Got my Invidia midpipe installed but noticed a different sound from my Injen Short Ram.

When accelerating from the midrange, say maybe 40 mph, you usually hear the intake sucking in more air but it's a consistent intake flow. Now with the midpipe in it sounds like "suck, suck, suck" instead of "suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck"

Any advice? I'm considering switching to the Takeda CAI instead.

I have a takeda CAI and catback ARK quadtip exhaust and for my personal opinion is just right amount of growl. Not too loud and not too quiet. Pops on downshift. In cabin noise is just fine and it doesnt overpower the sounds when listening to music. Fsport mode is even better sounds out of it. Not sure if they make ARK for 300. Ill see if i can upload a video when i get the chance

Update...so I started with a PPE catless down pipe, then got an Invidia midpipe, then finally decided to get the Invidia Q300 axle backs and the cold start is ridiculously loud. There's a slight drone at low rpms, but tbh I am having an issue with my vacuum regulator and will be replacing it when the parts come in. The vacuum regulator seemed to be the cause of my previous issue of hearing the car suck air then stop then start again. Seems to be common on the IS200T as well.

Anyone else with an RC300 or RC200T with a similar exhaust set up? Does the Invidia exhaust break in after a while and change sound? I have an Evo 9 with 3 inch piping and it's not as loud as my RC. Cold start is so loud I feel bad for my neighbors lol.

Here's some sound clips

Cold Start in my garage

About 10 seconds later it mellows out, still pretty loud

I don’t use the ASC anymore because of it ��. Ocassionally, i do hear an afterfire “pop” when decelerating. If you’re going for a more subtle approach, I definitely recommend.
Do you still like your Takeda stage 2 intake setup? I'm thinking about getting the intake as well with your same exhaust setup that I have even with the defuser. Can you post a video with sound?
