Perrin cans on stock set up w/ Sound clip!

[eldiablo]

The tone of the stock LGT has been properly termed as an "angry sewing machine".

 

Since I am currently happy with the acceleration of my stock set up (and nursing my powertrain warranty), I figured I would install some exhaust cans to make the sewing machine sound a little angrier.

 

Picked up some used Perrin axel-backs from wichitalegacy for a great price and here you have it.

 

Starting her up now puts a smile on my face, I love the low end burble. As expected the car feels faster though I'm sure it's not. I somehow feel more connected to the car now that I can hear it.

 

Also sounds meaner in a "cleaner" sounding way vs previous hogzaust stage 2 mod.

how much did u get those perrin cans for??

 

im also looking at axlebacks and im in the same situation as you... i was wondering if all i wanted was appearance and a meaner growl...should i just get 2 universal mufflers and get them welded on?

[eldiablo]

The perrin cans sell for between $300 - $400 used. JSC sells them new / shipped for $500. You sometimes find them pieced from a complete cat-back system that someone is parting out or doesn't want the cans.

 

I'm sure your local muffler shop can make it sound as mean as you want for around $250. Heck, they can even delete the mufflers altogether ala http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=54874&highlight=custom+exhaust.

 

Many have gone a custom magnaflow route like http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=48242&highlight=custom+exhaust

LOL! So far so good... maybe after I hit Stage 2 the car will hit puberty and both cans will drop.

hey eldiablo, where did you get your "Jinsu Stacked Oval Tail Tints"? I like how they look but can't find them.. they legal in good ol' jersey?

[eldiablo]

Got the tail tints here. http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10964

 

Seems legal in NJ. Been pulled over for other infractions and police never raised any concerns over the tail tints. DMV on the other hand may have a differerent take come inspection time. Dunno.
