Very nice choice. I was looking to get the q300 myself, since I daily drive as well, but I ended up doing the UK exhaust mod and couldn't be happier.

I have an Q300 dual exhaust on mine...very quiet if you don't go above 4000rpm. A few days ago I had a cop right behind me on the freeway exit...and as usual if you don't do anything stupid you will be fine. I accelerated normally (or even a little faster than normal...haha seeing he was behind me) and nothing happened...It's definitely one of the quieter if not the quietest aftermarket exhaust out there

This is what worries me about the Q300. I DD my S so quiet is preferable in most situations, however I'm not opposed to loud. I used to ride a R6 almost daily and it was stupid loud.

What other exhausts are comparable to the Q300 that are known to be slightly louder?

If you hit 3500 under acceleration it puts out a raspy sound(which i love) and like said before, it isnt loud unless you are getting on it aka no bad drone. If you want loud get the test pipe. It is loud as shit under partial and full throttle.

How does the Invidia Q300 sound with a HFC? I heard it gets obnoxious, which leaves is frustrating for me because I thought I had my search narrowed down to the Q300. I wanted a nice sounding exhaust that wasn't a cop magnet and had potential for Flashpro tuning. Now I don't know what exhaust is left.

I got q300 dual 70mm + berk HFC 70mm. Had it installed in my car for about 2 months now. Loving every bit of it Now one thing that bothers me a little bit is when under partial throttle right at 3k during acceleration it drones. But once you pass 3k drone is completely gone. It's got stock like idle, not too loud when light on gas, but be ware of orgasm when you punch it

Hahaha I see. Well, what worries me is exactly what you refer to as "orgasm". I don't want the police to hear me coming (lol pun intended)from too far out. What RPM does it get loud at you think? Also how loud is it when your on the freeway doing normal speeds (70-75mph)

70mph is about 1 to 2 bar below 4k rpm(ap2), which is the speed i travel in everyday, and its not loud. once you pass 3k it quiets down significantly, its loud ~3k rpm.
