How does the iss track exhaust compare soundwise with the joez? Which is louder? Assuming stock headers are used.

I would say it has a deeper "growl" to it. Also if you guys need a price, I would PM Fitment Factory for your needs.

I wish I had a REal world side by side comparison for sound. Video is so deceiving.

Wow, that exhaust sounds amazing.

mikefate

quick question. why is an "X" section used on the exhaust? wouldnt it flow better as straifght pipes rather than the "X"? or is the "X" section structural? very curious.

I've read that some folks stated the stock exhaust tips act as diffusers.... Do these tips remove that function?

yes....... will the isf ever have enough power and top speed for that to be noticed no....

I read they only become functional at around 130+mph.... As I laid in bed wondering how often I thought I'd be going 130+, I concluded the stock exhaust tips have no fawkin value to someone like me at all as I'll never hit those speeds. Not even in the 1/4 mile. LOL

I think it would be a lot better if your exhaust can connect to the OEM exhaust tip, because it looks really awkward with the current exhaust tip

ISS had a company come in to do a video/promotional shoot a few months back and still waiting.......

ISS will have another company coming in a few days to start the video recording process again, stay tuned!!

I presume the company is taking video to show that the exhaust "diffusers" being removed has no negative imact on the rear end lifting off the ground and taking flight?

Guys I've removed a couple of inappropriate personal comments. Please keep this thread on topic, thanks.

I feel dumb quoting myself.....but I have to say I've had joez exhaust on my car about 6 months or so. Loved it. My only gripe was the stock exhaust tips, which I didn't like. So I bought an iss exhaust. Just swapped it out. Have some good and some bad comments. First, I found the joez packaging for shipping far better. I was missing hardware from both the joez and the iss, so no winners there. I had a few missing bolts and nuts from each. No biggie, just annoying. Finish and welds are both pretty dan good. I'd say advantage Joez though. I had a lot of residue inside and around iss piping. Should have been cleaned up prior to shipping. Fitment is hands down going to joez. Iss hits several areas of heat shield under car. Had to remove one to keep from rubbing and rattling. Overall, they are both very well made. I'd say advantage to joez. If only they made an optional oem tip removal and dual exhaust. I'd say it comes down to preference on stock tips to be honest. Also, the burnt tips on the iss were a little bit of a letdown. It's very ununiform. Hard to see on the car though, so I can deal with it. As far as sound, they seem the same at idle. But once you get on it under load, iss is much louder with more of a snarl. Joez seems to be a deeper, smoother sound transition as you progress thru rpm's. Iss turns heads. It sounds like you just unleashed a pit bull that's been on a gunpowder diet. It's like all hell broke loose. I love it. So for me, sound advantage totally to iss. For me, n/a gains are never much to brag about. From my old is300 with pointless boltons, to the isf with boltons, none are tremendous gains. So for me exhaust is an aesthetic gain. I'm happy with my transition. Hope this helps if noobs are debating iss and joez.
