Talking Invidia q300 axelback+ midpipe install

Finally was able to get the Invidia axelback to go with its midpipe and was able to do the install myself. The install itself wasn't very hard but removing the stock midpipe was annoying because there is a brace that goes over it and in order to take off the brace you need to remove some of the plastic covers that line the underside of the car to get to a few of the brace's bolts. Initially, I was surprised by how loud it was but after driving around with it for a little over a week you get used to the drone. Since I don't go on the highway that often I usually just get the car to around the speed limit and just cruise, which in auto it cruises around 1-2K rpm, and the drone isn't that bad especially if you have music on. Here's a quick sound clip of the whole exhaust setup which is paired with my Takeda air intake. Sounds a lot better in person though. Shoutout to @sdqqbb and @Rudiculous for the parts. Hope this helps those who are interested in getting the whole setup!

Hmmmm, i was thinking about the q300. Might be too loud for me and the drone might get to me. Sounds pretty sick though from the exterior.

I got this exhuast installed, midpipe + axleback. I love it, there is some drone 2-2.5k RPM but it's not bad at all. I think the midpipe + axleback gives the perfect amount of noise, its loud but not deafening loud.

I got this set up too and personally I think it's pretty quiet(mainly due to the mufflers on the axleback).
