Which catback? opinions please
I think it is time for a catback upgrade. I am looking for the followings with my completely stock exhaust from header to muffler. I am not changing anything else other than catback.
- not loud, no drone, but a mature growl even with JRSC
- I know it won't add any power, but let's say least restrictive, no performance loss
- lighter than stock, the lighter the better
- doesn't look like a ricer, attract much attention, looks stock
My research over so many months led me to the following options
- TRD catback
- Perrin 2.5 resonated
- HKS Hi-Power Spec L (Carbon tip)
Among all these, my favorite is HKS (light, high flow, mature sound) but my only concern is its kind of ricer look. I read in the forums that Perrin is not light, and a little restrictive. I am thinking that it might be a performance loss with my JRSC increased exhaust pressure. TRD catback is expensive, loudest of all, but looks stock. I am not sure how TRD will be affecting performance with JRSC.
Any feedback on the followings:
- Is HKS looking too much of a ricer?
- Will Perrin be a performance handicap because of my increased exhaust pressure?
- How TRD will sound with JRSC? Will it be performance loss as well?
- Any other suggestions?
