what you guys think of the Invidia Q300 Cat back?

I am tempted to get this for my 2011 STi sedan would like to know what you guys think of it?

From looking at this pic makes me wonder if it will melt the bumper or not.

I think it looks pretty sweet. Unless you have some pretty serious mods planned, I highly doubt that it will melt your bumper. It's a Subaru, not a Viper.

I doubt it would melt the bumper -- there's a fair amount of space between the tips and the bumper.

actually it may melt sione, cause the legacies have an issue of that same catback melting the bumpers on our cars. i mean if thats the case just take it to a local welder have them cut and move the mufflers to a desired location.

Its going to sound really close to stock.. Why spend $850 on something to sound stock? I've seen this exhaust on a car here in PA. So quiet..

Oh, and the video you found is for the Titanium tipped catback.

It's the same thing only difference is you get titanium tips instead of stainless tips. Same sound. Quiet to you may be loud to anybody else different perceptions of quiet.. I had an SPT and people say that thing sounds stock, but it sounded a lot louder to me.

I told you man, the invidia is nice. You should get it.........if your bumper starts melting then Ill just fabricate a carbon fiber lip trim piece for you.

Also, if you get extended exhaust hangers, that just means your exhaust will be sitting lower. Depending on how much you want to lower the car, it might/will eventually scrape.
