Rsx invidia q300
Mountaina | January 5th, 2021
Nice deep sporty tone on outside, when inside the car it sounds louder from my engine and the exhaust kinda drones but maybe because I have the trunk all gutted so probably have none of that trunk interior stuff to help keep the road noises out. I did have plm head installed with it. The plm header gave fitment issues, so I got the plm test pipe cut on both ends and flipped the pipe and reweld. Onto the axle back part, if you hear a knock on the back of your car, chances are that the axle back is hitting the frame of car, the axle back has 2 hangers and one hanger you can see it literally leaning against the car frame. So I took coolant hose, cut small piece to wrap around the hanger which makes contact with the frame. Worked out good and zip ties so it won
Too much Drone. Definitely not quiet or close to stock
Christian | January 4th, 2021
Giving this 2 stars because although the workmanship on the welds are nice and the included hardware and gaskets are good; there were fitment issues and was not quiet as advertised. The midpipe does not fit well and hits the floor of the chassis. My mechanic had to pinch the part of the pipe that hit the floor. Really shouldn't expect that on a $600 catback. Once we got everything installed the noise was unbearable. I previously had a Raceheader with the ExMag RSR exhaust and was loud enough to sound great but didn't have drone. The Q300 was louder with a shorty header and a test pipe. Idle was quiet like stock but anything above 60MPH even when cruising was drone. The sound resonated in the cabin which got annoying quick. That may be fine if that's what you want but Invidia and the forums advertise this as if it's close to stock, which is far from the case. Besides complaining about the noise, the sound is not ricey. Its a very deep growl tone and sounds like a banshee when in Vtec. I ended up selling just the muffler and reinstalled the stock muffler. Screams when in vtec but quiet as a mouse when you just want to cruise.
Great!

Shout out kseriesparts for always being the best plug for my rsx-s. The exhaust is beautiful. Invidia has done some quality work on this. My initial thoughts were wow this is bigger than I thought. The muffler is huge, bigger than stock I think. The test pipe and resonator are A1 quality. Comes with all the hardware (bolts/gaskets). Now for the sound; I'm gonna be honest, it's a lot quieter and less aggressive than I expected so I was a little disappointed. I wanted a quiet exhaust bc I hate people who have loud exhausts but their car is slow af. Didn't want to attract unwanted attention from cops and ricers. I knew this was going to be a quiet exhaust but not stock quiet. It literally sounds just like stock but noticeably a little louder and way more bass. Low tone rumble. And when you hit VTEC, it doesn't scream as loud as others have said. The only other mod I have is injen sri and I can hear that more during VTEC. Now don't be discouraged bc I am inside the cabin so I don't know how loud it is outside. Inside the cabin there is no drone at all but you can hear the low tone bass rumble of the exhaust. At idle on a red light, you can barely hear it. The common problem of the muffler hanger hitting the body of the car is still alive and real. When you hit a big bump on the road it will bang against the body. I fixed this by wrapping a hose around the hanger so it acts as a bumper for it. So I am hoping when I buy a header it'll be a little louder. My final thoughts are: yes it is a great exhaust. I gave it 4 stars because it's over priced for sounding similar to stock but just more bass and obviously a little louder. HP gains? Maybe idk I can't tell but I can feel the car flows better. Can't really tell until I get a header and tune. So if you want a quiet exhaust that's a little louder and deeper tone than stock this is the one.

Great quality product. Great fitment

The Q300 is awesome. It
More than I could've asked for
Cavan Brady | September 4th, 2019
As soon as I opened the box, I was extremely impressed with the welds and craftmanship that went into this product. Absolutely beautiful clean and sturdy design with thick, heavy duty flanges that scream quality. Install was a breeze and paired it with a DC Sports race header. Fitment was perfect. I cannot even fit a finger between the exhaust and the heatshield under the car but it is extremely rigid and has never once rattled or touched. So if you are lowered and looking for a large diameter exhaust I highly recommend. Definitely on the quieter side but when you open it up it will bring a smile to your face. Deep clean tone you can hear even at idle but quiet enough to pull into the driveway without waking anyone up in the middle of the night. Power gains were significant for sure, I am more than happy with this product and I would be happy to buy it again.
My type of exhaust
Lue Her | October 20th, 2017
I was looking for an exhaust that isn't too loud so I won't catch any attention from the police and one that doesn't drone to much since i daily it and drive it everyday. Also don't want anything that will burn my mugen rear lip. Something like stock but louder and deeper. And this is EXACTLY what I was looking for. It look and sound like stock but BETTER! Also scream loiuder in high rpm. It is quiet so if want something louder, go with the N1, Yonoka (way cheaper), hks, etc because this isn't cheap (for me at least). Believe it or not i did feel a slight increase in power (all stock beside aem intake). Order it on Friday and received it on Wednesday afternoon. Definitely worth the $$, been having it for 1 months and no regret buying it.
Just what I was looking for
Jamone Thomas | May 17th, 2017
Love this CAT Back. Not so loud and ricey sometimes forget it's even there. The reason I gave 4 instead of 5 is you would think by now they would know they welded the hanger wrong. Like everyone one else I used high temp hose and zip ties to stop the rattle.
Quiet!
Alan Arevalo | December 27th, 2016
Love this exhaust it's really quiet! I honestly forget that I even have an exhaust. I wish it'll come with hangers for the price but it's all good no fitment issues at all but I had a rattle at the back but it was an easy fix
Perfect
Kurt Dewar | April 30th, 2016
I bought this cat-back system to replace some eBay exhaust the previous owner had on the car. I must say, I'm impressed with the fit, finish and sound of the Q300. The only con I can think of is the mid pipe section. Due to the size of the piping, it does kinda hang low. I haven't had problems, but if you're slammed, be careful.
Best Sound
Sutterrrx | April 17th, 2016
Exhuast fits perfectly, though I did have to cut a piece of hose and zip tie it to one of the brackets for the muffler since it was hitting the frame just a little. Exhaust note is amazing! Not too loud so my neighbors don't hate me, doesn't draw the cops eyes, but definitely a lower note that you can hear when you're cruising and screams when doing a quick pool. Love this exhaust and I recommend it for everyone.
Great sound
Edgardo Acosta | August 26th, 2015
I love this exhaust matched it up with k tuned race header sounds great and looks great
your neighbors will love you :-P
jdmster82 | June 23rd, 2015
I went from skunk2 R t this and it is a lot quieter, my neighbors love me for that lol. This exhaust is well rounded and cant go wrong especially with race header because at normal cruise it very mellow and doesn't create un wanted attention.
Thumbs up
Nick Paolantonio | June 1st, 2015
The Q300 is great! you get the performance of a 70mm exhaust with out the drawbacks! if your rsx is your daily, look no further, nice deep sound without being obnoxious. fit right on my car, some minor rattles but i fixed it with hi heat wrap.
Great Exhaust
Matt | April 15th, 2015
This is a great Exhaust system. The sound is amazing, and I have not heard a nicer sound on a RSX in person. The sound is very low and deep until you hit VTEC, then it opens up and people definitely know you have an aftermarket exhaust. The install was easy, I had the same issue as others with the back muffler hitting the frame. Easy fix, I just bent the hanger slightly and have not heard the rattle again.
Best Mod
Juan Londono | December 29th, 2014
Thuis is the most satisfying mod I have gotten for my car so far. It is extremely quiet compared to my old exhaust (Megan Drift Spec) and it is very easy on the ear at highway speeds. My old exhaust used to rasp at 5k because of the cat delete (Megan test pipe) but the rasp is non-existent now. Fitment is perfect. The mid pipe has plenty of clearance and does not hit the frame like other users have said. This might be due to the test pipe or Invidia changing their design, I don't know. There is however one gripe, and it is the right muffler hanger rattling against metal in two spots, the hanger hook and a piece of the frame. Like others have stated, it is a very easy fix (Rubber hoses and zip ties). This should not scare you away from buying the best exhaust system available. The VTEC crossover sounds amazing, and the intake is louder than the exhaust at crossover. Overall, it is perfect. If you are thinking of buying a different exhaust, forget that nonsense and buy this beautiful piece of art.

hands down on the best exhaust sound I matched it with the invidia RH and its very quiet..
q300 04 rsx-s
Callan Gouger | October 5th, 2013
This exhuast is just what i was looking for. i didnt want a raspy ricey exhaust i wanted a lower growl that was quiet, but louder than stock. i have it paired with an OBX race header, hardware and gaskets all line up and fitment is perfect, no leaks. only thing i would add to any prospective buyer is some spots on the exhaust (right after the header) touch the frame and rattle. i bought some heat wrap and wrapped the pipe all around that spot. rattle gone
Q300 Perfect Sound, No Drone Cruising, Nice System.
Ray K | August 15th, 2012
Got this installed around a month ago and purchased from here. Only issue with the system on my 2002 RSX Type-S is that the rear muffler hanger will hit the frame, but it's an easy fix with rubber hoses/zip ties. Like others said, the sound of this system is perfect, definitely not loud on the exterior and doesn't sound like a rice-rocket, but has a deep aggressive tone. I stood outside to see how loud it was, and wow, the sound is amazing!! Strongly Recommended, if you don't want a obnoxious exhaust, but has a deep tone, this is the one!!
Q300
Ryan Pritchard | August 9th, 2012
This is an awesome exhaust! Had the guys down at K Series Parts install it and I have to say it is perfect! Sounds like the stock exhaust at idle and even at the lower RPMs but when you get on it, it sounds awesome! It hits the underbody a bit which does get fairly annoying but it can be fixed. The reason it hits the bottom of the car is because the piping is so large which means you are getting outstanding performance! Would recommend this exhaust to everyone looking for the best performance without a ridiculously loud exhaust!
Great Exhaust
Steve | August 2nd, 2012
Solid exhaust, sounds great paired with my DC race header, slight drone at 3k but still quite. The only thing is I had to dimple the top of the exhaust near the header coupling so it would fit with out hitting the frame, no big deal due to the fact it's fully stainless. Love the looks and performce of the exhaust and wouldn't buy anything or anywhere else !
Great Sound
Tyler | June 4th, 2012
I love the sound that this exhaust makes, I can't wait to pair it with a new header soon. My only complaint is it sounds as if its hitting the under body of the car and makes a rattle type noise (normally happens at lower speeds). I just read a post that if you cover some parts (areas likely to be causing the rattle noise) in high heat rubber the noise goes away.
Great exhaust!
J | May 26th, 2012
If you're looking at this exhaust, get it now! Great quality, great fitment and sounds perfect, nice deep bass tone up. The only issue is one of the muffler hangers hits the sub frame and rattles. Easy fix though, don't let that stop you from purchasing this exhaust!
Great quality exhaust
Special K | May 24th, 2012
Perfect exhaust for anyone who aint lookin for something loud and obnoxious. also is a 70 mm exhaust which is a nice addition especially at the price. great welds and also nice looking exhaust. I LOVE IT!
Love this exhaust!
jake | April 9th, 2012
From the moment this thing showed up on my door step and i opened it i fell in love! Great welds and nice flange. My only complaint is a thumping sound that im hpping my MMI will fix!
No no fart can
Shawn Annon | February 25th, 2012
I love the sound, not very loud but good tho :):)
Nice Exhaust
Jeff | November 10th, 2011
Packaged nicely, welds were good. Fitment was petty good, slight rattle from the muffler exhaust hanger easily fixed with a small amount of vacuum hose for a buffer. engine is louder than exhaust at high rpm. very slight drone between 3-4k on highway. Nice refined sound thats of course louder than stock... No header with it yet. The studs on the cat are to short for the flange so you have to heat them and bang them out.
After having/hearing countless setups, im never going back after the Q300.
toph | December 17th, 2010
Best damn sounding exhaust ive had and heard on a DC5 without being obnoxious. The sound is very tuned and mellow. Not raspy at all. Sounds like an uber agressive ITR Catback. Ive owned an HKS Hi-Power and ITR Catback, all paired to a DCRH and CRSX RH. Ive heard many setups, and hands down, this Q300 takes the cake. I would buy this again in a heartbeat, especially since it is very stealthy in appearance. It almost looks like it came with the car.
