What would you choose?

What exhaust would you go with? I can't decide on which exhaust to get. Invidia Q300 or N1?

Do you want something that relatively quiet when you're not flooring it, or do you want something that shakes the foundations of your neighborhood during cold starts at 5 am?

I picked up an N1 recently and it isn't nearly as loud as people make it out to be. Some drone under light acceleration around 3k but it doesn't scream at 7k nor can it be heard idling in my driveway throughout the whole neighborhood. I would of been very disappointed by the Q300 if it really is that much quieter than the N1.

What other mods do you have? N1 can be loud with cats removed.

I would pick Q300.

Openflash UEL header, whatever overpipe, invidia catless resonated front pipe, INVIDIA Q300 and a stage 2 tune. The perfect combo. Livable on the street with all the growl you need for the track.

I've been in the same position as you and really like the Q300 but had too many good deals on the N1. Every time I compare the two I end up wanting the Q300, N1 is just too loud especially for later down the road when more mods are being done.

What about the ft86speedfactory v1? Is that louder than the N1? Are both really that loud with a catless header?
