More louder means more official attention when trying to get away with something on a public road. I learned my lesson years ago. Silence is stealth, and anything you do to stand out from "normal" traffic will get you tickets, including more louder.

I agree with Lobux, but I tend to go with a nice exhaust note. To each their own, your car and your tickets.

I agree. Cops will be all over your ***. I used to trip out with the stock exhaust after 4 years in an LS460 and then realizing the oem noise is mostly channeled into the cabin and sounds pretty tame from the outside . Even an after market exhaust will make enough noise to announce your intentions as you rip through traffic.

I've got the Joe Z exhaust and plan on PPE headers in the spring. I like the loudness and announcing my car...it turns heads.
Yes, including the wrong heads. Yesterday I gunned it from a stop to the speed limit of 40 and saw in rear view mirror a cop hauling a** to get right up on my bumper and tail me for awhile. I had to laugh since he had no reason to pull me over. I think he was just jealous...lol

There was a recent local news story about a family who almost died of carbon monoxide poisoning after parking their toyota minivan in their basement garage and forgetting to shut it off.
Loud pipes save lives.

The point was that ARK doesn't produce a 'GRIP' exhaust for the IS-F, smartypants.

I know. I was just making a joke about how the OP thought that he had an ISF.
