To all long time owners of Q300: I've heard from various sources (forums) that the "glasspack style" insulation is burning off in time (in just a few months - faster if you track the car) and the sound is getting A LOT louder and "empty can" like. Is this true?
I have an catless UEL header and plan to keep stock OP and FP. Thanks! |

Another data point...
Mine has 1000 miles on it. No other mods. Loud on cold start, quiet at warm idle. Great sound inside and out through the rev range. The volume seems to vary day to day, and I have no idea why, but it's never too loud. |

Just installed the Q300 CB few days back: sounds much deeper, the "rumble" (UEL header) it's way more pronounced and overall it's not that much louder than with the stock CB. I guess that even if it gets a bit louder in time I'll be OK with it (I hope).
The only downside would be the weight, It's even heavier than stock (just a bit)! So far I'm happy with my choice |

After just one trackday the love story ended. Now, at ~2500 revs, it makes a very lame, empty tin can sound. The same thing happens at ~1700, but that is tolerable. I don't mind louder, but this is ruining the fun big time. Very disappointing |

Did you check all the connections on the exhaust and hangers?

Not after the trackday, no. Do you think there might be leaks that are causing this?

It's possible and worth checking. I remember after one of my track days, I was getting a metallic rasp in certain RPM ranges. Turns out the bolt for the hanger holding the midpipe had come loose. If I were you, I'd check all of the connections to make sure everything is snug and tight.

With a built motor I got one season so - Now I run one Vibrant cat, 2 resonators and 2 Vibrant racing mufflers . This should give longevity to hard driven and boosted cars as well as stock. |

Your mufflers will depend on pipe diameter, HP, cats, boost, resonators etc. Any decent race (not muffler) shop can figure out the combo for quiet or noise for your car. Mine is super quiet when I drive like old people f#ck, but growls when I hit boost. |

Any update on this? Still tinny or was the issue something else. Im looking at getting the cb but am worried of having the same issues years down the road.
