dug-e-fresh Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Currently my '09 spec.B has an excellent condition SPT catback. I love the sound, but really want a quad-tip set-up. Sooo... that said, I have found the following: CNT - $899 http://www.cntracing.com/CNT-performance-05-09-Subaru-Legacy-Quad-tips-Catb-p/cb-05sl.htm Invidia - $714 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Invidia-Subaru-05-UP-legacy-q300-quad-stainless-steel-tips-cat-back-exhaust-/300847756585?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Model%3ALegacy%7CSubmodel%3AGT&hash=item460bec7529&vxp=mtr Megan Racing - $615 http://kspecracing.com/megan_racing/megan_racing_cat_back_system_oers/mrmidpipeslg05abeslg05/i-542270.aspx wrong picture, correct pictures: http://www.meganracing.com/product.asp?prodid=214&catid=15 Stromung - $??? no longer produced? Can someone confirm this? Anyway, I am leaning toward the Megan Racing unit... and not because it's the cheapest. I like it for the non-rolled tips (ie- CNT) and the lack of badging in tacky places (ie- Invidia). But, that said... I am not sure how this exhaust is going to hold up. Can anyone speak on 2-4 years of salty winter usage and how it holds up? Then there's sound... like I said, I really like the sound of the SPT unit. I don't want something obnoxious... LASTLY... are there any quality options that I may have missed? Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lingling1337 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 You should be able to get the CNT for much cheaper than $900, check around with vendors. I know a ton of people like the Invidia unit for the quality of the sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dug-e-fresh Posted March 18, 2014 Author Share Posted March 18, 2014 Invidia! I'd have to cut off that tacky invidia "bracket"/name plate at the y pipe. I hate that thing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dug-e-fresh Posted March 19, 2014 Author Share Posted March 19, 2014 Also, there seems to be 2 Invidia designs... one with flanged mufflers and another with slip-joints. Which one is the current version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rapture Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 i vote invidia all day catless love the way those grumble!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dug-e-fresh Posted March 19, 2014 Author Share Posted March 19, 2014 Alright... so I think I like the flat-bottomed cans on the Invidia unit better than the rounded cans on the Megan racing unit. I'm thinking that can offset my hatred of the Invidia nameplate (until I decide how to cover or remove it). I don't necessarily like the way the passenger side muffler piping runs... but if it tucks nice, I can live with it. So, that said, where can I find the Q300 cheaper than $714???

dug-e-fresh Posted March 19, 2014 Author Share Posted March 19, 2014 This is assuming that the CURRENT version of the Q300 is FLANGED and not slip-jointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drift Motion Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 stromung hangs low, as it doesn't clear the exhaust cutout looks like a limped dick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossil2k2 Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 I have had the Stromung exhaust since 2011 or whenever Infamous Performance did the group buy. Build quality is 2nd to none, top notch materials. Drift Motion is correct that it does hang a touch low in the cutout but it's not something that would be a deal breaker for me, I'd rather it be a little low than melt my bumper. I'm very happy with my exhaust, I ran with a catless DP for over two years, and now have a catted DP, I'd bet it's noticeably louder than your STP. Here are the two main threads related to the group buy that contain photos and more information on the exhaust. http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/infamous-performance-05-09-sedan-and-wagon-quad-tip-cbe-149597.html?t=149597&highlight=stromung http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/gi-new-quad-tip-cbe-05-09-infamous-performance-148820.html?t=148820&highlight=stromung Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrowNaza86 Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 stromung hangs low, as it doesn't clear the exhaust cutout looks like a limped dick First time I've heard of this, mine sits perfectly in the cutouts and fit perfectly on the car with no issues. Doesn't hang low at all. You just cray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just cray. same, never heard of that complaint before either. I think mine are about as tucked as u can get without risking melting of the cutouts. I used torque solution exhaust hangars. http://i55.tinypic.com/jshchc.jpg http://i55.tinypic.com/wwngwk.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amp583 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Bumping this because im in the same boat. OP what catback did you get? How is it holding up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dug-e-fresh Posted July 18, 2014 Author Share Posted July 18, 2014 I ended up getting the Invidia Q300 quad. Love it. Fitting it was a PITA and customer service is non-existent. I had to modify hangers, install a flange spacer on the driver side, experiment with different insulators... ugh... but it looks and sounds badass now. No regrets.

dug-e-fresh Posted July 18, 2014 Author Share Posted July 18, 2014 And word of advice... buy from Vendors on the board... best prices around, by far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirshnerd Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Too bad the Q300 had been on sale for a great price recently, and NOBODY has it in stock. Invidia is currently (or within the near future) putting the LGT 05-09 Q300 back into production (another batch). So annoying that vendors do this... selling parts they don't have that aren't available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
