What happen to your insurance, if you have one?

My deductible is $500. Pdr should cost less than that.

I was thinking of switching to the Q300 when I purchase the Tomei header. I wouldn't want it any louder than my stock header+nameless, but I still want to be able to hear it while driving..

Nope, unless I went WOT, that's the only time you could tell I even had a header or a full exhaust. If I'm driving civil and regularly, it's almost as if I'm stock.

That's the reason I went with the Perrin 2.5" so I can at least hear my exhaust some, but not have the drone. It's the perfect setup I've found that balances quiet and loud right in the middle.

Damn.. sounds like it would be too quiet. Guess I'll just keep my nameless and hope it doesn't become too loud after the header. Those titanium tips are so nice though .

It will be too loud because those mufflers are small, but the stock midpipe has a decent resonator in it to keep it somewhat reasonable.

The Ti tips I had were faded when I got the exhaust and it progressively got worse. I ended up anodizing the tips myself with electricity and making them more of a blue color and they looked much better. Needless to say, I'm happy to be back to brushed stainless tips.

OP, did you end up getting the Q300?

I have the TRD exhaust and it's a little bit too loud for me. I'm thinking I might switch back to stock or try one of these Q300's. One of the most annoying things is the TRD exhaust on the freeway when I'm rolling in 6th and accelerate from 60-75mph, it is pretty loud. Likewise on deceleration that booming is pretty noticeable.

No. I'm stuck on the TRD still. I'm not sure if I want to sink more money into my car.
