I can assume that if the Perrin DP (or any DP) has the same dimensions and flange as the stock DP and uses the OEM donut gasket then i don't see why it wouldn't
If you installed the Borla hush yourself then i assume you understand what im talking about.

Helix and Invidia downpipes can leak at the catback joint because they use flat flanges. You need to have an aftermarket flat flange catback to guarantee no leaks. I think some people have been lucky and was able to mate their stock catback to these downpipes. I have a Helix and it leaks at that joint.

A decent muffler or exhaust fabrication shop should be able to adapt a flat flange to a factory 'donut'-type catback. A good shop should also be able to weld in a low-restriction resonator into an aftermarket mid-pipe if the sound was too loud for the owner. I may end up doing that in the future.

Perrin TB
I have the full Perrin Turbo Back system. It's sick! Sounds very mean and has that dual tip stock look which I love.
As far as fit goes...I had a Stromung 3" cat-back system and it didn't fit very well with the Perrin DP. The Stromung rear exhaust pipe flange was closer to the stock set up. It kinda reduced down right at the end and then they just welded a 3" type flange that looked like the stock one just larger. They said it was so that it would work with a stock DP. And that they didn't make there cat-back system to work with any other DP other than Stromung or stock OEM.
Anyway, I switched to the Perrin and all is now good. So depending on which cat-back system you are using it may or may not work with the Perrin DP. Perrin says that their DP works with stock by switching around the donut gasket that is on the stock set up. This I never tried but may give it a try if I get tired of the Perrin cat-back for normal around town driving or if I get pulled over for being extremely to loud and with no cats.
Great quality and finish. More hp and faster turbo spool up time. Full 3" stainless steel with a great fit. Removes two cats.
