I'm going with the Tsudo because it's cheaper and is made of better materials versus getting the Works 2.5" midpipe made to order. I really can't justify the $680 price of the Q300 knowing my main objective is to make everything 2.5" headerback and keep costs low without deleting the muffler or resonators. If I didn't have to stay under the 98 db limit at AMP where I frequently track the car I'd consider getting the Tsudo race catback which is essentially the same but with a centrally fed dual-exit muffler delete. It would probably be droney on the street (like all dual-exit muffler deletes that don't have resonators) and too loud for AMP.
trust me I was on the same boat and now am glad I switched to Q300 it's just a better exhaust and well worth the price difference ($250) if you ask me..and one thing to mention, I was planning to keep my OEM catback and I would definitely keep it if it wasn't for the ID (2.5") I don't really care about the "boxer rumble" or the loud exhausts.. after a while Tsudo started giving me some drone on the highway and that was with the OEM header, I was a bit surprised because Tsudo was supposedly one of the quieter exhausts in the market according to the reviews I read here and there.. I have no drone with Q300 and I have catless FP..

FYI, thmotorsports have 5% off if you plug in the coupon code "Invidia" which cuts down the cost $650 shipped
