I'm about to pull the trigger on the resonated catback myself. I absolutely LOVE the way it sounds and looks. Just hesitating likely in the same way as you. I KNOW I want it I just KNOW I'll regret (temporarily) shelling out the cash at this point in time.

Just Do it. I just installed my Perrin catback. Their quailty is great. The V-Band clamps works very well. I love the tips and its sound. Mellow when you cruse, zero drone, but a nice strong deep low tone when you step on it

I pulled the trigger on the Perrin catback unresonated. That's all I can squeeze for cash atm. I will get the front pipe and overpipe once I get my tax return.

Just ordered it.
Do you guys recommend wrapping the over pipe with header wrap? |

No need to wrap unless you're going turbo or you live in a really abrasive/dirty area where you're likely to see rust in a few months. |
