    Just got done putting an order in at RallySportDirect.com

    Perrin quad tip cat back exhaust
    Cobb downpipe
    Perrin crank pulley
    Kartboy shifter with bushings

    Emailed Nuke at NF Performance, i'm sure he'll set it up for me :)

    Can't wait!!!

    Oh yeah, i drove through 2 feet of snow on Thursday, my Ranger couldn't do that lol

    Just wondering why you didn't opt for a turbo back exhaust setup? I have a 2014 hatch and have been looking around at different exhaust setups

    That perrin he ordered could be a catback...then he would have a full TBE.., if not only the midpipe would be stock, which would actually help in terms of fitment.

    OP- if you did order a perrin catback (and not an axle back), you'll need a GrimmSpeed 2.5-3in adapter. That Cobb DP is 2.5 in. (stock size) on the back end.

    Everything will line up just fine :) The Perrin is a full cat back exhaust and the Cobb down works with a lot of different exhaust setups, it has an adapter built in from what RallySport has said.

    I am very excited to say the least!!

    I don't have a way to film the sounds of each exhaust because sadly my iPhone is acting up…

    But i will post my impressions on how they sound and what i felt via power before and after.

    I'll be dropping my car off at NF Performance around noon today :)

    Nuke set me up great but i think the shifter bushings need more grease or the rubber boot is pinched because i get chatter in 3.5.6 gears.

    But the sound….. Very loud compared to stock for sure but it is not obnoxious for daily driving (taking it easy). Did a few launches and man was that fun :) It just screams.

    Running smooth at 20psi.
