catback or axel back - Page 4 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

the thing that is so hard on making the decison is i can get an invida n1 titanium exhaust and a non resonated invida front pipe plus installation for 760$ or i can get the perrin but if i was to go the resonated route it would cost 743$ alone for the exhaust so the settup would be around 945-980$ in terms of money and sound should i do the first setup or go with the resonated perrin with a invida non resonated front pipe

take the money out of the equation... if you go the cheaper route because its "cheaper", you will have regrets and not like the sound or performance gains and wind up spending more money to get what you really want...

You have to pay to play, that's the way it goes, quality and performance come at a price..
Buy it right, Do it right, do it once... that's my motto anyway..

great way to save money, do your own installs whenever possible. Its also a great way to learn about your car..

That's how I learned to install coilovers, LCA's, headers, and exhaust. This is an outstanding car to learn on with so many mods available. You get a great sense of accomplishment when its done knowing you did it, spent no extra money, and then get to enjoy the upgrade.

Forget the cat-back or axel-back...get a new header, front-pipe and a tune. More gains for the bucks.

Perrin Handsdown! I love my catback system (resonated) I also have an invidia catless front pipe too. Sounds great!

ramiram1984 · 11-21-2013, 04:51 PM

I concur ^^

Fakm · 11-21-2013, 05:15 PM

Perrin!

Anthony7515 · 11-21-2013, 07:08 PM

So a Perrin resonated and invida non resonated front pipe would sound dope compared to the invida n1 with the front pipe

akahenry · 11-21-2013, 07:23 PM

Just to throw my opinion in here, I would go with Perrin between the two given options. Personally, I'm going with a M7 T-Titanium Catback because of it's "jdm-ness," quality, and sound. I personally think it's one of the best sounding catbacks in the market, along with the Ark Catbacks. If I choose to go with a turbo down the road, the M7 would be a great platform to do so, in my opinion. The M7 is quite expensive but like what a previous user said, "you pay to play" and this certainly dictates how you treat your car. Quality over price. Sound wise, Invidia N1 sounds amazing but it does drone @ 2500 rpm (highway speeds) and Perrin exhausts sound great with an unresonated front pipe. Just my opinion

Anthony7515 · 11-21-2013, 08:46 PM

yeah man im down to 2 I'm still considering the invida n1 and front pipe and the perrin non resonated with the resonated front pipe with the invida i wont lose power at all right because i watched a video and it looked like it took forever to rev up and i currently just have an injen intake and it revs up much faster
