Afternoon.

Sold the Invidia N1 today. As much as I loved the Noise on full chat, the drone grated on me a lot of the time.

So I'm in the market for a new un.

Single or Dual, I did think of going Custom 3" or 2.75" to match the test pipe.

What's your take all. I don't want an excessively loud exhaust hence getting rid of the N1 but don't want it to be quiet like a gnats fart.

So far the only one I can think of is the Invidia Q300 but I am open to suggestions. I'd Ideally like to keep it 70mm.

cheers in advance

 

uk mod. Q300 still drones

 

Mugen?

 

OEM going around my mates to be "mod'd" for the time being

I guess I am going to have to go for a razz in one with a Q300 to see what the drone is like. The N1 was horrific.


Not a massive fan of the looks to be honest Ian... and if it sounds anything like that one in the exhausts video on Youtube I am not keen on it mate.

 

My ASM 70mm doesn't drone if fitted with decat.

And very quiet off throttle.

 

Do you have a 3" test pipe? If you are going for a smaller diameter exhaust now (it looks like it) I´d be interested in p/x my test pipe for yours + money?

Have you heard of the Megan Racing OE-RS? It´s pretty similar to the Q300, better quality imo, and sound is great (more refine than Q300 in low revs I´d say)

 

Glad it's still working well

 

It's a beautiful piece of kit! You chose wisely!!

I personally have gone custom 3" single. I purely went for sound as the performance gains are always going to be marginal when modifying NA so unless you are eventually going forced induction I wouldn't get hung up on numbers. Mine only made 258 HP with exhaust, decat, manifold and induction with a decent tune (TDi North) but it was never about the 'bragging' rights. I will say though if you go exhaust and decat you will want to look at getting a map as the car will start to run lean on change over. However to get the best out of any mods regardless a map is winner!

Basically I think it is down to what you think looks/sounds best after all because its your car. I know I get a bit of hate for going single exit, but do i care? No.
