RC300h replacement exhausts

[Littorio]

Enjoying my RC300h F-Sport but have been looking at replacement exhausts as even a bit of noise would be nice from the 4 pot.

Now I've found this Invidia Q300tl-s axle back that fits without changing the rear bumper, has anyone had or got any experience with this? Think it also looks better than the standard two pipe exhaust.

Did you notice this?

*Not ABE/ECE approved

I believe this technically means it's not road-legal. However I doubt this system is mega loud since it's just an axle-back, so it ought to avoid any scrutiny.

Not too worried about the ABE

Quote "ABE stands for “Allgemeine Betriebserlaubnis“. This is mainly issued in Germany for a certain component like, e.g., special wheels, springs, sport-type exhaust systems etc. As long as the installation or attachment instructions therein have been complied with, the car’s operating licence remains valid. Always carry the component’s ABE with you in your car so that you can show it to the police when asked for it."

I doubt any after market exhaust would meet ECE

"An ECE approval does more or less correspond to an ABE but is valid all over Europe. No TÜV inspection or entry in the vehicle documents is required since the after-market parts’ specs are in line with OE-Standards. The advantage over an ABE: No documents have to be carried, since the components themselves bear a control number."

Seen a few posts where others have fitted Invidia but not seen a post of one fitted to a RC300h as yet.

Hi Littorio, 

 

I have the invidia quad exhaust fitted on my white 2019 RC300h, looks very nice, and is not to noisy. Love it. 

And it is very easy to install.
