man the stock sounds so much louder in this video than it does in real life, at least for my 13 hatch, makes it hard to tell exactly how loud the Q300 is because it sounds louder than I want but it might just be the video

I have respect for people that respect their cars and don't treat them like shit. I didn't say your car would die form revving it before it warmed up once. It's people that constantly rip off right after they start the car that will have problems.

Thanks for the vid man. I believe this is the perfect exhaust. I've been looking at Cobbs and Magnaflows but I think Invidia makes the best ones for scoobies. Plus, in NJ, cops fucking hate wrx/sti drivers (especially WRBs) and will pick you out in seconds if you are too loud. This exhaust gives loudness when you are gunning it but in traffic (of which we have a shitload) and cruising it doesn't stand out. Perfection. Can't wait to buy one.

Thanks! Yea bro you will love it. Ive heard that if you get a down pipe itll be much louder. Just saving up, cause you need a tune for the down pipe.

@17etnies11 жыл бұрын
I wait 2 or 3 minutes then do 2k-2.5k shifts until it's heated up. Getting in any car and revving the piss out of it right after you start it isn't a good idea it doesnt matter if its a 3k car or 30k car. You might not break it but you definitely will decrease the life of it. I don't know what you've heard but neither the STI nor the WRX are rally cars. Roughing them around on the stock or OTS cobb tunes will not turn out well.

If you want to have some fun and not worry about the car get a protune and then your car is perfectly tuned for your specific engine not a generic cobb or stock tune. The engine will last longer, you will get better gas mileage, and a lot more power in the right places especially after a shift.

stock. I hope to go catless sometime with a tune and an intake, just depends if I can get the money. But I hear a catless dp makes it a lot louder. So that should be interesting. I mean its already pretty loud, outside that is, would be nice to hear it a bit more on the inside, but thats just my opinion. And still love it with stock dp.

I just installed this exhaust. I'm kinda disappointed because I thought it would be a lot louder based on the videos. I'm hoping a catted dp will make it significantly louder.
@maximilianboo10 жыл бұрын
Yea, the in cabin noise is not very loud but you still get a nice rumble when you give it some. But out side is much louder. If u get a chance have some one do a pull while you stand out side, its pretty loud. And I have heard the dp should make it fairly louder.
@drumline24910 жыл бұрын
***** From a drone standpoint, this exhaust probably gives you the loudest rumble from the outside with minimal drone on the inside. I've had my buddy drive it a few times and it sounds great under WOT, but shifting at 3k I would say you can barely hear it unless you're driving right next to it with your windows down and radio off. I would just like it a little louder personally. I'm relying on the downpipe to reach the level of loudness I'm hoping for.
@maximilianboo10 жыл бұрын
drumline249 yea im also looking to get a downpipe and tune for louder exhaust and more power. Catless is the way to go for sure. Remember that the q300 is probably one of the quieter exhausts for the wrx. If you want something louder then id suggest the invidia N1 race cat back. But personally I like the quad tip much more than the single cannon.
@EJL20046 жыл бұрын
damn it all. I'm at a loss at to wether to go for the Q300, R400 or Cobb exhaust on my 2011 Hatch. Heading down to Oregon this month, and getting a turbo back installed, just not sure which yet! >_< The 300 sounds a little raspier and snarlier than the 400 and I think I like that. I've heard that there can be drone on the Q300 though. Cobb is more expensive but sounds good and can't go wrong with it.
@maximilianboo6 жыл бұрын
cobb tapers to 2.5 inch I think so you will have to get the more expensive cobb downpipe if you are planning to go turbo back. I am currently running full Invidia tuboback exhaust with their catted downpipe. Sounds great, not too loud, but with the downpipe adds a little extra pop and crack and volume compared to catback alone. Really it just comes down to how much you want to spend. The R400 is made for 2015+ so it won't fit on our gen. I would suggest to look on craigslist down there, you might be able to find full invidia turbo back for good deal. I found my catted downpipe on craigslist for 350 instead of 550 new.

@17etnies11 жыл бұрын
I'd listen to Ben. It has nothing to do with the block it's the ring lands that are weak. If you start revving the piss out of it before your oil heats up and coats the engine then you add more stress to the ring lands. The stock tune is also quite bad. I suggest you go on iwsti.com or nasioc.com before you wreck your car.

@rshaibani099 жыл бұрын
I heard if it causes the problem they can deny the claim. Also did you get this exhaust and would you recommend it over others
@maximilianboo9 жыл бұрын
Rami Shaibani They can't prove that a cat back would cause the problem. Its just a cat back, technically the only difference between this one and the stock one is the diameter of piping, material, and the size of the tips. Nothing is added or taken away in terms of legal requirements. If you went with aftermarket down pipe in which the cat and other emission controls are changed and in which tuning is required then they can deny warranty. I love the exhaust, its a bit conservative (meaning it isn't the loudest). If your looking for louder then id recommend the n1, but i personally like the quad tip. If you are looking for louder quad tip than the q300, agency power makes a muffler-less cat back that looks identical to the q300, but muffler-less i believe isn't legal and that is pretty loud. Compared to the spt offered by subaru, I think the invidia q300 is far better in sound, looks, and price.
@rshaibani099 жыл бұрын
***** what do you think about the n1. The car is my daily driver but i want something i can notice.
@maximilianboo9 жыл бұрын
Rami Shaibani Personally, I don't like the look or sound of the n1. Yeah its louder and tip is bigger, but I'm not a fan of the single cannon exhaust look. The q300 is perfect for day to day driving, its definitely loud enough so that you can notice it inside. And out side it sounds great driving by, or in a tunnel. And if you want something a little louder, you could go with a carless down pipe (which you would need a tune, but you can expect some nice power gains), or with a muffler less catback. Whatever you choose will most likely sound great (along as u keep the unequal length headers). But as for how loud it is, or what it looks like, that is all personal preference.

@maximilianboo10 жыл бұрын
This is kinda late, but I just learned why mine does that. All Arizona sold cars are equipped with a flashing brake light. I purchased my car in Arizona and drove it back to California because there were no limited wrb wrx hatches in california at the time. And in my opinion if your going to buy this car or any performance car you will look for the exact one you want. But yea so all Arizona sold cars have this feature. But it is an easy feature to manipulate, you can simply buy (or make) a simple signal splicer that you can wire into your brake light. In theory it would just cut the signal 3 times before it would come on as a solid light.

@Ryan22733410 жыл бұрын
i have an 08 and it only has one slot for an for an exhaust on the right. I'm guessing the newer ones are different. All the exhausts that i find online are single exit for the hatch, but the sedans have dual or single options.
@maximilianboo10 жыл бұрын
Ryan Stephon Yea, the body style changed in 11. My gen WRX has a wider stance and same body style as an STI. The quad tip is standard on this gen. But 08-10 are different. Dual set up for sedan, and single for hatch. If I were you Id stick with parts specifically made for your car. If you wanted to however, you could get a quad tip, but you would need some custom bumper work. Go to rallysportdirect.com and put in your year and model. That way you will find all parts for your car.
