Recommendation regarding exhaust and headers

Invidia also just released their Gemini R400 which is similar to mine.

I would love to hear how it sounds, I didn't have so much experience on this topics though so if you can and doesn't violate forum rules leave a link to the pieces you're buying as well, or send it to my PM so I can take the same in case I like it.

Thanks in advance

The n1 is most definitely louder. During idle you can hear the n1 and will most likely get you a fix it ticket without silencers.

The perrin only has the rasp during cold start up because it's unresonated.

I'm switching from my N1 to the Perrin, which is why I asked. I got so tired of the drone with the N1.

And I bought the resonated version.

This is the header I got and I would HIGHLY recommend it if you decide to get one. Top notch quality.

And it goes fine with the Perrin?

[Silver Cervy]

Any header goes with any exhaust. They aren't directly connected to each other. It's all about how each of them will change the sound.

Didn't Subaru go through great lengths of a total redesign of the 2017 intake and exhaust manifolds???...along with other engine modifications... (MT)

With this in mind why would there be a want or a need to swap? What possibly could have been done differently on an aftermarket system to add even more power?
Hasn't the ground work already been done for tuning and/or FI already????

And? How it sounds? It's good? Can you take a video and upload to Youtube so we can hear? What was the cost of all including labor and so on?

No. The same mods are needed to achieve roughly 100whp per litre.

I just got the car back today so I will try to upload a video as soon as I can.

I honestly can't believe how perfect it sounds. When off the throttle and in low rpm it's quiet and refined, but when you put your foot down it wakes up like a wild animal and sounds aggressive as hell. Smooth, burblely sound all the way through the range and it has no unwanted drone whatsoever. With these upgrades and the tune the car feels much more lively and responsive, not necessarily faster but you really feel the torque. Of course, this is the first day I've had the car like this so I'm probably a little emotionally biased about it.

Total cost for parts install and tune was $1,033. Worth every penny. That means that if you buy the exact same parts I have then you will spend over 2 grand on this one project so think it over.

I hope your happy. I swapped my resonator Perrin for the Invidia Q300. The Perrin just got way to load over a couple years time.
