Which Quad-Tip CATBACK should I switch to?

Currently my '09 spec.B has an excellent condition SPT catback. I love the sound, but really want a quad-tip set-up.

Sooo... that said, I have found the following:

CNT - $899

Invidia - $714

Megan Racing - $615

Stromung - $???
no longer produced? Can someone confirm this?

Anyway, I am leaning toward the Megan Racing unit... and not because it's the cheapest. I like it for the non-rolled tips (ie- CNT) and the lack of badging in tacky places (ie- Invidia).

But, that said... I am not sure how this exhaust is going to hold up. Can anyone speak on 2-4 years of salty winter usage and how it holds up?

Then there's sound... like I said, I really like the sound of the SPT unit. I don't want something obnoxious...

LASTLY... are there any quality options that I may have missed?

Thanks!!

You should be able to get the CNT for much cheaper than $900, check around with vendors. I know a ton of people like the Invidia unit for the quality of the sound.

Invidia!

I love that thing!

best part of the system

Also, there seems to be 2 Invidia designs... one with flanged mufflers and another with slip-joints.

Which one is the current version?

i vote invidia all day catless
love the way those grumble!!

Alright... so I think I like the flat-bottomed cans on the Invidia unit better than the rounded cans on the Megan racing unit. I'm thinking that can offset my hatred of the Invidia nameplate (until I decide how to cover or remove it).

I don't necessarily like the way the passenger side muffler piping runs... but if it tucks nice, I can live with it.

So, that said, where can I find the Q300 cheaper than $714???

This is assuming that the CURRENT version of the Q300 is FLANGED and not slip-jointed.

I have the stromung and love it.

fit perfectly and sounds amazing imo.

Welp... sell it to me!

Boom...get a Stromung and be happy with life.

stromung hangs low, as it doesn't clear the exhaust cutout

looks like a limped dick

I have had the Stromung exhaust since 2011 or whenever Infamous Performance did the group buy. Build quality is 2nd to none, top notch materials. Drift Motion is correct that it does hang a touch low in the cutout but it's not something that would be a deal breaker for me, I'd rather it be a little low than melt my bumper. I'm very happy with my exhaust, I ran with a catless DP for over two years, and now have a catted DP, I'd bet it's noticeably louder than your STP.

Here are the two main threads related to the group buy that contain photos and more information on the exhaust.

First time I've heard of this, mine sits perfectly in the cutouts and fit perfectly on the car with no issues. Doesn't hang low at all. You just cray.
