Default JIC VIP Exhaust

How come there doesn't seem to be very many 3rd Gen GS' running this exhaust? Seems like everyone runs the Tanabe. Is it due to the cost of the JIC?

Pretty much. Easy decision for me. Plus I love the way the tips look on the Tanabe, and it's not too obnoxious either.

For me..it is the cost I'm not even running anything but I'll be going for tanabe after I get money for my rims/coil or springs from my first job ever!!!!!


nvm just googled how it looked and I like how the tanabe tips look more.

I bought my JIC new for the same price as a new Tanabe....actually, a few dollars cheaper than Tanabe. You just gotta know where to look.

Lack of marketing and customer feedback is why no one has it on their car! Simple.

How do you figure "lack of marketing"?......JIC is true JDM! you mean to tell me that many people have never heard of JIC?

I'll be honest, I've never heard of JIC. I've heard tanabe a whole lot more. I'm not exactly new to the whole care scene but I'm far from being expert. In a lot forums I've been in tanabe seems to be more synonymous with Lex/Toy but that's just from my experience only. IMO I like the tanabe more (after googling) just because it is a little more subtle and I am not much of an attention getter.
