Cheapest price I've seen. I just hope anyone that gets this doesn't plan on upgrading past a front pipe.

Has that typically been an issue with folks running a Perrin system?

Turbo would be one exception. :thumbsup:

*LongFella 11-26-2013 03:36 PM

I just ordered the non-resonated one. Looks like my only option next is a turbo... Bummer 😁

Not just Perrin, any unresonated system starts getting raspy and nasty past the front pipe with a header/overpipe.

Makes sense! Still learning the FRS ropes... lol

jamesm 11-26-2013 03:49 PM

the 3" version i have is resonated. that probably helps as well. i think all of the 3" ones are.

Yeah, they are. I heard a 3" Perrin setup with a Borla header and it still had rasp. The piping size has a lot to do with it in that case just like my own system. The beefy resonator they use is pretty nice though to keep the volume reasonable.

*LongFella 11-26-2013 04:00 PM

I'm hoping its money well spent...

I have catted EL, Perrin OP and catted front, stock mid pipe with Nameless 5" axle back- still too lout! And it drones like hell at 35k. Really contemplating on putting the stock axle back back on.

:burnrubber:
35,000 RPMS! I want to know what else you have done.

I have PPE EL Header and OP, Berk catted front with rest stock and I get rasp, no drone though. I would have imagined the Nameless 5" would reduce the drone.

I gotz the turbo super charger, Nawwws, stage five chip and diamond plate floor boards.



Oops, 35k, I wish.... Imagine the sound that'd make.

FT-86 SpeedFactory 11-26-2013 11:33 PM

We have them for the same price.

Always go with resonated on a street car BTW guys.

I'm not sure I would use the word "always" when saying which one to go for. It really comes down to personal taste, right?

It really is personal opinion I think. I know a few people on here with a catless header and straight pipe. Is it crazy loud and raspy? Yes. Would I want that exhaust on my FRS? No. But they like it. The resonated version will be louder, especially if you end up running a catless header down the road. I would just see how you like it at first, and a resonator can always be added down the road if you think it is too much. Let me know if you have any other questions man. You will like it, its a great cat-back for sure!

I'm sure I'll like it. I like loud. I had a Porsche 996 with some cannon bombs for an exhaust set-up. It made your teeth rattle and fall out, but it was enjoyable to me 😁

jamesm 11-27-2013 10:56 AM

i think a lot of the rasp comes from the uel headers. the 'subaru rumble' is pretty much deep rasp to begin with. it's really noticeable side-by-side, but the uel's seem a lot louder and more abrasive regardless of which catback they're used with.

Haha! Then you will enjoy it:thumbsup: Can't wait to hear what you think!

To good to be true???
 
Finally installed it yesterday! I was traveling all last week... So far, I LOVE the sound. I'll post a vid at cold start up and a few revs today. I think this will be Ben better when I get FT-86 Speed Factory catted UEL headers.... hint, hint.... FT-86speedfactory.... When are you selling them!!!???!!!

*LongFella 12-08-2013 11:59 AM

Here's an iPhone sound clip. It needs to settle a bit, but I like the sound so far. It should ease in nicely after I put a few miles are on it...
