Also, you can always keep that stock front pipe to put back on for inspection. I know it's a hassle, but an option!

Cheers!

Yes I know. I plan to keep all my stock parts for a just in-case moment. This car is my DD. Would the Q300 plus front pipe be to loud? I want something that sounds mean, deep, but not overly load and obnoxious like the big potato shooters on older Civics and WRX's ( you know the large fart can that you can hear from a mile away)

Also when you have a video up with the Q300 and catless front pipe. This is the combo I am eying Maybe along with a light weight pulley for good measure. Then finally a tune in the coming few months to bring everything together with my aFe intake

The Q300 with catless front pipe is not loud at all. It's sounds almost identical to it with the stock front pipe. The Q300 and catless front pipe is perfect for a DD in our opinion.

Need help guys, I installed the q300 on my car yesterday, but it just would align properly, the driver side tip is poking more than the passengers, some guys from the Facebook page also said their having the same problem, can someone please confirm if they can fit it properly evenly? I don't know what I did wrong but I've follow some advise to drive all day to break it in? I was told somehow the metal flexes after heat and the alignment changes automatically? So far I have not seen change after all day of driving, the driver side still poking out more. I've also tried adjust the rubber hanger and loose the clamp and twist and turn and tighten the clamp many time but still the same, not sure if this info helps but if I pushed the driver side in it will stay and looks perfect, but once driven it changes back to uneven, any ideas?

@Sleeper86 I just installed mine and have the same problem so don't worry you're not alone. From what I gather it's because the weight is all on the left side since that's where the bend to get around the diff is. I tried adjusting it and redoing the clamp a couple times but it still always slides back to that state. I have a feeling that adding a longer hanger on the left side rear might do the trick but have yet to try it. For now I just live with it.
