Borla(axle back and full catback versions)
SRT true dual exhaust
Suruga Speed(jdm brand, axleback section and they made midpipe section as well)
and Tanabe will be coming out soon.

The SRT exhaust is a joke and no one is running their POS intake either

The Borla isn't even a complete exhaust and no one is running their exhaust


And listing an exhaust (Tanabe) that isn't even a complete exhaust either and isn't even in production as an option


And no one has even heard of the "JDM" Suruga Speed

Well u did ask "isn't the Joe Z PTS exhaust the only one on the market? So i aswered your question and these are ones on the market as of today. Also how is Borla not complete? Go to there website there are two versions of it. One axle back for street and other being full cat back like the Joe Z for offroad use.

Nope. Borla recently released theirs not too long ago. There are a few options out there. Joe Z/PTS by far is the best out there imho.

Awesome Sound! It almost sounds similar to my wife's SLK. I'm sure this has been asked already, is there a kit available for the GS crowd?

Sorry for resurfacing an old thread but I wanted to say I have had the exhaust about 1 1/2 years and it still sounds awesome thanks Joe.

Guys, I suggest you start a new thread to discuss the ISS Forged exhaust so we keep this one on topic. Thanks

I just found time to put the car on the lift and install the exhaust.

One word sums up my afterthoughts.

WOW.

From my experience and maybe Joe can chime in, but all of you who have had the PTS exhaust greater than a year, has the sound gotten louder? In the late 90s, I had a Greddy exhaust on my JR Honda and then a Tanabe, and in both cases, after a couple of years, the sound insulation or whatever that's part of the muffler that affects sound, began to loose function and the sound just became real loud and annoying. I wonder if anyone can give some feedback on this with their setup.

Brand new here (1st post). Got rid of the 08 Corvette last night and snagged a CPO 08 ISF. Love what I've read on the Joe Z exhaust - Anyone in the Mid Atlantic area have one and/or know a good place to find one?
