We're running an Invidia catless with the Q300 right now. Biggest gain in performance right there for us.

my 5 cents reg MOTIV front pipe with HFC

love it, exhaust tone became a bit meaner, ZERO GAS SMELL retained

remember, there would be minor gains without changing the rest exit pipes, THEN it'll shine

Motiv HFC Front Pipe. When I change headers the 1st cat will be gone so I need a front-pipe with cat to pass emissions with no CEL after extending secondary o2 sensor location

Ive got the Motiv HFC pipe and love it. 1500 track miles on it and the thing has no problems at all, unlike my AP exhaust that at 1500 miles it took a dump. The craftsmanship is superb!!

Another vote for Motiv, i was one of the first to try them out and have been in contact with them ever since. If they make it, it will be on my car.

I also have the Motiv test-pipe installed. It's a perfect fit and awesome quality. Sounds amazing paired with my T1R 70R exhaust.

Great customer service from these guys too.

overpipe+frontpipe, dont cares whose you buy, just get them both
if you plan on headers go catted front pipe

If only Motiv will release their headers. I still haven't had a chance to open the box with the HFC front pipe, and still waiting for their overpipe to arrive. From what I have seen, they have some of the best welds on the market, which shows they care about quality. Any company could hire an amateur welder to put two pieces of metal together and demand top dollar.

I recommend this as well. Stick with the same company, as they are designed to work together. If there are any issues with fitment you can go straight to the company. With two different brands each company will blame the other. Not worth the headaches.

Motiv.

DSOmegaX · 12-05-2012, 02:00 PM

Motiv

Got3n · 12-05-2012, 03:00 PM

I'm thinking I may have to get this Motiv front pipe lol. Do they have an overpipe to? I was thinking of the getting the Perrin front pipe since they had an overpipe as well.
