I went with the Titanium tips because I have an Ultramarine and I take my car to local shows. Q300 is a bit heavier though so if weight is a big factor for you, the Perrin may sway your decision.

Ehh, I don't think i'll care much about the weight as long as it's not dramatically slowing me down. I'm not too concern about shaving off a few pounds or anything. I do like the Q300 a bit more because of how it looks also, titanium tips are kinda nice but I'm not completely sold on them. The other one is nice and shiny so either way it'll look very nice. Perrin is more of a brushed metal look. Ahh i'll make my decision one day, until then i'll drool and wait until something that will really push me to purchase it.

I left my stock catback on for this exact reason. Pretty much got the same setup as you + a tune. Honestly, you're not losing that much HP/torque going back to the stock cat-back. Unless you're racing & trying to squeeze out every last bit of power in the higher RPM's, I doubt you'll notice any difference in daily driving.

Thank you Reeves, nothing beats experienced advice!

What some other people are saying Invidia Q300

tonystewart · 11-16-2013, 06:49 PM

Factory Catback reinstalled, quick test drive was positive, raining and traffic kept things from a proper test, waiting for daughter to return with report, will be data logging tomorrow (weather permitting).
The engine is now louder than the exhaust. I think it's the first time we've heard the FA20club EL header. LOL
Will keep all informed with results

My Q300 and catted front pipe show up early next week, but I'm waiting on JDL to make me an overpipe. This system is what the JDL UEL needs... lol. I love the header, but damn, it is LOUD.

tonystewart · 11-16-2013, 08:57 PM

After I installed the FA20club EL Header and Toni updated the tune for the header, I had to change my front pipe from a Perrin Catted Front Pipe to a Nameless Catted Front Pipe with Helmholtz resonator. The exhaust pulse from the header created such a racket under the car, rasp and drone, loud.
The car is a beast after that header install.

tonystewart · 11-18-2013, 04:21 PM

Data logging completed.
Toni@FA20Club updated the tune this morning, it runs great!
Daughter is happy!
The car needs exhaust tips badly, guess I shouldn't have sold them last month, lol.

What is a good cleaner/polisher for a Perrin Resonated Cat Back Exhaust?

Perrin's own resonated cat back exhaust cleaner and steel wool.
It works wonders

@tonystewart so both your daughter and you drive a 86?

Btw, my Nameless cat back with 5" mufflers was quiet untill I put the rest of the exhaust on. P&L catted headers, Perrin OP, Perrin catted FP. I think it's too loud but that's just me.

No, just my younger daughter, I'm only the mechanic, test driver, victim in the back seat

tonystewart · 11-18-2013, 08:26 PM

The header adds performance, but the noise, oh boy
