iirc that's 86mm which comes out to be 3.38"... for some that's big. Look at '13~'14 exhaust tips. They were small! lol

Also you don't have to worry bout welding it on. It's just slip on.

Yeah, but to get it to mate to whatever plumbing I end up throwing down there might require a few tacks.

Don't forget, it'll change the performance and sound of the exhaust too, so gotta be careful.

I'm not particularly worried about the performance aspect of it. It's not like we're going to squeeze any appreciable amount of power out of a catback anyways.

Very true. Realistically speaking, catback is waste of money. Only thing you're buying that catback is for is sound. Some ppl pay $1k~$2k to squeeze 2~6hp... While header can produce double or triple of that for almost half of the price lol

Yeah, I'm inclined just to buy the Q300. I only want a little bit more volume and a slightly cleaner sound than my UEL headers + stock everything.

Yup, catback is just tuning for sound. I'll prob keep mine Tanabe single til I get headers and front pipe to see if its loud enough for me. That wont be til next year probably at the earliest.

I was gonna do JDM tips on custom magnaflow set-up that sounded great but decided on the single exit look

The Q300 doesnt add any sound IMO. have you thought of the Perrin resonated or the dual exit FT86SF? Both of those are pretty quiet

I've heard the Perrin resonated with UEL headers. It's on the upper limit of acceptable volume for me. I'm really just looking for something slightly less buzzy than stock, and I've heard the Q300 with headers and it sounds acceptabru.

Issue I have w Q300 is fake burn tip & how tip come out & heavier than stock. Other than that, I looks good.

Also do any of remember FT86SF's discount code? I remembered one of em is forum name... but there's one more for return customer. I used to have that card... but I lost it
