I had Borla and now I have Joe Z. Everyone from my installer to my wife said the Joe Z is much louder than Borla at least while driving around. Joe Z is louder at idle but not by too much. Personally I don't think my Joe Z/PPE Header combo is too loud but some might. I've said it before, Borla is a "wife approved" exhaust and Joe Z usually is not

Joez is the system to go with, made for our cars, yes borla was developed for our cars as well. But Joe Z is a member of the community and only builds for the lexus brand. This is my opinion. I went with the Joe Z and have not ever thought about parting ways with it. Sound is amazing, performance is best of all brands IMO

I had this same debate about which exhaust to get. I ended up getting a Borla because i do plan to get headers which would increase the sound. Joe Z sounds amazing and if i didn't plan for headers i would of went that route. For me Joe Z and headers would be to loud. Cant go wrong with either one just personal preferences on noise levels.

I went with Borla for a few reasons..
1. Price: It was ~$600 cheaper than Joe-Z
2. Easy to get: There are a ton of Borla distributors, talked to a local shop and it was there a few days later
3. Noise: Borla was the quietest of the cat back exhausts
Now I will say JoeZ no doubt has higher quality, (you get what you pay for) but I also dont feel that Borla is crap by any means. I think JoeZ goes above and beyond what is actually needed...
You really cant go wrong with either.. should come down to sound and budget.
