Sell it and buy a Perrin resonated. Loud at cold start but nice low rumble after than and loud when it needs to be.

Both are quiet. The q300 almost sounds stock on an otherwise stock system

You can also try putting in a High Flow Cat Front Pipe. It will make it sound a little deeper. That would be the cheapest and easiest route.

Not legal in CA. OP said they want to stay legal and retain factory cats

Both cats? I understand the one in the header is required, but what about the one in the FP?

You cannot remove or modify ANY factory cat in CA unless it is deemed defective by a certified shop. And then it can only be replaced by a CA approved cat, which means even then high flows are illegal

Have a look at the Corsa catback. I had one with the stock header/op/fp for a while and it is one of the best sounding catback systems for the 86. Corsa designs very high quality systems and this one is no exception.

Fairly deep and rumbly at low rpm. When you go WOT it has a nice exotic tone to it. Definitely not the cheapest option, but then again, neither is Perrin.

JackieMoon86 · 01-10-2017, 04:04 PM

I have the GReddy Supreme SP and I absolutely love it. Its not obnoxiously loud or raspy and sounds amazing. Has a nice rumble to it as well. You can still hear it inside the cabin and still be able to have normal conversation. I have a video of a coldstart on my IG feed. Username is jcks.frs86.

I have the supreme SP. It is quiet, but I have uel, so I hear rumble louder than exhaust sound.
It has 4.5 inch exhaust tip and looks nice too.

Definitely thinking about the Perrin, it sounds good, probably would go the used route again as it's cheaper and pretty hard to mess up a bolt on exhaust (knock on wood) ... looks like we now have a place to discuss quiet exhausts 😩

If you were in the north east I'd gladly trade you my Injen SES 3" exhaust lol. Sounds great but drones a bit while cruising and I've grown tired of being so loud

jasonojordan · 01-11-2017, 09:22 AM

Namless makes a solid exhaust as well but they are on the spendy end new and hard to find used.

Lunatic · 01-11-2017, 01:30 PM

Well I hope it's to quiet for me as I'm putting one on tomorrow with the HKS dual resonated front pipe, trying for max quiet with out a cat. I'm also running Top Speed header and over pipe, Catless.
