I'm guessing you have the Perrin resonated?

Those are all more expensive. Yes they have more horsepower. So does a GT350R. So does a GTR. I don't think comparing more expensive vehicles in a dollar-to-dollar comparison is an apples-to-apples comparison, but whatever floats your boat.

Anyhoo, I think the comparison is off-topic to your original post. I mainly meant to chime in that if you're looking for more power and wanted to quiet it down, there are some things you can do.

And yes, I do have the Perrin, its a 2.5 system but for the life of me I can't recall if it's resonated or not. I had a TopSpeedAuto catback before that, and it sounded great but it was so loud that I received complaints.
