Thank You

Alive and kicking well...... It's just that the majority of ISx50's members go for axle backs first and then eventually add mid-pipes


We released the True Dual system for the ISx50 back in June 2008.. need a link ??

Well I am planning getting it in spring time... the slight drone you are experiencing is it annoying for the passengers whom that might be wife or GF? Plus did you do the intake as well...?

One question I forgot to ask. Do I need to reset the ECU? I only have the exhaust, no intake.

I just had it installed today, so my wife have not experienced it yet. Also, based on what Joe said, I'm hoping it'll tone down after the break-in. If it stayed like this, I would definitely consider the back seat & trunk sound proofing. But don't get me wrong, it's a sweet sound.

Thank you for the quick response....

Honestly, I haven't heard any droning. It's quite bearable for daily driving. I remember when Clark at VIP Auto Salon was helping me decide whether I should purchase the exhaust. I was fearful that it would be too loud, but after the break in period, it has toned down considerably. I really miss the sound before it was toned down, though.

The Joe Z exhaust will settle down and will be bearable after that.

I didn't reset the ECU at all. Just installed it and drove it away!
