Recently got the axle back installed on the car. Minor drone is there when cruising. It has a nice deep sound to it.

even better if the sound is deep, i don't like raspy sound on cars especially on a luxury car, thats the main reason why im picking q300 over f sport exhaust other than the price. I think its the best choice for the price

I'm running the H version which is slightly louder. I initially had some drone at 2000 RPM (and only exactly 2000), but after putting miles on the exhaust, it went away. It's still there but it's so minimal, I could play music at a low volume and not know it's there.

I had the Invidia Q300 axle back for a few months on my IS350 F-sport. I have a drop in F-sport air filter and I can tell you that the interior drone is only ever so present in eco mode. It only seems to come on at low speeds at a certain rpm when you're putting a load on the engine when accelerating. It isn't constant unless you're driving at that certain rpm. Rarely does the car run at that rpm to deter me from buying it again. Drive it in sport mode and you'll never hear it droning.

Do you have just the q300 axle back? I just bought the axle back and the midpipe. I may just put axleback on first to see if its really loud or not...if its not that bad I may install the midpipe to go with it? If I like the axle back I may end up selling the midpipe if anyone is interested.

Am running the Q300 plus the Invidia Mid pipe on my IS200t, and honestly it only adds a bit of depth to the tone but almost no noise, also it does add a bit of a drone but that could be due to the downpipe's catalizer


I like it since it keeps low profile and same time gives the performance I am looking for

I have the axle back only. I've had it on for a year now and although sound is subjective but in terms of overall sound the q300 axle back is great sounding all around. WOT you'll hear it not extremely loud but you do clearly hear it with no drone. Mid acceleration is in the 30+ mph you can hear it and it ain't obnoxiously loud. You can drive it with the windows down and it won't overwhelm you. As a daily driver I would not want anything louder unless you really want it to be loud.

I have the full exhaust. And I love it! It has a deep throaty tone when you rev it up but you will never feel that it's too loud. Drone is present in eco mode while cruising at highway speeds but I've gotten used to it.

I'm a long time lurker of the forum but I felt compelled to register to comment here. Yesterday I had a q300-h axle back installed on my 2016 IS350 f sport. As MasonGrey mentioned, there's a drone at 2000 - 3000 rpms and in my opinion it's awful. You are instantly "that guy" on the road with the loud exhaust. Not something I was looking for, so if it doesn't change I'll be swapping it back to stock and selling it.

How does the Q300 compare to Joe Z axle back, in terms of sound? Has anyone compared them directly?

Thanks, Dan

Any aftermarket exhaust will have drone. And it drone LOUD

Sound wise, it is great when you are gunning it. but not so much when you are cruising

Would I do it again? If I can find a valvetronic exhaust, sure.
