust will only give you sound is amusing as well. =)
