OK I stand corrected.... The system weighs 71lbs out of the box.... Thanks Paul for weighing the system. I'm glad I am not the only one up at this time

The stock system weighs 73lbs and the tips weigh 5lbs putting the stock exhaust at a wopping 78lbs. We don't use the stock tips so if you wanted to compare our exhaust to the Joe-Z exhaust there is a 2lb difference.

not bad for a bunch of newbies....

Ooops sorry for the mistake.

To the track system no..... We will be Tig Welding them and adding Matt Black ceramic coating option. As soon as we have pics of the Matt Black pipes we will post them.

caymandrive thanks for the heads up. If you would like a system pm me and I will hook it up with free shipping.

Wow I'm surprised there's not any more of a weight savings. I was hoping for the 40-50lb range. Still a great looking exhaust.

They are not Titanium... If it would be the cost would significantly higher to the end user....

I know how it works. My point is the bumber in the pic is only a bumper. It doesn't go under the car to make a flat under body and it does not have fins where they need to be. It's all for looks. It would be nice if someone would make a real one...

Maybe you were thinking of the OEM exhaust? The PTS system weighs 64 lbs...

Will the street version pass smog check in CA (including visual)? Any plans to get it certified for CA? This would solve the major issue stopping me from getting any of the other available systems.

Rememnber the JoeZ system doesn't bring the tips so the tips weigh 5lbs that you have to add to their system. The Joez system is a great system don't get me wrong but if you would like to compare apple to apples you have to add the parts we take off the car to their system,

You're still not within two pounds of the PTS system.

How is he not? Joe-Z pipes dont account for the two tips at 5lbs each. That means the Joe-Z system is actually 74lbs.

No, they weigh 5 lbs TOGETHER, not each. 64 + 5 = 69, not 74.

Exactly the tips weigh 5lbs together... our system weighs 71lbs so the difference is 2 lbs.

OK so I need to come out and say this. We could have built a product just like the Joe-Z exhaust, gone after same customer base and try to compete against them... But we didn't. We introduced something completely different to give ISF owners a choice. If you don't like our tips then the system I recommencement to use is the JoeZ exhaust. It looks like a great exhaust and they seem to have done their homework. If you want something different then the stock tips... ISS Forged is the way to go. There are pros and cons to both systems but both ISS Forged and Joe-Z make a great product. We are even looking to add the Joe-Z Intake pipe to some of our customers car to see the gains as I respect their product and will not be making an intake pipe like that. Both system are completely different and are this product fills a void for ISF owners.

Our system is 2lbs heavier then the Joe-Z system.

Our system is louder then the Joe-Z system

Our system makes more Power then the Joe-Z System.

Our System does not use the stock Tips.

Our system has A Smog Test pipe ( Coming Soon )

I hope this help clearing things up with everyone trying to make a direct comparison to the Joe-Z system. Both product are here to expand the ability of your ISF and are great quality product.
