Pretty much. Greddy elite is about the same, but with the Q300 you get more piping, and the ability to upgrade later with front pipes and etc. Again I have not seen anything besides the stock set-up that bolts to the Greddy Elite. Not saying the Greddy Elite is bad, it just narrows the upgrade options if you want to go full cat back.

We had sold over 40+ of these exhaust systems not one problem. you can also add a front pipe and get a mid pipe made at a local exhaust shop.

does greddy offer any mid pipes or anything to add onto the Elite? if we get the SP Elite is there a way to add a midpipe that Greddy makes as well?

I am from the Philippines. I just installed the greddy sp elite 4 days ago. And I couldn't ask for more. Sounds perfect, looks great. Always looking forward to cold starts. Zero drone, sound bassy on low rpm and idle.

One thing greddy missed out. Making the tiPs blue/ burnt look

Will be installing the resonated front pipe from hks or Invidia soon. Once done I will be doing a dyno

Don't let anyone talk you out of getting this. The look and sound are amazing compared to other axlebacks out there. Most front pipes and overpipes are designed with the stock exhaust in mind so you won't have issues there either.

Problem with the Axel-back is the $$$. cheapest ive found is right at $600, which for about $80 you can get the full cat back thats not loud, easy for DD, the Q300. Im stuck in the same boat.

It's a nice item don't get me wrong but I think it really limits your future plans unless you go custom for the mid section of the exhaust.

For $600 you can bump up a $100 more and get the Q300 which sounds great and isn't loud. You could also get the Perrin for a bit more or our V1 exhaust. Borla, Magnaflow, etc... so many options that are just not an axle back that complicate your upgrade path.

so im getting the sp elite saturday so if i decide that i want to get a perrin midpipe or overpipe for example, with me getting the SP Elite i wont be able to becuse it either wont fit or wont work with it ? i like the look sound and price of the SP Elite so in the future if i want to go ahead and get the mid pipe over pipe headers etc i wont be able to because it will limit my future mods?

Hey guys,

Still on the sideline here. I've not bought anything yet but just about ready tp pull the trigger on the Greddy SP Elite.

I'm positive I will not be doing anything more such as mid pipes or down pipes in the future. Just want to have it sound a bit deeper and maybe just a bit more vocal when on the gas.

You can use midpipe/overpipe combos with this exhaust I already have the midpipe and will soon install an overpipe.

Which midlife are you getting? How will I know that a certain brand will fit like if I get the Perrin midlife and over pipe?
