Still slacking on making a video though

once I get my car washed and looking acceptable I'll get on it.

No need for car wash for exhaust video ;-)
Need audio :-) :-)

Anyone with a corsa have some reviews they can share?

imprezaowner72 · 03-16-2015, 05:35 PM

Waiting for mine to ship

Emjay747 · 03-16-2015, 07:49 PM

I have the Sti/Spt stainless exhaust (factory installed) and I like the sound. It's definitely not as loud as the other vendors out there but it's much better than stock. My only issue with it as others have mentioned is that it sits quite low compared to stock. There is quite the gap between the tips and the bumper.

Has anybody tried using hose clamps like this to raise the exhaust: http://legacygt.com/forums/showthrea...r-162224.html?

Or are people having the exhaust hangers physically modified (welding/cutting/etc) so it sits higher?

mechatricity · 03-16-2015, 07:53 PM

The hose clamp trick works quite well, though don't expect more than 1/2"-3/4" of adjustment.

haha thanks!

If you're looking for a down pipe to go with the Q300 defiantly go cattless. I have a Q300 with a mishimoto catted down pipe. I love how it sounds. However, it is far from loud. This is probably common sense, but i just wanted to point out that the Q300 still wont be loud with a catted down pipe.

To answer a few requests, here's a short sound clip of my new Cobb J-pipe. Revving, drive by, and in-car. Additional mods are resonated Q300 and Mishimoto intake.

Was supposed to ship today, didn't get a notice though. If I don't get anything tomorrow I'll ask for another order update.

And to think I ordered this exhaust to get away from Nameless wait times...

Just got my ets CBE! Question - How are you guys mating an aftermarket midpipe to the stock downpipe? The stock donut gasket doesn't really fit into the ets midpipe as it's too fat. It certainly looks much more effective than the thin gasket that came with the ets exhaust though. Are most people just using the provided gasket and calling it good enough?

You need to purchase a grimspeed adapter 2.5 to 3".

We would love a video for sound when you get this installed!

tommy7189 · 03-17-2015, 02:34 PM

Jonny,

I got the ETS CBE and you have to take that donut that comes with the stock exhaust off and add the gasket that comes with the ETS exhaust. no adapters needed it hooks right up to the OEM Jpipe

I can pick up a 11-14 SPT catback for a good price. Has anyone checked the fitment on one of these yet?

Do you have any videos by chance? This is the setup I'm looking to go with.

I ordered the CNT this morning, I should have it next week. I will post up after i get it installed. If you (or anyone else looking at this exhaust) has any specific questions, pics, etc. please let me know. I have never posted a review before but I will try and cover everything.

simpleJ · 03-19-2015, 03:01 PM

Sweet deal! Post up pics of the tips once installed. I for one would appreciate a video, even if it is just smart phone, of the sound inside and out. Let us know how fitment is!

iriemark · 03-19-2015, 03:51 PM

Ordered Agency Power with titanium tips yesterday and expecting delivery tomorrow. Can't wait!

Of course, and thanks for your input on this. I am curious to see how this is going to turn out. I suppose if I personally dislike the sound I will have one to sell you cheap!

lexymomo · 03-19-2015, 10:44 PM

whats the better option for the 2015 ets or q300 cbe? Less drone, not as loud.

simpleJ · 03-19-2015, 11:11 PM

Q300 will be quieter no doubt

Jairen · 03-20-2015, 01:32 AM

You guys were right.

I just installed the Invidia Q300 and it is very quiet. Stock-like quiet. Not sure if it's much louder than stock, but it isn't noticeable at all in-cabin. I upgraded from a Nameless Axle-back muffler delete.

ievko82 · 03-20-2015, 08:40 AM

Does anyone have an outside driving video of the Tsudo exhaust? I've only found 1 on YouTube but it's pretty short.

I currently have the Nameless axleback muffler delete on my car but I have a Nameless axleback with mufflers waiting to be installed when the weather gets better (it's snowing right now).

I heard the Q300 isn't worth the upgrade unless you go with a catless J-pipe down the road.

Make more power, it gets fairly loud. Granted mine is on a +500whp sti but I wake up the neighborhood when I leave the house at night. Too loud really.
