My Invidia exhaust finally came today, so I rushed home from work early and installed it!

I'm VERY happy with it, this exhaust is the ticket as far as cat-backs go...the ones I've heard at least. (other than custom of course...) It's deep, kind of sounds STi-ish to me sometimes. Not obnoxious and no drone that I have heard yet, I honeslty haven't driven it around very much yet, because I'm about to go out of town for the weekend, but wanted to make sure you guys got some pictures!

I also made a video clip, but it came out horrible, I will make a bunch ASAP when I come home on Monday.

Thought it would be good to show that this muffler is indeed straight-through...thats lots of light on the other end .


Mmmmm, big tips:






Installation was a BREEZE. I have never installed an exhaust before, but this is really easy...did it with ramps. Luckily I'm small so I could squeeze under there though! I still want to adjust it a little bit, but no fitment issues at all.

I HIGHLY recommend this exhaust so far. I want to give a big thanks to JSC Speed for their excellent service and taking GREAT care of me with this exhaust.

Sound clips to come .

 

Looks good, let us know what you think of the sound after 300 or so miles?

Don

 

it looks like your tips are touching the bumper cover?

 

It looks nice man... About the Sti sound you are totally right!!!

Finally arrive, congratulations.

 

They're actually not touching the bumper...

They do fill the entire opening and the gap between them and the bumper is very small. I'm really not concerned about it though...it sounds too good for me to care.

Must get home to drive it more!

 

Looks good! Glad the install was easy and that you are pleased with the quality and sound of the Invidia Q300!

 

any chance Invidia will make a downpipe to mate to this?

looks real good.

 

Can't wait to hear it in person.

 

any chance we can get some more shots of the car.
from a distance and other angles?
really like this exhaust

 

Sure thing...I will get some more for you when I get home from work tonight.

 

Maybe this can help you!

thanks...saw this one too.

 

Thumper...where's that sound clip?

 

I actually made an In-Car one last night...didn't have a chance to upload it yet though. I'm at work, I will do it tonight, I promise!

The video clip was shot with my digital cam made for still shots, so the sound isnt the best. I noticed though that if you don't have a decent set of speakers with good bass, you can hardly tell the sound difference in the video.

 

Remind me when you come out here and I'll shoot some video. I have an in-car camera mount...

 

With a good camera for the vid?? That's what I need...

 

You need a good mic, camera doesn't matter

I have an HD camera we can use, I need a better mic for it though. Radio Shack!

 

Anyone else concerned about the rear valence getting melted with these tips being so close?

IMO this is the best sounding exhaust ive heard on the R56 so far, but im a little nervous based on how the tips look like they're practically touching.

 

It hasn't melted at all yet. Granted, it hasn't been very long, but still.

Also, I think there is a bit more adjustment in it and they might be able to go down a tad. Haven't bothered to try it yet though. I really don't care about it.

You can always trim the rear valence slightly, someone would never even notice that it was done if you did it right.

And you are right...this IS the best sounding exhaust for the R56 that I've heard too!

 

What about filing/sanding it out a little? I know nothing about the material...but wouldn't they be able to take more heat than the average plastic part because it is near the tips?

 

Less talk...more filiming

 

My tips are TOUCHING my rear valance (Like, so close it vibrates against it) and no melting yet, just a little crispy looking. If there's any air buffer at all there's no way the valence is melting . Just not enough radiant heat...

 

Really looking forward to those video clips! I may be interested in buying the Invidia exhaust. I drive a r56 same color as your's and the exhaust dosent look so bad.

 

Ok ok ok!! I got a few clips finally

They were done with a still digital camera, so sound quality isn't the best. Also, if you don't have a decent set of speakers with some bass, you really won't be able to hear it very well at all. The exhaust is definitely on the deeper side of things.
