from the new perrin dp. 
the hush sounded great on stage 1 but man, it's killing me right now on stage 2.
i'm thinking about putting the stock exhaust on it's so loud.
what do you guys think?

Are you in an STI? The vf39 turbo's need to port the wastegate to function optimally with a catless setup. I run a titek high flow catted downpipe with a vf34 and make over 270 to the wheels, which is pretty good for catted. The titeks are cheap, and built VERY well.

^^ actually swapping downpipes with someone, helix catted.
after i get it all sorted out, whether i hit fuel cut or not, i will probably get tuned by paul at dbtuned. hopefully a tune will fix it all and i won't need to port my wastegate.
i just can't wait to be able to enjoy stage 2 like everyone else...
for the past 3 weeks or so i've been laying off the pedal so i don't hit it, haha. much better gas mileage!

in the process of trading my dp for a helix catted... then there's also the catted titek one for sale in the bay area.
i can't freaking wait until i can enjoy a protune from paul.

i don't know what it is but the catted helix and hush is still too loud for my liking. i'm thinking the helix with my stocker should be just about right.
