Q300 or takeda?

Hi everyone, I just need some input on the Q300 and the afe takeda exhaust systems. I can't make up my mind between the two so any input on what you think would be better is appreciated.

I have not had a lot of experience with the Takeda system, but I have sold and heard a lot of good things from the Invidia.

Takeda hangs pretty low from what I've seen. I'd say the Q300 would be the better choice. Its a nice feeling and looking exhaust.

definitely feel more power, probably not more than 10whp. Catbacks alone usually dont give you any power, its the other pieces that add up

Alright thanks.
One more question man do you know any other way that would increase power but at the same time won't cost me an arm and a leg?

Stickers bro... Stickers. Lol jk man, but seriously your gonna have to spend some good money to get good power. You can upgrade some suspension parts pretty cheap if you can do the labor yourself but that doesnt produce power it just lets you lay down the power you already have. Like andrew said FI would probably be the way to go for a lot more power. But not everyone has that much money to drop. What im doing right now is upgrading my whole exhaust system then gonna save up for tune. All i need is a header. Tune is probably your best bet to get more power as well.
