Mi Scusi, Anyone running Perrin or Borla Cat back?
Hilo 86 community!
I am in search of an exhaust, I have narrowed it down to either a perrin or borla cat back. IF anyone is running either, may I please sit in your carro or you can take me for a ride???? Listening to youtube vids does not do it justice. Possibly at the next Meet N Greet @ Dublin??? Thankies!! -Sandy |

Don't even waste your time looking into the Borla, just get the Perrin and call it a day.

I think the Perrin is the most common exhaust I've seen in the area (besides stock). You probably heard @Cjymiller's. It's super quiet and can be confused with the stock exhaust IMO.

Well, I just said that because it seems like you are trying to decide between two single canister, dual exit systems. Everything I've read/heard about the Perrin is that it's a well built high quality system with a good tone, without being obnoxious.
Maybe @overlookedx can chime in, I know he had the Perrin on his car for some time. I hadn't heard about the Perrin exhaust being mistaken for stock, I could clearly hear it the times I've been behind a twin with it installed. I have heard of the Invidia Q300 being mistaken as stock though, it really is very subtle. The Greddy SP Elite is also very subtle. So, I guess it really depends on what direction you are going in, but it's hard to beat the construction, tone, and looks of the Perrin.

The Borla has a weird sound to it. The Perrin is clean, commonly used, and decent. I've still got my FT86SpeedFactory resonated exhaust for sale.

The Borla was not bad... If I had one complaint it was that clearance between road and manifold was not much... We recently just put DC Sport Cat Back exhaust and will say I love the sound... Dual Canister style works very well...

To get the tips to align -
Loosen the two V bands on the S pipe, the connection to the mid pipe, and the connection to the muffler. Then twist the S pipe to move the muffler to the desired location, then retighten the V bands, and you are done! |

Hahah, Yeah I have a dual canister setup as well and it's very loud and proud.
Obviously with two mufflers you're going to have them resonating off/with each other and that generates a lot more sound for sure. Typically a deeper boomier tone, in my experience. Again, just depends on what direction you want to go in. Dual canisters definitely attract more attention. I love the way they look from behind on this car. In addition to the Greddy here's a few other dual canister designs: ARK DT-S: http://a248.e.akamai.net/origin-cdn.volusion.com/545uq.yxqp2/v/vspfiles/photos/SM1202-0213D-2.jpg?1359473442 ARK GRiP: http://a248.e.akamai.net/origin-cdn.volusion.com/545uq.yxqp2/v/vspfiles/photos/SM1202-0113G-2.jpg?1359723234 Injen SES: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/attac...1&d=1351474928 T1R Sparrow: http://cdn1.bigcommerce.com/server70....1280.1280.jpg
