I have had my ISS Forged DES system on for about 3 weeks and while it sounds great I have been offered a Joe Z system at a very good price and thinking I may give it a go. From what I have heard the Joe Z has a deeper tone where the ISS is more higher pitched. They both have some drone around 2000rpm but I have come to the conclusion all aftermarket exhausts for ISF has some sort of drone.
Has anyone else switched and Is it really worth it or am I just wasting money?

Agreed there is drone with my Joe Z but I stopped noticing it after the first week. That's just me but drone never really bothered me in the first place. It's the sound of power! If you're still on the fence I can tell you that the F with a Joe Z exhaust has a glorious, baleful howl after hitting 3500RPM. It's more menacing than the DES.

i love my joe z but the only thing thats sells me on the iss forged is that the tips stick out of the bumper to make it a true quad tip exhaust.. but thats about it..other then that if joe z makes his cf tips again damn i would get a few pairs of them bad boys and keep my joe z exhaust..
hint hint joe z

i did the swap and im loving it. granted i had the qes with resonators....i still recomend getting the joez. the qes was loud as hell but with the joez...under 2500 its really quiet..but once i get on it...music to my ears.its more of a professional sound
plus i now have the option of toms or wald rear. yeah u can tweak the iss tips to make it work but the Fs ive seen with that setup the tipd were touching the cf diffuser .

many have persuaded me to turn to the joe Z as well. although it has a "tuned" sort of sound without headers, i have fallen in love with the sound with headers installed. mine should be here this week.

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..
