Highest build quality cat-back?
 
The penny-saving process has been painfully slow.

I might go in for a cat-back exhaust system soon.

I like the TRD system on the basis that it's dealer-sanctioned, but I don't know where it is on the "build quality" index. I won't buy anything that's not made in Japan or USA from good stainless. I want nice TIG welds. I don't plan to ever go forced-induction. Not too concerned with power gains at the expense of sound quality. I HATE little Civics that sound like they're farting their way down the road.

My priorities in order of importance:

1) BUILD QUALITY.
2) SOUND QUALITY.
2) POWER GAINS.

Thanks for your help! :-)

My Perrin is bulletproof rock solid. No rust, no leaks, still looks brand new after more than a year on the car.

This poll suggets that you've actually seen each system in person? Since most of us haven't - it's really a poll as to which one we own or want to own I suppose. Keep that in mind. Happy with my greddy evo- esp for sound.

Power gains on cat back only? Mostly in your head. :)

I'd disregard power gains as whatever cat back you go for will give you more or less the same.

Sound is subjective, you'll have to watch some videos to give you a good idea.

All stainless steel exhausts will be more or less the same quality, given a few exceptions for certain brands (Milltek for one) That'd be worth looking into. Titanium items will naturally be the best quality you could get hold of.
