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 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.

Clipdat 10-22-2013 02:52 AM

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.

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!

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

BRZkitty 10-22-2013 01:03 PM

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

Clipdat 10-22-2013 01:03 PM

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....
