Wondering if you will be selling just the Mid pipes as obviously some of us will have already had the axle back part. If so is there a set price yet for the mid pipes or an approximate?

There are plans to sell it for those that bought the axle back already for people to upgrade. Date on releasing it isn't confirmed yet and pricing not set in stone, but most likely it will be around the $900 mark to make an axleback into a complete catback.

Ok, I know I promised you the video, but the traffic was so bad today that I just could not make anything worth listening to. For now, I'm posting the pictures, but I will make a video (hopefully tomorrow)

The fitment is great guys. I already told Joe Z about it.

I can vouch for how great this exhaust sounds in person. What would you expect? Its made by Joe-z and PTS. Only the best coming from the dynamic duo.

Very nice work. Here is what the factory AWD exhaust looks like in comparison:

City driving is not too bad. Actually it's a lot like the axle back, but louder. You do not hear that deep note driving 25 miles an hour, you definitely hear the exhaust, but it sounds more like an axle back. However, when you step on the gas, that's when it really comes alive. t.

I'm still adjusting to it, and I can't seem to find under what RPM it sounds best. It seems that after 5rpms the sound disappears completely, you only hear the engine at that point.

There is drone. That's something you just have to live with. Is it bad? No, but we all have different ears and nervous systems. To some this may be nothing, to others it may seem unbearable.

But its definitely worth it.

Does the Joe Z have a X over between the two pipes? I cannot tell If the factory one has any cross over from the picture. The Joe Z certainly looks like there is a X pipe built in.

It also seems the secondary cats are replaced by resonators. I assume those are straight through resonators?

Please excuse the buzzing sound in the second part of the video. My iPhone was vibrating and creating that buzzing noise.
