So I want to trade my hatchback style q300 (cat back) for something a little more ear friendly. Car sound so fcking awesome at WOT and around town but between my neighborhood filled with older retired folks and my gf's appartment complex they all hate me since I usually leave for work pretty early in the morning. A lot of people from the forum have heard this turbo back and give it awesome compliments. I really wouldn't be getting rid of this set up if my gf's neighbors didn't mind so much, my neighborhood doesn't really care anymore I'm just trying to be nice. Exhaust is in awesome shape never scrapped or anything over speed bump ect. This exhaust on the sound scale is probably a 7.5/10 and I'm looking for something like a 6/10 or under.

Here is a video of my car with the exhaust (downpipe + catback) so you can get a feel for the exhaust note.

I'm the second WRB hatch. Skip to 00:33 second mark.



Please don't offer single/duel exhaust I don't like the look.


Invidia Q300 retails for $910 these days


Cat Back Exhaust System at RallySportDirect.com

Also I'm willing to trade just catbacks.

These are the main catbacks I'm interested in

Greedy SP Elite quad catback
SPT quad catback
Milltek quad catback
Nameless performance catback (depends on which model)

Let me know what you have and if its worth it to me I can add cash on top


Thanks.

I always thought the Q300 was one of the quieter exhausts out there. I've got the Nameless muffler delete + downpipe and it was a good 3x's louder than a Q300 catback on the same car.

You have a sedan, hatchbacks are totally different. We only have one muffler and you guys have two.

My buddy has an spt on his 11 wrx sedan and its pretty loud to me. If you want to go quieter, I'd look at the maddad whisper quiet exhaust. I have it (stock dp right now) and it adds a nice low rumble but definitely not loud.

I used to have a SPT it's around the loudness that's tolerable for me, It's really not that loud compared to what i have right now. I'm not looking to be dead silent just less of a noise maker then i am right now.

not only that but there was a revision to the Q300s if you look at posts on the forums people started talking about the new version being a lot louder. bump for OP. i love my milltek. hope you can find one of those.
