Any idea when a proper tune will be available by either cobb or perrin. I know for a fact that perrin tuned maps are much more aggressive compared to cobb maps

Calling Captain Snooze's Assistant? Ecutek with Visconti's tune is also available. Shipping soon I think.

Ah.. pardon me. When I posted that I was thinking of the headers. I was thinking of the complete exhaust system. Sorry, yeah, I was not considering what was available now. Stupid one track mind.

5-9 whp gained for Perrin's catback, for $900. Lighter weight without resonator, same weight with resonator. Possible rasp without resonator? Resonator is a no cost option.
video of catback sound(i'm betting this is with resonator):

12whp gained with the Nameless downpipe/axleback combo, for $950. Lighter weight, and the option of adding on the overpipe section to drop another pound and maybe lessen restriction more if you're going for bigger power- add $100 for overpipe section. Made in the USA, by hand.

I just laid out the facts of the two systems, I think everyone is going to want something different out of their setup. No opinion at all in this post. I love both companies.

And how about Swift Racing Technologies? Super clean looking system and is in production.

Neziah · 08-13-2012, 11:43 AM

A lot of Apples VS Oranges comparisons going on here. LOL

The front end (Header/overpipe) is the where the only real power gains are. Axle and cat backs are mainly just for sound, very small gains, and you will get the same small gain no matter which of rear parts you replace.

Personally I like the Nameless system a little better, I like the sound a lot and the way it is made with the duals. I do like the Perrin sound a better than stock, not a big fan of the single muffler though.

I've been lucky enough to hear both systems in person. But, I am not getting anything until I get to hear the Nameless muffler delete axle back they are working on. Their Genesis muffler delete was awesome.

Edit ---
I do have to say I an a big fan of both of these companies.

I asked in the SRP thread about weight/dyno numbers but haven't seen anything, same with Accelerated. Both of those look like quality products as well.

I for one race my car in stock autocross class so I can't replace any of the cats in the car, main reason I'm only looking at catbacks/axlebacks.

Perrin was able to get decent gains with replacing the midpipe, when I inquired about it they said it was very repeatable and they saw it both in the beginning of their testing as well as with the production catback.

I am also waiting for a little bit to see what others come out with, there are a ton of companies building exhausts for the car.

Great... I was more or less settled on getting Perrin's Cat, Over, and Front... but then I found this thread and did a little digging.

The decision has not come to me and I'm struggling to make a decision.

Ideas on the following?
Perrin Cat, Over, and Front
SRT Full Exhaust
Nameless Axleback & High Flow Cat

I know the thread has been dead a while, but I really didn't want to create a new one when this one seemed perfectly viable.

Suggestions and insight would be very much appreciated.

Thank you!

I think the SRT sounds seriously amazing in the videos, but it's probably too loud for me. I'd like to hear a car with the larger resonator in person. The poor communication seen in the thread make me unsure. Gotta love than sound though.

Nameless sounds good, I like the tone, but the tapering off at higher rpm is a little bit of a turn off. I imagine that would attract less attention when you're misbehaving. Could be a good point if you want be a discrete holigan.

I'm kinda leaning toward Perrin. I like the tone, volume level, transparency and history with Subarus.

rainmonkey · 10-09-2012, 08:39 PM

The reasons I'm leaning towards perrin are:
1. Friend recommended perrin as a brand - high quality, long history with subaru.
2. I think the finish looks incredible, I'm not a fan of chrome/super shiny or polished stuff. I prefer to be low key. I'd get the black finish but I think that would stand out due to the rarity of seeing black exhausts.
3. I know this is stupid, but perrin's website seems the most... refined.
4. There's a wealth of videos on perrin's stuff plus, I feel like the resonated will give the extra bit I'm looking for without being loud (I like to lay low)
5. I think Perrin's developing a headers too, it'd be great to have everything uniform, headers, over, front, cat.

Granted Perrin seems a bit more expensive with their package running around 1.6k... Nameless goes for 1.1k if I recall correctly(though they don't have a mid or overpipe I think), and SRT is 1.3k.

Decisions decisions...damnit!

whitefrs · 10-09-2012, 08:40 PM

im still debating between these 2 systems
i like the sound of perrin but like the whp gain of nameless

driftartist · 10-09-2012, 08:47 PM

are u doing resonated or non resonated

driftartist · 10-09-2012, 08:58 PM

for me i want to go without the resonator mainly because i want the more aggressive sound and i know i wont be messing with the header and cats (i live in CA and i dont want to screw with smog laws) so a cat back will give me a decent enough gain and the best sound for what im looking for..plus it looks like an easier system to install and also looks very good (has a tasteful and mature appearance in my eyes). but i mean if you are looking for something with more gains and better weight reduction, maybe another brand would best suit you. im sure both are very good quality!
