It's funny how subjective these things can be. Like loudness and quality, I find this setup like my porridge, "just right."

If you listen to the FT86 test car, that's hardly an exhaust I would use on the street. Ever. It's louder than my Supra with high flow intake and UEL headers 3" turbo back!

I run the same Perrin/Berk exhaust and front pipe combo, but have the Perrin CAI and overpipe too.

It snarls when it needs to, sounds like a NA flat 4 should but on cruise there's zero drone just a very quiet burble. If you want stealthy, it obliges. If you want it to snarl when giving it some stick, it will oblige.

tl:dr loud does not necessarily mean good
