It doesn't have to if applied properly. Last last car was a G35 Coupe with headers and an Invidia full dual exhaust. It had TI burnt tips, and looked good as new on the day I sold it

I'm in the same boat as a few of you. Def want an exhaust, ISS I like but not some much the price tag, joeZ is nice but I haven't heard back from JoeZ (PM him) a while ago.

I understand that a big part is power:money, but for an exhaust a large part of it is the sound and I am sorry but from videos I have seen the borla and joez exhaust with headers just don't sound complete to me. I they sound hollow and weak (this is based on videos and not in person encounters). I have listened to quite a few videos and based on the sound I have ruled them both out on my list of exhausts.

Seeing as there are so little performance mods for this car I feel perfectly fine splurging on an expensive exhaust if it sounds awesome. It is not a cheap car to begin with; hell on the M3 the go to exhaust is Akrapovic and that is 6k new.

That being said I think I want a meisterschaft exhaust, I would forever regret it if I settled for another exhaust based on price when I know I could have afforded an exhaust I personally think sounds perfect.

I couldn't justify the $1000+ price tag for exhausts on the F, so I deleted my 2nd cats and mufflers...I get compliments all the time, but more importantly it makes me happy. I know ISS had a DES axle-back in the works, but that was a pipe dream (pun intended). Would have sounded awesome with no 2nd cats and an aftermarket axle-back, especially with the true dual tips.

Luis at Carson Toyota should be able to answer any questions you have and tell you if any are in stock. Just give him a call!

You need to call them and get a refund if you have been waiting since May. When I ordered my exhaust from them it took maybe 6-7 weeks and it was at my front door.
