Pros:

Very nice welds, high quality stainless, great finish, nice sound, perfect fit.
|
|
Cons:
|
none so far
|

Perfect fit! Great look and very mean/nice sound. Much louder than stock but not as loud as some systems. Car is catless so I'm sure this is part of the reason. With the wagon you can here the muffer with anything over 3000rpm when excelerating. When you let off the gas it's softer. Increase in NV is more than stock. If you have a daily and want a softer sound this may not work for you...but I love it! I also have STi engine and tranny mounts so this also contrubitues to the increase in NV.

looks great, sounds even better

Cons:

VERY loud and isn\'t girlfriend friendly
|

This exhaust is for those who want to almost look stock but sound VERY VERY loud. If you\'re catless, you\'ll be heard a block away.

Pros:
|
Well made. Came w/ all gaskets & hardware. Almost plug-n-play.
|
|
Cons:
|
Slight fitment at rear cat flange; bolt diameter too big & holes didn\'t line up well. A tad too loud.
|
|
Great kit and fairly easy to install. The intermidiate pipe-to-rear cat joint had minor issues; bolt holes didn\'t line up exactly & supplied bolt\'s diameter was too large, so I had to use the stock fasteners. Will replace with SS fasteners soon.
The sound is great, although the wife doesn\'t approve.

Pros:
|
Looks nearly stock at a glance, all SS construction is high quality and very pretty.
|
|
Cons:
|
Not recommended for people looking to be seen NOT heard.
|
|
The Twin Slash cut tips look sweet, and at a glance, surprisingly \"stock-ish.\"
The sound is a VERY SEXY rumble, and at WOT is EXTREMELY LOUD, but has a \"V8 type rumble.\"
Some say that it drones too much, but I really like the way it sounds, and sometimes I drive for days without ever turning on my radio, just to listen to the engine as I drive.

Fit. loud.

I love the sound of the exhaust but I think it\'s only a matter of time before johnny law nabs me. It sounds awesome. Pissed off even. I love it. Not so loud that it\'s annoying either. Really just screams when you get on it.
It\'s top notch constructions. Looks great. Tips are a bit long though.
Fitment is terrible. I have an 04 wagon and it was banging the crap out of the tunnel. I put a kartboy long hanger at the mid hanger and that seems to have solved the problem. But it was a *****.
On top of that I hate their hanger posts. They are beefy which is nice but very lazy if you ask me. Instead of using the stock style that are thinner with the wide tip to hold it in place. So you have to carve the crap out of the exhaust hangers to get them to fit.
So that\'s my main beef. the fit.
And the exhaust tips stick out farther than I\'d like. But it\'s built well and sounds awesome.

Update_
had the exhaust on for a little while so I have updates.
Build is tough but it\'s starting to discolor. The tips are bronze colored already and I have all my cats...It doesn\'t get that hot. I can grab the tips after I drive. The welds are rusting up as well.
So I guess the only thing I\'m really stoked on is the sound. I think when money provides I\'ll be picking up an APS TBE.

Pros:

Awesome Quality build, full 3inch, has raspy V8 sound to it, looks stock
|
|
Cons:
|
loud as hell
|
|
I\'ve been wanting this exhaust for the longest time and when I had a chance to get for a cheap price. I said goodbye to my old exhaust and said hello to this one.
the quality built on this exhaust is so good and the welds are so pretty. The sound is straight up mean especially running catless.
I did notice some discoloration on top of the dual tips. I couldn\'t figure why it had happend but overall I am extremely happy with this exhaust

Pros:

nice sound, well manufactured
|

Cons:

minor install problem
|

Love the sound, but it is not for anyone who doesn\'t want to be heard. I am very happy with it.
Install was pretty straight forward except for one thing. The bolts sent by Perrin were too big to fit in the stock holes by the up-pipe. Easy enough to fix.
I recommend this to anyone who wants a very nice sounding exhaust and enjoys getting attention (good and bad).

This exhaust is incredibly loud but thats why you buy perrin. At our reno-fernley track day I would go by the flag stand and actualy shake the entire stand with the exhaust. Went very well mated to an invidia catless downpipe on my wrx.

A little loud for some

A great catback, well made, and everyone knows when I am coming from blocks away.
A great sound, but I did have to add Kartboy Extra-long hangers to keep my exhaust from getting carbon trailing on it. But other than that, a big amount of horsepower can be made with this catback !
