Default Invidia exhaust over time

For those of you who have had an Invidia for a while now, how much does the sound change over time?

I'm serious about getting the Invidia in about 2 weeks, but I don't want my car to sound ricey AT ALL

Thanks for your help guys!

Invidia does not sound ricy, nice deep tone that purrs on light throttle and screams at WOT (sounds like an f1 car).

Over time it does get a little quieter in the cabin. Now that can eithor be that you are just getting accustom to the noise level OR it really is quieting down because it is building up a carbon deposite on the inner tubing of the pipes; doesn't really matter because it does get quiet no matter which way you look at it.

Outside tone will not change any. When people say it quiets down or changes tone over time, they are referring to the cabin noise, not outside the car.


I have a testpipe on my invidia and I'll admit down low 2-3.2k rpms it sounds a little ricy / G35ish, but the sound at WOT is just to die for now! I think I can live with it

I've had mine on for a year now (maybe 15K miles) and I love the sound. The drone goes away just a little bit, but I don't think it does, or ever did, sound "ricey".

I used to have the Invidia. While it may sound ricey inside the car with the top up. I think it is the best sounding exhuast I have heard on the outside. Not ricey at all. Very deep aggressive sound.
