Invidia N1 Catback or Invidia Q300 Catback??

New to this forum so first like to say hello! haha

Anyway, I'm looking to purchase a new exhaust system sometime soon. I'm quite skeptical when it comes to buying new things and i tend to jump to conclusions. I really like the N1 but the videos on youtube don't quite do it justice. I want a loud deep exhaust system but also want to avoid the law as much as possible. That's where the Q300 comes in. I really need your guy's help on deciding! haha keep in mind that I live in Cali and the emissions law is strict! THANKS!

I don't know much about the Invidia exhausts, but if they're both catbacks then they would both be CA emissions legal. Just a question of how much noise you want.

I have the N1 and what I like about it is the removable silencers. I take them out on track days. Put them back for daily driving.

I've only heard the N1's. Looked and sounded pretty good.

Yeah, I agree. Do the silencers make them sound like a weed whacker? haha

Had an Invidia N1 on my S2000 before. Sounded great at WOT. Annoyed the piss outta me daily driving. The bass filled drone was horrible at cruising speeds between 3-4k RPM.

I got a Works Full Catback ABM Exhaust for sale if you want to save some money. No drone and sounds really good! Selling to put in for suspension mods.

why not make your own.. buy a universal system and take it to a trusted shop to build it from scratch.
