Changed up my exhaust again....
I first had a nameless catback (see my other videos). Ultimately it got too loud and obnoxious.
Then I moved to a Q300.... too quiet...
Now to an R400 which is perfect... :)

Nice vid! I used to have the Q300 paired with the grimmspeed downpipe. Now i have the Tomei and it sounds soo good!

I just got a used 2020 STi and it came with what it seems to be a q300 judging by the big muffler cases and it sounds way raspier and deeper tone than this one. I love the sound!

That’s awesome! Maybe the previous owner moved the resonator? Regardless glad you love the new ride.

@@properbuild9748 probably I took it to the Subaru dealer to get it inspected but they must have not paid attention to that. Haven’t looked under really since it’s low but I’m gonna assume it is the resonator. I’m just happy it came with it and the sound is perfect for daily use!

Nice! I have 19' WRX and i went from a Nameless axleback with 4" mufflers to a Q300. Bought both of them used for great deals. Nameless was too loud, Q300 is too quiet.

@mrbeans2425 3 жыл бұрын

Currently have the Q300 installed I like it but about to switch to the R400. Like the sound better. I also have a hole in my flex pipe and they won't sell me just the mid pipe. Which sucks but gives me an excuse to slurge on the r400. If it wasn't I would just order the cat back set. But now I can't have to get the whole system. Q300 has a nice rumble to it though. R400 has a cleaner tighter look though. I'm def gonna make the switch I like the deeper sound on the r400 regret getting g the q300 a little. Mine had a small rattle aswell.

my q300 seems louder, what you running for downpipe? been thinking of getting a new exhaust but i picked up the q300 mad cheap used. I have a catless invidia dp so may be why mine seems a tad bit louder. I like that it is quiet and discreet when needed and can be get loud when you get on it. the N1 and the q400 are two im looking at next possibly.

I did Grimmspeed intake and DP with R400 and pro tune. Sounds gnarly but it is intolerable at highway speeds. Can anyone speak to the q300 at highway speeds? I've spent $300 on sound insulating the trunk and it did basically nothing. I'm worried I may have to get it retuned if I swap to the q300.
