can't go wrong with the perrin pipes I'd say that's a good setup u have for exhaust. It'll be loud though.

I was planing on going all cat less but would it be best for me to use the Perrin Down pipe with the high flow cat instead of cat less?

Depends on what you want. If you want max power, I'd go catless. If you're concerned about the environment and want to be more eco friendly, go with the cat. But FL doesn't require emissions testing right?

No Florida doesn't require emissions testing so catless is the way then?

GO24JUNIOR - In theory it should fit, BUT not all cat backs will fit all downpipes. Sometimes you can get away with mix and matching exhaust pieces and not have any problems like exhaust leaks. But in my opinion if you want to keep it safe then just get all of one type exhaust and that way you are guaranteed to not have any fitment issues.

The Perrin full Turbo Back is a high quality system and you will get just as much HP when running catless as you will trying to mix and match the two pieces.

If you are interested in getting either set up then hit me up and I would be glad to take care of you!

Daredevil and mike626 on this thread can vouch for me on my rep on here!

Thanks,
Brian

GO24JUNIOR - Checked into it for you and one of my suppliers is actually running that exact set up now on his WRX with no problems! So that is cool!

For the Perrin Uppipe and Downpipe and the Apexi GT Spec Cat Back would be $1215 shipped!

To place an order, send funds through PayPal to autransam@earthlink.net and I will take care of the rest!

Let me know if you have any questions or if this works for you then I look forward to hearing from you!

Thanks,
Brian
