3is350 awd non Fsport stock exhaust. Cannot decide on ark grip cat back exhaust or invidia q300 with invidia mid pipe. I have not heard either in person only audio clips online. It sounds like the ark is more quiet than the invidia. I've never had a performance exhaust on a vehicle. I daily my 3is and don't want a tinny ricer sound. I want a deep aggressive growl with little to no drone in cabin. The ark cost more and I'm leaning for toward the ark because of the saying, " you get what you paid for". Let me know what you peeps think. All comments are welcome.

The lady has the Invidia catback on hers.
Word of caution, the exhaust itself actually fell off of the rubber hangar bushings while she was driving and subsequently caused her whole rear end of the exhaust to drag on the ground while she was driving. We had to weld "stoppers" on the ends of the hangars to prevent this from happening. Not sure if anyone else that has this exhaust experienced this issue - though doubtful since I have never seen a post like that come up. I'll end up switching the tips out on hers since the edges got messed up.
My two cents, her exhaust sounds nice, it's not too loud but if you want a little more "umph", I recommend going with the midpipe that you can get from Invidia as well, sounds amazing with it.

Dude your 3is looks fantastic. Can you share links of rims and rear diffuser? Also if you have a mod list to stir up some creativity, that would be awesome.

Thanks bro! I had it since 2014 but my car has under 10k miles lol. It’s my weekend car lol. I can say I still love it as much as the day it was installed. It’s quiet on idle. But when you hit the gas you hear it nicely. To me it’s not ricey and not obnoxiously loud unless your flooring it. I do have the full system with midpipe along with a greddy intake.
