Mike how is the sound inside the car compared to Stock? I ask as I just did something similar on the GS (full set up) since there is nothing for this car and its still pretty quiet inside the car. Is it the same inside the ISF with the JoeZ? I was expecting to hear more in the car but this car is sound proof. I would like to hear yours in person and compare to what I did.
Hit me up when you guys meet up for more video of this please.

I can't speak for the Borla from an in car perspective b/c we didn't do any cruising when we met up. But with the Joe-Z, you definitely know what is under the hood whether you're driving or spectating. At certain RPM's the cabin noise is different, sounds, volumes etc... You'll understand what I'm talkin bout at our next Chicago meet. The videos don't do either system justice, again, you'll understand when you hear in person.
cant wait to hear them both!!!

Almost a year later but I wasn't able to find a definitive answer... Since the Borla system has an axle-back option, I would think it is not as loud as the JoeZ exhaust.
Was anyone able to compare these two side by side? Is the Borla any quieter from inside the cabin?

Dre1615, I see your old car quite often in my driveway! 
(my friend bought your ride)
Nice comparo, fun to hear both cars next to each other. I know maybe 10 local IS-F owners and pretty much they all run JoeZ exhausts. The one guy who ran the Borla cat back took it off the next day and sold it since it drones too loud.....
Whatcha driving now?

hey guys the borla axle back vid. was of my car. I had just installed a few days before so was still not broken in. After @ 300-500 mi the sound became much deeper and more aggressive. There is some drone around 70-72 mph in 8th gear but not a big deal. The Joe Z is a terrific product but after taking a ride in DREs car it was a little to loud for me. The Borla axle back was a great compromise and after almost 2 yrs. still lovin it. Cheers
