Which do guys prefer. I know nameless has flawless quality build. Compared to perrin, nameless comes of a tad bit pricey imo, but that another story. Perrin vs nameless in quality, wht u guys say.

The two system replace different parts. The Perrin is a catback exhaust, while Nameless replaces the axleback and the overpipe. The Nameless includes a high flow cat, the perrin does not (because it is catback , leaves the factory Cat). Just some things to ponder.

I think quality is top notch from both companies. I am getting Nameless because of sound, and HP numbers.

actually, nameless has 2 packages:

1. replace axle back, front pipe w/ high flow cat. i believe they call this the downpipe on their site.

2. replace axle back, front pipe w/ high flow cat, and overpipe.

nameless fabricates their exhausts in-house. i cannot speak for perrin however.

I would presume that replacing the cat would be more efficient than replacing the mid pipe like how perrin does it. Any advantages for replacing the stock over pipe with nameless performance over pipe. They seem to charge 100 dollars for the overpipe alone and i have not yet seen any dyno charts that include overpipe downpipe and axelback combo.

I'm not really a fan of the way the Nameless looks, too many bends and non symmetrical in appearance. I know its a quality system but i can't get over the looks of it. I don't think you can go wrong either way as far as function goes so it would come down to sound and looks for me.

according to nameless, the factory overpipe was designed to clear RHD components. since we have a LHD, nameless designed a 1 unit solution instead of the factory 1 overpipe + 1 downpipe solution.

i'm not sure if there are any added HP going to a nameless overpipe, but the stock overpipe doesn't look very pretty. :iono:

nameless said they didn't see any power increase when replacing the factory midpipe + nameless axle back, and their axle back by itself doesn't seem to produce any power either. on the other hand, i think perrin's catback by itself produces power. i find this odd. does anyone have a dynosheet of just the perrin catback system?

Absolutely correct. I didn't go into the details to keep the discussion simple since both NP offerings replace the Cat.

:happy0180:

The bends in the Nameless exhaust have an explanation. It is designed this way to keep the same run the OEM exhaust had, among other things. This type of engineering is the difference between a professional company and an around the corner shop. They actually engineered the system carefully considering power and sound. The runs, the mufflers and pipe diameters on the Nameless exhaust where carefully chosen to get the exact sound wanted; no rasp or drone.

I personally don't mind the way it looks since the only thing that will be seen are the beautifull tips.

who honestly looks under the car, as long as the tips look bad ass. Plus i prefer a functional exhaust rather than a good looking exhaust. Exhausts are not visible to anyone for them to judge if it looks good or not .

I don't really think you can say the Perrin isn't functional and we are all here to mod the car however we see fit i was just giving my opinion on the two exhausts in question.

anyone know the weight of the factory midpipe? i'm curious to know the weight differences between perrin and nameless.

nameless: factory midpipe + nameless axle back

factory midpipe: ?
axle back: 18lbs

vs

perrin: perrin catback 39.5 lbs
