Funkyman831 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 I installed the Invidia Q300 on my 05 LGT. I was expecting... much more volume than what was given. It does have the great subaru rumble... but I can barely hear it over the turbo and I would have to have the windows down. IS there any way to go a little bit louder? Of course, I am keeping the CBE. Perhaps installing a catless DP might give it a bit more throat, or am I pretty much stuck with what I've got. I feel like I have heard these on other Leggy's and WRX's and it seems much louder.

Drift Motion Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Guess you didn't read any review before purchasing the exhaust huh It's one of the quietest catback... you want loudness? take off the center section/y pipe...run open downpipe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated bucko3the7man Posted April 9, 2013 I Donated Share Posted April 9, 2013 I'm running this and think it's the perfect catback. quiet at idle but gets loud when you stand on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Replacing the stock DP with a catted DP will open it up a bit but the Q300 is a very tame CBE. Many folks ditch louder obnoxious CBEs (MagnaFLow) for it!

korpsepatrol Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 You are going to need a down pipe to open up the sound. I have been running(and still do) the q300 v1 on my car for a few years as well as several other cat backs. The sound takes 2 months to really mellow but you will thank yourself for making that purchase if you travel a lot or have long commutes or have the typical(non car enthusiast) human female in your car. 2008 6mt Legacy Gt Spec B DGM - Not so Stock/Work in progress 2006 5mt Legacy Gt OBP - Sold 2005 5eat Legacy Gt OBP - RIP R.I.P Coxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaNu1142 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Hell, I'll trade you my Magnaflow if you want loud. I want stealth. I have a midpipe muffler installed and mine is still louder than I'd like. Tits mcgee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brprs Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 There's a reason this exhaust has close to zero rasp if any. All around the best exhaust for our cars. IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quick4dr Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 I bought korpsepatrols old cobb mid pipe, is was silent with stock mufflers, then I added perrin mufflers and gained the sound, then I ditched the cobb mid for a resonated perrin unit, kept the tone but the resonator cleaned it up. Now im about to add nameless performance muffler deletes just for fun for the loudest combo possible with EWG, hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funkyman831 Posted April 10, 2013 Author Share Posted April 10, 2013 From what I've heard, this is a great CBE and I will definitely stick with it. My next option is to install a downpipe, but I won't be able to do catless since they are anal about it in Missouri. Anybody have a good preference on downpipes with a good sound?

I'm going with either a cobb or a turboxs because it gets the cat out of the engine bay. New TurboXS is the same price as a used cobb, so take that as you will.

bboygreddy Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 I ran the Q300 on stock dp and catless dp. Honestly the Q300 might even be quieter than the hogzaust (2 washers each bolt), since I rocked that for a bit. However I think the sound is much cleaner. Once you open up the downpipe, catless or catted, you'll be surprise how much more "sound" opens up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
