If this is it, I'd rather not bash the car. Could you explain in more detail what you mean by this modification? |

My gf's wrx had a slight rattle on cold starts and it was the exhaust. Must shake more when its cold, lol.
People are blowing the "hitting" the car thing out of proportion. There was one spot and someone took an extended socket, placed it on the spot of contact, and hit it with a hammer to make a nice u bend. I really don't see the big deal in that. I must mess with cars too much LOL. You would NEVER see this spot, and its not like you are denting a square foot area under there. |

No I understand, but I think some are seeing it like you have to go under there with a 5lb mallot and hack away
The only downside is like you said, if you chip the paint, it will rust. It shouldn't have to be modified either way, the exhaust should fit without doing anything, but I don't think it is too big of a deal if ya had to. ABQ's suggestion about widening the bracket hole on the exhaust is also a good idea. |

------ After looking under there, the clearance really does look fine. I think I'm having more of a "vibration" than a "rattle". It sounds like it's coming from the rear window area...not sure. Last edited by Phaedrus29; 10-26-2012 at 06:37 PM. |

I just swapped to resonated a couple of days ago. If you are completely stock except for the catback, then the non-resonated is the way to go. As soon as you get a full headerback, throw in headers, FI, intake, etc - the non-resonated starts to get somewhat old. Nowhere near the level of GReddy Evo3, but still too much for prolonged driving.
Even the OP (who is banned under that account but has since resurfaced a few times) eventually went to resonated after getting headers. Alfalasy's video above is exactly the same experience I had between the two versions. On that note, I have a non-resonated 2.5" Perrin midpipe that is now available. I have it up for sale for $150 if anyone is interested. Also, anyone else notice that the Perrin V-Band Clamps are somewhat weak in the thread/nut? As I was removing the clamp, it started to get resistance halfway through the thread (even after spraying it with lube) and once I got it off I noticed that it wore out the thread in the middle. Fortunately, I was able to get it back on and past that point (the thread toward where it's secure was still fine). I'd expect this from $3 clamps, but these things retail for close to $30! |
