Invidia N1 saves me money!
 
Since installing my N1 exhaust a couple months ago i've found that I'm saving money. This happens for two reasons.

1.) Drone between 3k and 5k rpm's makes my ears bleed and gives me a headache, so when I'm daily driving I tend to shift earlier than I used to. This helps my MPG's
2.) Drone between 3k and 5k rpm's makes my ears bleed and gives me a headache, so when I'm on the highway I set the cruise at 70 and not 75 or 80 and that saves me from the chance of getting a speeding ticket.


Everyone should buy one.. Drone is good for the pocketbook!!!:burnrubber:

Get a catless header and it reduces the drone. Sounds silly, but the drone is awful with the stock header. Turns into a WRX below 4k rpm with a UEL and a nice deep rumble. Now if you have a catless front pipe, may be a different story.

Hmmm, maybe I have bad hearing or something? But my N1 has yet to give me a single headache or even really annoyed me. Road noise is still much louder than this exhaust at anything above 60mph. Love the sound. I get compliments on it frequently and would recommend it to anyone who apparently does not have sensitive ears :P

I just bought a N1...bring on the noise!!! Coming from a civic with a Buddy Club spec II, the N1 seems tame haha.

I had that set up, but I just recently changed it. I would say it does drone. Some may have a different definition of drone, but just try it out and see if you like it! I think it sounds better catless tho

I felt like it was droning when I got it. But now I don't even find it that loud. May be my ears got used to it.

I have a full exhaust set up and I don't have drone issues at all and it sounds amazing I def recommend getting the n1

Everyone's ears are different. I don't mind at all because i'm bumping my music.

Try a helmholtz resonator. Killed my drone completely

Don't mod your exhaust. Problem, meet solution. You're welcome! :cheers:

Plug your kazoo and roll your windows up?

Coming from an invidia q300 with a invidia catless front pipe, i got the invidia N1 installed this past weekend and pair it with the invidia catless front pipe, sound badass.. Very deep rumble and you let you off the gas and when you downshift, sounds really nice. Compared to the q300, the N1 is way louder but it does sound nicely IMO. Only problem is that it drones like hell between 3k to 5k. Im hoping that after it breaks in, it would drone less..
