Default Im considering the Invidia exhaust Q300 rear section only

Anyone have this exhaust? If so, how do you like it? Where did you get it from and how much?

I don't really want it too loud but a little bit more throttle noise is what I want.

The exhaust sounds good in the Invidia video. I'm interested in this exhaust as well.Think you need the full cat back system to get the sound in the video. Not just the axle back system.

I have the invidia. Sounds nice. But right off the bat it's not as loud but takes about a few weeks to break in and the sound will be better. U won't hear it much in the car but ppl outside tells me it's sounds very deep and like a v8. Mid pipe is recommended if u want it louder.

I have the invidia. I love the sound. Hate having to clear the p0420 code every ~100 miles though. Even with o2 extensions. Haven't tried the angled ones yet. That might be the ticket.

That sounds annoying. I wonder why that is happening?

Why do you have to run extensions with the axel back?

Sorry, forgot to add "midpipe" into my post. It's the invidia midpipe that causes the check engine lights.

I just wanted to say that the JoeZ exhaust (mid-pipe) doesn't throw off any check engine lights...so you don't have to be concerned with that with his .
Just offering helpful tips for people out there...

+1 to this. No issues with mid pipe O2 sensors throwing anything off.

Not trying to sell, but I think this is a bonus. The best thing about the joe z was not the added performance, because it's minimal in my opinion. But I did get a 2-3 extra MPG, so est. 380+ miles on a full tank. Without the exhaust, I was estimating only 357 per full tank consistently. Some food for thought.
