Post To all JOE Z SERIES EXHAUST owners

I am thinking about buying this type of exhaust, the PTS Joe Z Series. I would like to know three things from all those who have/know about it:

1. How much did you pay (and where from?)
2. How much to install
3. Why you chose it

thanks and shoot me straight!

$1599 - Carson Toyota

1.5 hours of labor to install.

It's the best fitting exhaust on the car. Compared to others its by far best quality I've seen for the ISF and combined with exceptional customer service from JoeZ and Carson.


I promise you won't be disappointed.

1) same price as verals05 stated, but from VIP Auto Salon
2) about two hours (had to wait for a new O2 sensor)
3) heard great reviews about it, fitment was exact, supported a great lexus enthusiast and vendor, and it makes use of the quad exhast diffuser

Clark from VIP and I had many conversations whether to go ahead and get the exhaust, and after initial hesitation (primarily with potential cop trouble), i went ahead and got it. well worth it IMO. you will not regret it one bit! just make sure you don't have it growl near a cop, and you should be fine

Welcome to Club Lexus, too!

Welcome! What part of Texas are you from? Perhaps you can check out a fellow IS F member's exhaust in person locally.

Joez fits perfect. It's easier to install/uninstall than oem. It's lighter. It's made incredibly well. Sounds mean. Adds power. Joes customer service is dead on. The man himself will help every step of the way. Get it thru Carson Toyota. It will tAke the average DIYer less than 2 hours in his driveway. With a lift, less than an hour. Took me and a friend less than 30 minutes after oem exhaust cooled down enough to touch it.

I've been excited about JoeZ products from day 1 that I got my ISF. I have the intake on order right now, but am seriously contemplating the exhaust for the future. The stock exhaust sounds great out of the box, but a little more V8 symphomy wouldn't hurt!

1. 1300, bought it used from a forum member
2. Free, just jacked the car up and did it in the garage with some buddies.
3. Fitment, sound, build quality, and Joe Z is the best!

1. 1200, bought it from another member used.
2. 80 at my corner shop with ramps.
3. to hear the v8 growl and open up.

I had a problem with the exhaust hitting against something underneath the car when I make a right turn. problem was resolved after I pm joe z and went to my shop to adjust it. sound and fitment is spot on.

I'm in the Dallas/Fort Worth area if you're from here and would like to hear/see the exhaust before you purchase it, feel free to let me know

Don't remember what I paid for the exhaust, install was free because I did it at a buddies shop, fitment is perfect, easy to install, looks great from behind (the exhaust that is ), exhaust note is perfect and the gains are some of the best out there

I'm actually interested in purchasing one myself. Do you owners find that the exhaust is loud for daily drive?
