Perrin vs Invidia N1

[CSI:86]

Which exhaust would yield more power? I love the sound of both but cannot decide on which to buy. I have been running on stock exhaust with Borla UEL headers for a long while now and need to change the catback.

Perrin has a bit more pronounced boxer rumble but sounds a bit more 'metallic' sounding.

Invidia sounds very bassy and deep but drones a bit on highway speeds.

Invidia has a more straight through design than Perrin.

I am happy with either exhausts, however have to choose so im leaving it to which yield more power?

Personally I'd go with the Perrin, just because N1 is way too loud for DD, Q300 is what I'll be going for though.

If noise is not a concern for you, I believe our 3" system will be the best option for what you are looking for.

When we put it on our Stage 1 car (tuned), it gained 2-3WHP more over our 2.5" system. With a full 3" setup that we offer, it gained 5-7WHP more than the 2.5".

We also offer a lifetime warranty on the catback as well!

I Back up Perrin on their superb quality and performance. Invidia is also a great exhaust system too.

It comes down to what is most important for you. Power, sounds, look, etc...

My biggest thing with both these systems is the following:

Perrin resonated is an outstanding system to keep things quiet even with a catless header. It's just very quiet.

Perrin non-resonated is great as a catback alone with no further upgrades. (Keeping stock header and front pipe)

Option 3 is what Perrin needs to add to the lineup. Another resonated setup, except cut the resonator size in half. This way you still get a fairly loud, very nice sounding tone. I think that would be an outstanding option on both 2.5" and 3" systems. It's a good middleman option between both systems for those torn between both and looking for a louder setup to run with an aftermarket header.

I'm currently running a 3" exhaust from Nameless and I've got dual resonators in the system and its still fairly loud, but not raspy at all.

Wouldn't 3 inch be too big and actually make you lose power especially in lower end revs? You would lose low end torque if you go 3 inch because our engines are only 2L NA

I don't believe that's true, but when I tune my car and put it on the dyno, I will let you know if it does or not. So far I don't feel any loss, but feel and actuality are two different things.
