Exhaust came in today, supposed to have it installed on Friday! Pictures as requested after it's on the car.

Finally got it installed yesterday and the sound is amazing, it's exactly what I was looking for. The only issue we had was the exhaust tip on the driver's side was a little tough to get to slide over the pipe but we finally got it on with some persuasion. I do have a slight vibration in the rear passenger side heat shield as the exhaust comes back to idle. One of the guys at the dealer messed around with it yesterday but the noise is back today. I'll have to get back under the car this afternoon to see how to make it stop. Has anybody had this issue before?

Figured out the noise, one of the exhaust hanger brackets was not tightened up all the way. We got that taken care of and problem solved.

Do the tips stick out further than stock?

Also from the OP pics it looks like the tips are clamped on. Can the tip length be adjusted in case you want it closer to the bumper?

Sweet, thanks for the reply! I was almost sold on the FI exhaust, but this looks like a good alternative for a relatively quiet exhaust with a near stock look.

On the x-pipe, does anybody know if it's 2 separate pipes or do they combine? I can't tell for sure from the pics.

Holy ****, this thing sounds amazing.

How good is it compared to the FI catback?

To the OP (if you're still here), how's this exhaust holding up?

I've had the Q300 on my sedan now for 3 1/2 years and ~16K miles. Seems to be holding up well. I avoid driving the car in the winter/salted roads as much as possible, but sometimes can't be avoided. If it holds up for another 8 years i'll be a very satisfied buyer
