Regarding the loudness of the Q, I took about 30 minutes of video today with clean audio that I'm just sorting through a the moment. It's really apparent just how loud it is even from the passenger seat.
I'll post it as soon as it's done converting.
Next up will be the QRs.

Theta-Much better now! I can not tell you what a difference the coilovers and sway bars make! I absolutely recommend you get the coilovers to go with the sway bars you already have. Sway bars help a ton but the whole kit really maximizes their performance.

Theta,
I am not sure I know what you're asking. It is however the base kit installs with the Qr valve. There isn't a filter on it that I remember seeing.

@ C7&7, did you have it done as a bypass or just VTA with a filter? Bypass is way too quiet.
@ thegame, Q is loud in bypass and low-load in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th. Cruising in 3rd (low-load 2000-2500rpm) is really painful even with duals. If you have one of those little two-land bridges over a creek to test on, by 3500 when you're really moving air, it's ear-shatteringly loud (not exaggerating here).
I will install the QRs with filters this weekend and try to take a vid before/after.
@ Elite '14, are we getting too far off-topic here? I can always start another thread and move the convo there.

If that's the Q, then that's not doing it justice. If that's the QR, then I'd be happy with that level of noise. Sounds about the same as my open-filter turbo cars using BPVs.
I was going to ask who did your tune because I liked the decel popping, but then I realized it was Mike.
I need to look at my DFCO tables - would love more burble like that.
