thinking invade N1

[x1UP]

If you're thinking about Invidia N1, go for it. I've heard great things about it. But, like others have said, i'd figure out what kind of set up you're trying to go for before buying an exhaust.

At first, I wanted to get the Q300 because Catless headers are in my future. But, I came across the Titanium tip N1 for $450 lightly used and jumped on that (so cheap!).

I feel like my muffler delete (it was a custom axleback, but its pretty much the same thing as the Berk/Nameless track pipe) made a lot more overall noise, whereas the N1 is a deeper tone. I had a harder time talking on the phone with a muffler delete than I do with the N1.

But then again, I'm missing a bolt (seller didn't have some of the bolts) so I've got a small leak. Need to go to Ace Hardware after work today. lol

Cold starts are loud with most exhaust setups.

I'm rocking an N1 exhaust, Invidia catless resonated front pipe, and a motiv overpipe (currently waiting on a catless UEL to ship). The cold start is quite loud, but it quiets down a good amount after the idle drop. I love the sound of the setup, there's no rasp at all. There is a little bit of drone at highway speeds but nothing that is over-bearing to me but to each their own. The Invidia N1 does come with silencers that are simple enough to put on and take off if you want to cabin to be a little quieter on long trips.

Side note: If you have (or plan) to get an OFT and are going to run catless you can reduce the starting idle RPM. A major reason for the idle is warming up the cats for emissions purposes.

Local guy from the forums parting out, yes.

ah i was looking at that one too, shipping is just so obnoxious for large parts like this

N1 was great when I had it paired with the invidia catless front pipe, then after I threw my OFH on it was unbearably loud. Maybe If I drove it around town all day it would be alright, but any little stint on the highway/interstate and it was mind numbing. Ended up putting the factory front pipe on until I can get a catted/resonated front pipe. With this setup now it's about perfect, minus the little bit of drone from about 75-83mph.
