TurboBack Challenge: Helix vs. Perrin vs. Greddy Ti

I have done research again and again and after so many hours I am still back at step 1. Looks is important-- so I have narrowed it down to Helix, Perrin, and perhaps a Ti exhaust. I want the most horsepower gain with the lowest weight but will not sacrifice looks for this. Between these products, which weighs less and which has the most horsepower gain while looking sexy all at once? Everyone has their own opinion but I just want a detailed description as to why you pick what you did. Hopefully this will narrow it down to 1 choice. Thanks!

Whoa, thanks I didn't know Helix is the 2'nd best power gainer. By any chance do you know the weight of these exhausts?

I'm in the same boat as you, but looks don't matter that much to me (any performance exhaust looks better than the stock). I would go with the titanium... in my opinion they look the best and save a good bit of weight. No matter which you decide on the power gains will be about the same. Well good luck with you decision. Let us know what you decided on. Personally I'm leaning towards the HKS hi power or Blitz Nur.

seems like you didnt do enough research

if you like the way this looks, and you want a kickass performance turboback exhaust at a good price then get BUSCHUR

FWIW, the Greddy Ti is only catback so you would have to purchase downpipe and test pipe/cat seperately. AFAIK, Greddy does not make a DP for the evo. Just some food for thought.

yeah i have the greddy and i love it....just went to turbotrix to get an xede installed and tuned, and for a stage 1 i made pretty good numbers, 311hp and 301tq....i didnt have a baseline done though, so i dont know how much the actual exhaust adds, but it sounded the best out of all the cars on the dyno IMO
