Default Kenta's Invidia Q300 install

Just the before and after for now

BEFORE:


AFTER:




Still getting used to actually being able to hear my exhaust. It smells a bit and smoked like a sob last night after a 5 mile stint on the highway. I had read that some Invidia's smoke at first because of oils on a parts... but damn, I thought my car was on-fire to the point where I pulled over to make sure After that it was fine and it's very deep sounding but not very loud. Install was a breeze... well with the right tools More on that later.

Not sure how to compare it to other Invidia's as the only one I think I've heard is Jeff's (Didn't you have something done to yours?). It's quieter than the GReddy Ti-C and HKS but seems maybe just a tad louder than a Fujisubo. So far I like it, very deep sounding and not permanently-ear-damaging-loud.

I have the V1 but I had the OEM mid pipe installed to it so I could be more stock like Erick

seriously though, the mid-pipe and resonator did not lower the volume, it just shifted the drone range to a better spot in the RPMs. It is still ridiculously loud

It drones a little, but there are "sweet spots" where the car almost sound stock again. Like cruising around 2700 rpm it seems pretty quiet then I noticed when I got up into the 70mph range it wasn't much louder than stock. Next time we're at a meet your welcome to take the car for a spin and judge for yourself
