Invidia has just released two new exhausts for the 2012 Civic Si Sedan and Coupe. Both look amazing IMO.

The Invidia Q300 Exhaust is designed for customers who want a "mild" street exhaust, with a deep sporty tone that isn't too loud. Amazingly though, the Q300 still produces great power gains.

The Invidia N1 Exhaust is more aggressive, in both looks and sound. It is geared more towards all-out power, and the gains are more noticeable at higher RPMs. Plus, it comes with a nice looking burnt titanium tip.

For more information about each exhaust, follow the links below:

The images are actually from a 2DR Si application (I believe), but the 4DR and the 2DR look virtually identical.

Hey Guys,

I have a question that i hope someone can help with. I have the invidia N1 on my 2015 fg4. It was rattling so i bought new hangers and that seemed to fixed my issue. However, a couple months later the rattling came back? I attached an image of where the exhaust seems to rattle. My car is lowered on coilovers? could that have anything to do with the issue?


Thanks.

Most likely the exhaust is rubbing the rear spring. My full race system did that on my tein coilovers. The rear spring is wider diameter than stock.

After 3 years with the Q300 my feelings are pretty mixed.

The Positive:
Ideal exhaust for a daily driver. It stays pretty quiet in town when you want to be discrete, and when you're driving hard it provides a nice subtle baritone to compliment the screaming vtec induction sound.

The piping itself is very high quality. After 3 years of salty NY winters the exhaust hasn't even developed surface rust (except on the gaskets.)

The Negative:
The design of the Invidia exhausts causes significant droning at 3k RPM especially off throttle, this can be irritating on long highway drives.

As many others have discussed, the axleback will rattle against the heat shield when the exhaust gets hot.

The midpipe hangs extremely low. If you're even moderately lowered (~2 in) this will scrape pretty often. I'd imagine the stance people probably can't even use this exhaust.

Gasket's have a very short life span. I didn't expect to have a gasket fail within a few years of ownership. Not a huge deal, but not really acceptable at this price point.

Overall I'm happy with the Q300. Its a much nicer sound than stock that won't get you in trouble with your neighbors or the police. That said, I get the impression that Invidia rushed to make the Q300 compatible with our cars and left some pretty annoying oversights. The result is a very high quality exhaust with a few low quality problems.
