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!!

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

I need more information on this comment!!

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.

Thanks for input @Clipdat

perrin is good! my only complain is the tips never aligns.

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!

:thumbup:

GREDDY EVO 3.... I might go to the dublin meet and greet you can come for a ride along if you like.

I will wait til order after Dublin to hear/see everyone's... That sounds great @FRS_Jack ;)

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:

I am going to take the stock silencer and cut the tube and plasma well a bigger tube less drone more boom... Haven't had time to do it yet... I'll let you know how it goes...


Does your exhaust rattle your entire trunk... I removed my third break light because it was that bad..... Ended up dynomatt the whole trunk it was good at first now it rattles again....

Oh yeah, mine vibrates a lot and is super boomey and resonates like crazy on deceleration.

But I like it.... because racecar!

Is that an Greddy Evo 3? It doesnt look like mine...

Nope, it's just another take on a split/Y pipe dual canister design, its not a Greddy.

Although I wouldn't mind having the Greddy. And you better believe I would never run the silencers in that bad boy :D

Sorry @BRZkitty for derailing your thread!

Here's another single canister system you should look at if you like the Perrin: http://www.millteksport.com/features...m#.UmaopxAnWkw

*fixed

All lies. It's probably a bit louder on your car than mine though. I'm still looking for something slightly louder than the perrin resonated but much quieter than the EVO3. No clue yet.

I might have to come down to the dublin meet and hear some exhausts as well for future purchase. I was only able to hear the Evo3 this weekend (forgot who's it was).

We should just have a meet for reving our cars to hear your exhaust set ups. Lol

Lol. Not a bad ideal.:thumbup:

I have the Ark Grip.

I loved my Perrin, it's a quality piece and the easiest exhaust I've ever installed. The way they designed the hangers and the v-band clamps makes it very easy to install.

I have to admit though, that the sound wasn't racecar enough for me, even with the unresonated one. Initial startup after install had me going.. meh. The first time I was actually pleased with my exhaust setup was after I had sold the Perrin and threw on a muffler delete. Cheap, light, loud, and had a great growl even with everything else stock.

That said, I wonder what a resonated Perrin with aftermarket FP/OP and headers would sound like. If you see yourself going down that path eventually, I'd get the resonated Perrin.

Next Dublin meet yall!!!!

How is it?

My plan exactly. I got a catted FP and the OP should be in by this afternoon.

When/where are you gonna install them? Gonna try yourself? Also we demand a sound clip once you do have them installed. I have a shotgun mic and DSLR if you'd like to use that (what I used on my UELs video)

If only you were closer to the Sacramento area. I have a resonated headerback (w/ OP and FP) system.

Once I can source a whiteline shift bushing and a Perrin Rear Trans mount I'll do the install. I figured I should get those in while the FP is out. Although I've heard of overpipe install issues, I plan on doing this at home myself. I'd be down to meet up if you want to shoot video and take sound clips. I have no ability to edit any media.

agreed someone set it up, preferably somewhere with excellent acoustics

It has a deep tone. Quiet not loud. I guess the way I have it set up for now.

We have a Injen exhaust on a BR-Z every weekday in Mountain View near Castro if anyone wants hear how it sounds.

[QUOTE=Clipdat;1285739]Sorry @BRZkitty for derailing your thread!

@Clipdat What have you done!! :paddle: lol

I'm from Sacramento, next time you're out at a meet or something let me know I wanna hear it. I've been wanting a Perrin exhaust but I hate overly loud exhausts and I do not want to make my ride louder than it already is.

Does anyone in Hayward or around the area have a resonated Perrin catback without any other mods? Would love to hear this because I've been debating for the longest if this is the exhaust for me.

@JohnAyySays

I've got it and if you want to hear it, you're welcome to come to Saratoga Friday around 11pm and you can hear it and drive with us.

@Cjymiller dammit got work till 1130 that day D: You guys doing any other drives this week?

No plans at this time.

I have the resonated Perrin cat-back, but with nameless catted downpipe w resonator.
