@alvinli217 haha - you have some serious experience with exhausts. Have you ever had the Prodrive Oval Tip on your catless setup? That was going to be my first choice, but think this will be more stealth/quite - plus the build quality looks awesome.
@alvinli217 You're right - the prodrive is in 2.5" piping and its also only an axle back. Another reason i'm now opting for the Q300 is because its a full catback with 3" piping. I have a 3" catless DP so it will connect perfectly (I'm currenltly running an STI catback with a ton of gasket sealer on my 02 wrx). My ECU is reflashed for Stage 2, i was supposed to see 17psi, but i only hit 15.5. I've heard that a restrictive catback can limit boost. So I'm hoping to reach 17psi with larger tubing.
@youwannafanta I highly doubt you'll need a retune. Was your car originally tuned for your current exhaust? You could always ask a tuner. I have an 02 WRX - all bug eyes do not need a tune with turbo backs or cat backs. What year is your car?
@youwannafanta You'll be fine without a new tune. You're right, the DP is what really makes a difference. Catbacks are basically just for sound. I have a completely catless system, but with a stock STI catback. I never bothered with the catback for performance. Now i'm bothering with the catback for sound. :)
I'm also catless and i was looking for a quite catback. I think this is it. Still nice, deep rumble too!

@deanwrx1 yup go for it man
i have been thru at least 10 exhaust on my STi...this one is overall stealthiest look and decent amount of noise without having any troubles at all ;)

@deanwrx1 didn't go with Prodrive, if i remember correctly it's only 2.5" piping for the prodrive
Invidia has the best weld quality out of all my exhaust i have been thru.
HKS - ok
Greddy - so so
JIC - ok
Invidia - best out of all

@deanwrx1
I am too, am catless and looking for a catback
currently have the full greddy Ti-C tbe catless and that thing is way too loud even with the silencer on.
question: if i were to buy this catback, will it bolt up to my greddy catless dp without the need of a tune?

@deanwrx1 I have an 05 STI. i think it doesn't matter as long as i am still using the DP i got it tuned for. someone correct me if im wrong.
I am just looking for a quieter catback, mine is WAY TOO LOUD! do not get greddy tic
