Default Joe Z exhaust is on after one week :)

Well I ordered the full Joe Z exhaust the day after I got my IS-F. I had time to put it on today and I'm pretty impressed with it. The car did sound good stock. But not it really sounds amazing. I thought it sounded good on the videos I had researched before buying. But videos do not compare to how good it sounds in person. I went to my friends exhaust shop to have him help me bolt it up. He is a Magnaflow dealer and was impressed with the quality and sound of this exhaust system. There is no drone when cruising and sounds mean as hell when i get on it. Had so many looks driving the car home haha. I don't think people expect this sound coming from this car. I know you have all seen it before but I took some pics.

Stock..


Joe Z...

Another satisfied customer. Joe is definitely a great guy, and without his and PTS' R&D, I don't know if there was any way of making this beast sound any greater by utilizing those stock tips. What are your next mods planned?

I'm actually very happy with how the car is now. But I want a nice set of coilovers and some multi piece wheels. And yea Joe is the ****!

Car/ exhaust looks great! I love the Midpipe/ x-pipe set up. Its the one part of the Joe Z exhaust that puts the ISS Forged to shame. Joe Z is definitely very high quality IMO. The more and more I look at it The more the universal X-pipe on the ISS looks extremely cheap. If Joe Z had real tips.....Game over for all others.

Both xpipe set ups flow the same and people are making a little more power with the Iss forged set up I thought? O well sweet car and post some videos of this animal in action!!

I recently installed the Joe Z intake pipe and just by doing that i noticed a difference on the high end.. Now i just need to figure out putting down whopping $2K w/out my wife knowing for the exhaust unless Joe Z would have an group buy discount.

Congrats on the beast! I saw a car with a JoeZ exhaust in person the other day and it sounds amazing. The youtube videos are good but don't do it justice.

Yea you really need to hear in person to see how great it sounds. Videos just don't capture it the same.

Oh no your right they both perform great, its all the looks and the non manufactured generic x pipe that makes the Joe z mid pipe/ x pipe look beautiful.

I was going to wait a few months to a year before getting an exhaust.

However, a group buy would quickly change my mind
