Invidia N1 Catback OR Perrin SS Non-Resonated

Hey all,

I really want an exhaust. I'm not sure which one, I've chosen two good ones that I love:

Invidia N1 Catback
OR
Perrin SS Non-Resonated

Opinions?

Any other exhaust mods?

The N1 is on the fairly loud side

I'd go with the N1 as well, but since there is drone during the 3K-4k's, I'd go with something else like an Ark catback or the M7 T-Titanium. They're costly but they sound great and don't drone! (These are all my opinions!)

Are you basing your exhaust on sound, style, performance, or cost?

If just between those 2 exhaust I would persuade you towards the Perrin because I like the way it looks more.

Get the N1! Had it for 1,000 miles and it's well worth the money since it's a bit cheaper. It's not loud as people say it is but that's just me haha

Which was louder, non-resonated w/stock header or resonated w/header?

Thanks. I'm thinking of getting a Borla UEL + resonated midpipe setup, but don't want it that much louder than my current non-resonated stock header setup.

I'm basing it on sound and cost :P Except cost isn't really a problem

go invidia n1

i must say that invidia made a fantastic product.

i have had my exhaust for over a year now and there is no rusting or rust spot issues what so ever on the exhaust canisters, or piping or tips.. fantastic sound and value for the price!!
