I bought those flaps too because I got wider rims and know my paint is going to get messed up. But they are sitting on my desk for 6 months, I can't get used to the look so I haven't install them yet ^_^

Nice car

Thanks all for the comments! #87 save yourself before your paint gets dinged, i've gotten used to them since buying them and they've grown on me, well worth it! Also makes my car stand out, haven't seen any other BRZ's or FRS's with them on yet in the area.

Been a while since i've updated but I've gotten my windows tinted since yesterday and am still waiting on my perrin catback to be delivered. There's a back log of them being ordered, got mine powder coated black though. I'll be sure to get some pictures up for the install and personal review Last update was 3 more weeks, after a initial 2 week wait

I'll need to join that facebook group then Unleashed, been really busy with work and haven't seen any updates on the posts here for the Vegas area, explains why now lol.

This is strange. I bought my BRZ from Mark Miller. On October 10th. Same exact color and options. I also owned 2 sentras, but sold my Super Sentra when I bought the BRZ. The only thing I have installed is Grimmspeed hood strut kit. Got a few track days I'm going to in April as well.

I'll start a build thread when I actually get to modifying it... but I'm weary because my hpfp is chirping pretty good and I don't want them to deny fixing it for whatever reason...

Car looks good!

Hey thanks for the comments! Yeah you should start up a journal, it helps me track the things i'm doing/done to the car I loved Mark Miller, they were great and SOOO much better then my local dealer here. Would gladly do buisness again!

I love my Sentra, it was the car that broke my modding cherry lol. I haven't brought myself to sell it yet, i've taken great care of the car, but i hardly drive her anymore. My wife uses it as her daily now though, so its not rotting away at least

My car is chirping as well and has been for a while, i think it started around 700 miles, i'm just waiting on a solid fix before i mess with it. I'm not worried about any of the mods that i've done or are doing voiding the warranty on the pump. Depending on what you are doing to the car you should be safe to

Let me know how you like it and if it's worth it. I really wanted to get the Perrin intake and exhaust with a tune for starters. Couple that with wheels and suspension later this summer. But I have to start somewhere!

Let me know what you think. I am stuck between resonated and non-resonated. I want good rumble and sound, but not be looked at like a ricer or some douche with a super loud exhaust.

This is why I went with resonated. The plan down the road is full header back so a resonated was out of the question.

I ordered with Mike@CZP as well. Cannot wait to get my exhuast in. He has a VERY GOOD deal going on right now. It was between the Invidia Q300 Stainless and this exhaust. I figured with the extra money I was getting the exhaust I REALLY wanted and the sound I grew to love in Youtube videos.

I got it installed today and it's awesome! I'm so glad i went with the black, it fits and blends in very nicely! Perrin's quality is evident in their product!

Well if you get this exhaust and it's resonated no one will be looking at you like a douche, for sure! It's pretty much just as quiet as stock but has a nice rumble/growl to it on start up. It also gets deep sounding when you push on the gas, not just taps though, actually getting on it. Really though, it's not louder then stock much at all. I plan on getting a catless front pipe down the road so this should be perfect. I would say if you plan on just doing a cat back, get un-resonated. I really can't see it being much louder then what i have now. Compared to the Invidia i had on my STI this thing is a mouse in comparison, not sure if it's the same on the BRZ but i'm pretty sure that is what Invidia goes for.

I'm also sure the tune of the exhuast will change as carbon builds up in it. I am extremly happy with the exhuast though, nice and quiet. The install was cake, any DIY'er should be able to handle this, my only snag was on the little adapters that go on the end of the exhuast hangers. I've seen someone else post about it but they seem to not like the exhuast being powder coated. They go on really really tight, took some friendly persuasion to install. I also had the issue of one side of the pipe sticking out a little bit more then the other side, I haven't fixed it yet but saw how it would work playing with the connections, just got lazy and finished it how it stands.

Khazzy is right, i would buy from Mike before the deal is gone, much cheaper then from Perrin's site and he was very nice to deal with, VERY fast shipping once Perrin got it done!

Didn't take any pictures today but i'll be sure to get around to it and post them up here ASAP!
