SP Elite vs Trd Exhaust vs Nameless 5in

??? Please explain ???

Think of the Greddy SP Elite like the stock exhaust hitting puberty.. Everything is bigger, and deeper.

Planning on keeping this car NA, probably with a flash tune down the line. Any issues with this exhaust if I decided to turbo down the line???

You'd probably want to go 3" when you install your turbo.

After listening to Greddy Evo 3 & Perrin this sounds too quiet and more like stock.. Maybe if I could get evo 3 with nicer tips. Or go Perrin with front pipe...
Leaning more toward Perrin...

I think I found my new exhaust config:

He needs a suspension 'config' asap, but yea his exhaust sounds nice.

I personally prefer the Greddy SP Elite w/ a Nameless or HKS catless Front/Over Pipe & Catted Stock Header or Greddy SP Elite w/ Namless or HKS Catted front/over pipe / Aftermarket uncatted EL Headers

I currently use a Greddy SP Elite w/ a resonated catless Nameless Front/OP combo and stock headers. If I get headers I probably would get a catted front/op and catted headers since I dont like rasp and would rather give up some hp for less drone/rasp. I dont like an obnoxiously loud exhaust.

Nameless and other companies have already said that the mid pipe doesnt get any gains and wasnt worth the extra cost. I rather listen to them than a company like Works who claims gains on their system and uses worse materials.

I prefer a Q300/N1 against all of these because:

1. Aesthetics (mainly on Q300)
2. Cost (Both of these can be had for the price of some catbacks by themselves)
3. Q300 quiets down any loud header/front pipe combo out there.
4. N1 is probably one of the loudest non raspy combinations with a catless header that sound real good. Only downside is there is some highway drone, but not as bad as a stock header.

As for quality and using both the Invidia N1 and Q300, I can't say they are garbage at all. Welds look good for a robot TIG, and fitment is always spot on. They've been doing this for years on other cars.

I've been debating whether to go high flow cat or carless resonated on my front pipe (stock headers) to be paired with my resonated exhaust. How did you decide on carless vs HFC and do you have any bad smell or raspy tones from the carless?

I just installed the TRD this morning. Love the sound, super deep at start up and low RPMs. Not obnoxiously loud when you get on the gas, but more noticeable than stock. The muffler is about half the size/weight of the stocker. Install wasn't too bad.
