Exhaust Purchase

[Wilson15]

Hi, im looking to purchase a new exhaust. Any shops you guys can recommend locally (GTA/Mississauga/Brampton ect..) for the best prices?
Looking to spend about $800, i already have a few exhausts in mind, but if you guys would like, id like to hear what you guys have and how your liking em so far.

Ill be looking to sell my JDM exhaust tips also when i get a new exhaust setup. They have about 1-2k km's on them, got them in October 2013 and the brz barely gets driven in the winter. So if your interested, just drop me a pm and ill let you know first when their available for sale, will be $130 OBO.

Thanks, Wilson

For that amount of $, I would go with a Perrin 2.5" non resonated. If you know how to jack up your car and use basic hand tools, you can install it yourself in less than an hour.

I don't live in Toronto so I can't suggest any shops

Garage16 for the Q300 or Greddy SP Elite. They seem to have the lowest prices.

Install at iGarage

Non-resonated exhaust drones like a bitch when cruising on the highway imho (have experience with Milltek both resonated and non-resonated on VW).

Driving a Porsche is plenty loud but it doesn't drone. Just sayin'

I'll take those tips off your hands if you're willing to ship them. Pm me if you are.

Currently only looking for local meetups, thanks

I love my Invidia Q300.... gives a really nice sound and installs perfectly, never had any problems. Sounds even better with the front pipe that you can get later on down the road if you wish!

+1
I also have the Q300. Its a little subtle but its nice when over 3k. Not overly loud too and doesn't sound like a fart can.

If it's a 911, it's partially because the exhaust doesn't run under the passenger cabin at all too.

A relative of mine has a 993 with a much louder exhaust than my Perrin 2.5" resonated, but at part throttle inside the car mine is actually louder. No drone on either, and the 993 is substantially louder from outside the car.

To the OP, if you want to hear a Perrin 2.5" resonated (with 2.5" catted front pipe) in person and you're in the GTA let me know and you can hear mine sometime.

I've driven my friend's stock 986 a few times, the sound is amazingly good (even better with the top down believe it or not) and quite loud behind the seats.

I just find droning quite annoying at cruising rpm with non-resonated exhausts where cranking up the radio will not fix.

[wparsons]

^^ Agreed on the droning, definitely not something you want in a car you drive anything resembling daily.

The SP is quiet on idle, but has an okay tone when gunning it. I loved it for what it was, but if you want that full grumble or that nice tone, then you want to go cat-back.
From a former SP elite owner.

Just got the STI Sports Muffler on the car. Can't believe how much more flush it fits than the stock one with JDM tips. The tone is much deeper now and it growls at a higher rpm than stock, so now if I drive by sound I'm actually driving 10 to 15km/h faster than before (with stock I was always below 60km/h on the road and people would tell me to GTFO).

Overall a little bit louder than the stock muffler, which is okay since the stock audio system sucks anyway!
