And to be honest I have never seen another isf in the five years since they came out, must be rare in ct. But hoping to get to dover so I can hear all the different setups

Borla sounds great to me..very deep sound..odd to me most people seem to think its quiet..and I really wanna add headers but I'm thinking it might be to loud..the other night with six inches of snow in my drive way I got stuck and I really wanted to get it in the garage ...and my neighbor the next day says to me "thanks for waking me up, you must have been stuck in your driveway. BTW your exhaust sounds awesome..

I am very happy that I went with the JoeZ and still loving it every time I drive the car. I have heard the ISS in person more than once. The ISS sounds good too but has kind of a raspy-ness to it or a raw sound. The JoeZ is just very deep and unique. I like the ISS tips but it still doesn't look complete to me. The tips don't fill up the big opening like the stock tips with the mesh do.

Thanks for all the feedback, JoeZ seems to be very popular here (admitedly we don't have that many options), I think I'll give it a go. My main concern is the drone as im in car all day but like I mentioned previously, all aftermarket ISF exhausts seem to have some sort of drone/resonance around 1500-2500rpm when accelerating normally.
If I get this I would have had 3 exhausts in 4 months or 4 if you include the factory system! Try explain that to your wife:-)
Is the JoeZ quite when just cruising on highway in 8th? The ISS is almost silent at 100 kph (60mph).

I have the Borla catback and I'm very tempted too. The Borla is nice, it's very mild and almost no drone, but at higher revs, the JoeZ undoubtedly sounds better. There's this reverberation at high revs that the JoeZ has, but the Borla sounds a bit too high-pitched at high revs.
I'm still tossing it up, while I love the sound of the JoeZ, the Borla has very little drone.

Maybe wait until I work out which I prefer as ill have JoeZ and ISS system. I think both the ISS and JoeZ are acceptable when it comes to drone. The ISS is silent when cruising not sure about JoeZ at this stage though. As you know I had the Borla axle back before and think that droned a lot, everyone has different opinions on drone though.

I've had the Borla cat back on my car now for about a month or so, and I am pretty happy with it. It does sound nice and deep, and much more pronounced than the stock exhaust. On the road, I do think it drones a little, but only from about 1,700-2,000 rpm. It really only annoys me when I am cruising around on the highway in 8th, and when accelerating, it seems like it takes forever to clear those revs. (Dropping down into 7th stops this completely) A minor compliant from me, and one that I have heard becomes actually better with the addition of headers. But as it has been said, everyone has their own tolerances for droning, and spending over an hour a day on the highway in my car, mine happens to be on the very low end.
