Default No Love from Greddy or HKS

haven't you asked yourself why tuners like greddy or HKS haven't come out with products for the F. It's frustrating that for instance HKS a japanese tuner makes an exhaust for the BMW 335 and nothing for the F.
I guess that Joe Z is and will be very happy since his exhaust is probably the best exhaust on the market. I only wish he had designed a dual exit muffler that would connect to our factory tips.
Joe who will ship your exhaust to Puerto Rico?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think greddy filed for bankruptcy, so no money for R&D

Its ok but from the pictures I have seen it doesn't looked with a fit and finish like for example the Joe Z. I think if greddy offered something similar to the exhaust shown at sema they would have sold a lot of them. HKS has a great exhaust for the GTR wish for something like that for the F

HKS USA has it on their list but they have not made a development plan for the exhaust as yet. The president of Greddy USA has a IS F so he has an interest in seeing products developed for the car.

What it boils down to is demand. There is more demand for products and tuning potential for the GTR, Evo etc. so that's where the money get's spent on R & D. The IS F is a niche market compared to other cars so it's a business decision that determines what comes to market first.

Those are some bad pictures of demo exhuasts. The final product is amazing. there are plenty of us on here that have them on our car and absolutely love them!

I agree with Splat, I run the finished product of the ISS track and its a very refined exhaust. I've also had the other exhausts on my G35 prior to the ISF and the quality is right on par with those bigger manufacturers. Its a good looking product and well made by ISS.

greddy has plans for an exhaust. its just not a high priority part for them since the isf market is so small

i thought they wernt gonna make it unless they get group of 20+ people to buy at once for F... (it was custom Ti exhaust or muffler for 2k?ish) i also remember they believed that the market for the F was not big enough to manufacture them... this was like about a year ago...
