What exhaust to get

Hey all,
Trying to decide on a cat-back exhaust for the BRZ. Want something that's not TOO loud or drones, but still has a nice sound. Was suggested the Q300 or the N1, was also looking at the Perrin as well. Any thoughts?

Can't go wrong with N1, Perrin, and Borla

I can speak from experience that the N1 is tame enough if your JUST doing a catback. Once you start going further up the exhaust stream things get out of control quickly. I'm currently on the hunt for a tamer catback now that I'm catless with UELs.

I have Borla catback exhaust on my red FR-S and its sounds perfect, not too loud. I also have Injen catback on my white one and it's a bit too loud but it looks nice.

I'm the same way:

"Honey I got you something expensive... but technically it's still mine... so we're clear."
