as for exhaust, i’m expecting an invidia q300 on monday. i almost feel like i should’ve ordered the ark performance (mufflers look extra fancy rofl).

I am from Vancouver, BC as well. I have the Invidia Q300 cat-back on my IS250. I'm pretty happy with the exhaust.

I drive pretty aggressively, constantly switching modes and I average 11L/100km. I can get it as high as 17-18 but that's with some real aggressive driving. I'm on AS3+ for tires and use only shell 91.

This car burns gas when you're revving the hell out of it, but when you're going 120km the revs are below 2500 rpm in 6th gear (awd), you don't actually hit 2500 rpm until what 135km/h? So you can cruise pretty fast and get somewhat decent km which is real nice, my old matrix hit 3000rpm at 120km and just ate fuel cruising at that speed.

The whole cat-back setup costed me $1600CAD, I ended up just buying from http://www.jmautosports.com/ and have it ship to my house. Even after shipping, duties, and conversion it still ended up costing less then a quote I got from a shop in Vancouver.

It's quiet only if you have the axleback. I think its the right volume when you pair it with the midpipe. Where did you get quoted $950? Is that just the axleback?

My midpipe was $524.70 from JMAutoSports. It'll probably be $850 from the shop where you got quoted from

Do you have AWD or RWD?

My 2014 350 RWD gets around 13L/100km in Normal mode, mostly city driving. On the highway, it plummets to a beautiful 8.5L/100km with moderate pedal jamming

Oh, and I'm from Vancouver too.
