Someone just tell me which cat-back to get
 
Seriously, I keep flip flopping worse than a Presidential candidate. Right now I feel like I'm most likely to just order the Borla from AJUSA, but I keep looking at the Evo 3 and the SRT, which is the most expensive but is also local to me.

Ideally, I want to open up the flows just a bit, and deepen the exhaust note. Loudness isn't as important to me as the quality of the sound (quieter is probably better, but I ride a Ducati with extremely loud pipes to get the growl/roar that I like, so it's not like I'm that picky). Obviously want to avoid a drone.

Build construction and materials are high on the list, but I'm assuming that these 3 are all fairly comparable in quality?

Looks are also important. The Borla has the best-looking tips I think, just not sure how I feel about the single middle mounted muffler.

:bonk: Someone more decisive (and knowledgeable) than myself, tell me what to DO!

Ive heard the Nameless, SRT, Evo, and TRD and they all sound great. I have the TRD one and love it, not to loud and not silent. The EVO and SRT i think have the deepest sound, SRT would be the louder of the two IMO.

I'll probably go with the Perrin exhaust when I get around to it.

T1R 70R .. best sound and it's light to boot. Deep with a bit of rumble at low-mid RPM.

Much better looking and more unique design than most on the market. T1R's signature muffler and tip.

The EVO 3 drones...so I would probably stay away from that one given your request.

I too went back and forth a million times...its just kind of a guessing game honestly if you have never heard the exhaust in person. One person's opinion will vary from another.

I ended up ordering the ARK DT-S exhaust and I love it.

Sorry to thread jack but anyone know the quality of the Invidia N1? Videos on it seem great but don't want to be disappointed or have it too loud. 95 dB max here in NJ by law.

Loving my ARK exhaust. Highly recommend the grip with the test pipe. Sounds just right.

We have the Perrin non resonated cat back. Great tone, zero drone and not overwhelmingly loud. We can have a conversation in the car at any speed without raising our voices and I can hear the car perfectly well on track with a helmet on. Best of both worlds.

Borla is oldest name in the game. Invidia N1 seems like best deal Perrinn looks and sounds best to me on vids. Think as long as it does not drone into car on highway you'll be happy whatever you buy. The ARK is quite an impressive piece of design work but imho Anything over $900 is a waste. I would put the $500 saved into a Cusco suede steering wheel or put it towards some wheels and Pilot Super Sport tires.

Its so freaking ironic, you are asking "ok tell me which one to get
but you will get a million different answeres beacsue we all ahve our likes and opinions. It is really a decision you and only you can make.

Ok... I'll bite. Go with Nameless, and I'll tell you right now.. You Welcome :D

I say wait it out and be patient. See what's available in 2013, early 2013 if you can't wait which it seems like you really want to jump on it.

I bought mine on eBay for $580 and the quality seems top knotch. It is pretty damned loud, but I don't have another exhaust to compare it too in person, all I know is that my car is one of the loudest I hear on the road. haha Some people can't stand the droning after lifting off the accelerator, but it's quiet with no drone with the cruise control on at <70mph.

I've got the MXP coming tomorrow, check out the video here. Construction is first class from the results in DSport.

No Limit Motorsport has a great price and service also, they have one left in stock right now.

Kakimoto racing exhaust sounds bananas to me so is the price sadly....
