Another option for lightweight is @ft86SpeedFactory's V2 single exit. Won't be quite as drastic as the 60r, but it's still pretty substantial.

If going with the Borla UEL, and you daily drive the car, the Q300 or Perrin Resonated sound really good. Anything else is going to be pretty loud for daily commute, at least for my old ears.

I had a Tomei 60S for a month and loved it.
Then... my header/front pipe arrived and I instantly hated it.
Words cannot describe how loud, raspy and awful it sounded.
In the end it's up to you, but after waiting almost 12 weeks for my header, I took it back off after less than 8 miles.
It's that loud.

Jake has heard my car its not raspy his car on the othe hand is loud and the rest of his setup is stock if you plan on getting headers later on id go with the invidia

You could try the greedy sp elite which is 3lbs less than stock or nameless performance which is 12 lbs under stock. (it will be loud but not Tomei 60s loud)

well since the Q300 was almost 700 bucks i was left with no money for food the month that i ordered it, so i went into an "un-voluntary" diet loosing about 6lbs. so technically my car is now 5lbs lighter and i look better

win win situation lol

mokinbird87 · 02-25-2014, 01:20 PM

yea i think I`m going to go with the invidia's. the car is already light enough haha. sound and design is more important to me as I dont track my car every month. thanks for all the inputs guys.

Cant tell whats louder.. the crickets or the exhaust

I would suggest the Q300 over the 60r. You're going to get a lot of rasp and drone with the 60r, especially with it being titanium. Q300 will be able to control the header a lot better. Also, performance wise, the header is where you're going to see the most gains, whereas you might only see 3-4 whp difference between the Q300 and 60r.

This is what it sounds like with a header...
