Downpipe - Which one?

Hey guys,

I am once again in the market for a downpipe and need a little help in choosing which one to buy... I orginally had a PDE 3" catless and loved it! Then I went to a full Vishnu non-signature turboback with another 3" catless downpipe. My next setup is goign to require another 3" catless DP, but I can't decide between several and I need your help! Which downpipe out of the following list is the overall best (in gains, construction, quality, etc)? I'd like to spend less than $300 on the downpipe (don't mind buying it used).

- Helix
- PDE
- Perrin
- B&B

BTW, feel free to add another DP to the list with comments...

Lowball has the 3" Perrin catless DP along with the Perrin catback. PM him for his review. His car runs great (smells a little funny with no cats) and is very loud. I always have to pass him on the track because I can't hear myself think when I'm behind him.

Would strongly recommend the Perrin. Good quality and it has the divorced wastegate section. A little pricey, at around 4 bills though...
