Im not too good with that sort of thing. I guess I promised a video clip. Ill try to find you the one I used to decide on it instead. I bought my exhaust from ft86speedfactory. They dont seem to carry the front pipe anymore though maybe you could ask them personally if they could find one for you. All I can say is, I drive with my windows down as often as I can. It sounds very nice. Oh and cops dont even look at me when I drive by which is a plus in my eyes.

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9jGtvmtflA"]Perrin Performance Over Pipe and Front Pipe - Unboxing, Install and Review - 2013 Subaru BRZ - YouTube[/ame] sounds almost identical to that. depending on your volume level of course. The part where they have a camera attached to the rear bumper is not very indicative of what it sounds like in person however (very boomy). Once he starts moving it sounds pretty similar. It sounds very nice in person. If you have any more questions please ask

Ah thank you! Reason why i wanted a video from you was cause other cars on youtube always have a different combo. If ya can if not its alright lol. Yeah ima hav to ask around for a front pipe before they all gone. after you installed the front/over pipes did you feel a difference?

Well I definitely felt and heard a difference, although I did the whole package at one time(overpipe, catted frontpipe, res'd midpipe and cat back). Compared to stock its an incredible sound obviously and it feels like there is a bit of an increase in HP/TQ although I dont have dyno proof. If you have everything but the front pipe, check how it sounds with the video I gave you. If its similar already the front pipe might not change it much. The video is a good representation of what it sounds like in real life.

Settled for SPC LCA's, if I need better ones down the road I can get them :P. Might as well save some cash for the time being.

Also updated the future upgrades in the OP. Take a look and comment. Thanks!

Since I saved so much on the LCAs and the coilovers I figured I could get a few other things along with them. I'm thinking the full lip kit and shift knob/reverse lockout OR Toms tail lights and Winjet Headlights.

By the way, the coilovers and LCAs should be here by the end of the week. It might take a week or 2 for me to get around to putting them on. I have to arrange a time to use the lift again. (might be moving pretty soon and it has enough room for a lift DDDD) cant wait!

Anyways, help me decide which upgrades to do next. both are about 800. Maybe if I wait a month or 2 I will just do both upgrades at the same time.

[dkx64]

Just went crazy and bought a whole bunch of things on my list with all the money I saved on the suspension. Cant wait to put it all on! Will definitely take some pictures of everything soon!

Someone please help me decide on Toms red taillights or Valenti red/white taillights! Keep in mind, I'll be pairing it with the CSL Seibon trunk, paint matched in whiteout

I don't think you'll be disappointed either way. Valenti's look best IMO. Both very clean looking. Just my 2 cents

definitely havent heard anything else. Scares me a little bit, but then again, that didnt stop me from getting an aftermarket exhaust. technically any modification to exhaust is illegal in calfornia. :P
