Hey, everyone, I'm new here and this is my first thread. I just installed an Invidia q300 in my 2014 is250 and reason why I got it I read that it was a quiet exhaust just a little louder than stock but i notice it is actually pretty loud especially at 2500rpm. Should I have gone with a Tanabe Medallion exhaust if I'm looking for an exhaust that is a bit quieter? I want a nice settle growl when accelerating since stock is too quiet even at high RPMs

You're right. I placed my order for a Q300 and did research on the invdia site the part number i ordered matched up but the seller on ebay sent me the q300h and told me thats the only one that invdia makes for this vehicle.

i just contacted Invidia and they informed me that part number for the q300 HS13L1SG3S is the only option q300 exhaust for my vehicle unless i wanted burnt tips. Basically all q300 exhaust for 3rd gen lexus is250/350 is a q300h

i guess you can say loud drone at 2500 rpm. Even at low rpm there is a slight drone which is normal even tho some people claim the q300 does not drone while cruising. i can verify that it does drone while crusing haha

Sound is so subjective pending the person. So is it loud only on acceleration or cruising at that rpm? I have the same q300 axleback and it will growl when you go full wide open throttle but that's it. The few threads I found about drone seem to happen under load and at a certain rpm. Does it drone in all modes i.e. Sport, Sport+ or Eco mode? I'm starting to think the drone is more apparent on the 250's rather than the 350's.

Post a video. I surprise that you say axle back exhaust is loud. I have JoeZ axle back, Invidia midpipe and Fsport intake. There's drone at 2500-2700 rpm when I had only JoeZ axle back, and drone at 2100-2300 rpm when midpipe added.
It's not really loud when you get used to it. Here's my cold start clip (trimmed):

Thank you for posting that clip. My invidia axle back arrives tomorrow and I'm really looking forward to putting it on. I decided to start with the Axle back to see how it sounds. Last week I installed the aFe Takeda intake and that alone sounds awesome, but really only at higher rpm, but guessing I don't need to state that. Anyway I know this is an old post but If anyone has the takeda and an axle back I'd love to know your opinion on if it's worth going in for the midpipe. I've got a '15 is250 awd, not f-sport. Midpipe I'm considering is either Apexi or invidia. I'm not trying to make my car annoyingly loud, just louder haha.
Also does just the axle back do anything for performance? .

Ive had my Invidia q300 axelback on for a while now, and i love it, but Its not loud enough for me. I turn some heads when i keep my revs low, but i want to straight up scare some people LOL. The axelback adds such a minuscule amount of power it is unnoticeable. However the increased airflow does add a small amount of power.
