Rhino ramps. Got um a few years back at Advance Auto Parts. They are now called "Rhino Gear" ramps. About $50 a pair. Mine have the "Blitz" mfg. label on them but, I see where that company went bankrupt this past summer due to lawsuits regarding their gas cans. These ramps won't work on the front of Toyobarus unless you jack up the car each side and then stick a ramp under each front wheel (method I used to install the overpipe and jack standed the rear). Some ppl have devised wood blocks to pre-raise the vehicle (increasing clearance) before driving up on the ramps but, seems a bit risky unless you know what you are doing. You can back up on these all day long with no problems! These work good that way on the rear for just a cat back install. Hope this helps, I use them all the time on other vehicles too, and have been quite happy with them.

The perrin can moves air well, and you can hear that, and the baffling inside can be 'heard' at certain RPMS, I dont know how else to say it but the Perrin sounds like a subaru, and TRD sounds like,a Toyota.

Would you say, on a scale of 1-10, this would be the ordering in terms of loudness:

Stock: 1
Perrin Resonated: 2
TRD: 3
Nameless AB: 4
Perrin Non-Resonated: 5
SRT: 7
Agency Power: 7

I'm sorry but am I the only one who had a crappy dealership who knew literally ZERO about any aftermarket offerings for the FR-S? And yet you guys are able to walk in and order the TRD parts? I asked the Sales Manager, my Sales person and the Parts Manager but none of them knew anything. AVOID ST. Charles Toyota in Illinois.
