joe z exhaust install
hey guys for those that installed it themselves. I took off the front section of the exhuast but it wont come down cause of 2 cross beams. theres one that is a flat piece and another one that is tubular. I took off the flat piece as though it is self explanatory where it is connetced, but the circular tube i have no idea where to unbolt it
how the hell do you takw that off so i can get this crap *** exhuast off.

Perhaps a qualified mechanic or someone with the right tools can help you do the job. Installing that exhaust isn't really a one man deal. Since you're local in the South Bay, maybe you can take it to nearby Exact Motorsports to get it installed?

well i finally finsihed the install. ok first thing.
THIS IS NOT A 1 PERSON JOB AHHHHHHH!
i am sore,bruised,tired,exhausted. this install was a bia*^% to do.especially without help, and without a lift.
well i fired her up and HOLLY HELL! what the hell, how could a car sound so disgustingly sexy. JESUS OF ALL THATS GOOD, this is the sweetest thing in the world. i cant explain, you need to hear this in person, the videos on youtube dont do it justice.

He is the man,every email you send him he send you back a response within 3 hours and even at times within the hour. customer service is top notch, cant get any better. he has been very helpful and very patient with all my emails.

oh yeah, it's a 1 man job alright.
IF you are a pro and have the right tools (i.e. pneumatics)
IF you have a hydraulic lift
and
IF you have wind up stands to support the exhaust
however, yes, it is the sexiest thing you have ever heard with a Lexus badge on it.... matter of fact i find myself putting it in neutral at red lights just to hear the engine....screw the stereo.

It's nice to hear you like it. Sorry about the tough install, it is definitely a two person job but it is all worthwhile 
Have you driven around yet or just started it up? 
Like mytylex said, now it's time for the Joe Z intake from Clark

The exact reason why I would throw down 100 bucks and have a grease monkey with a lift spend an hour and do it for me.

Well I gave in and ordered mine today... with all the chaos of how great it is I'm going to join the rest of you!!
Do you think I will still need to purchase the special tool for the O2 sensor or should a local exhaust/muffler shop have them?

Just bought this at my local autozone for $10. Hope it works. Won't know until I get my exhaust ordered and try to remove the sensor.

for those who have this exhuast? isnt it too loud for you? i drove the car 2 times now on the street and god its loud. I dont think i could live with it, it is just way over the top loud and with some drone. Dont you guys get pulled over by the cops cause it is soooo loud? if this doesnt get any quieter significantly i dont think i can live with it. its like the invidia cat back for my s2000, it was way tooo loud that i returned it within driving my s2000 for 4 blocks.
