Lightbulb Installed: PTS Exhaust-Joe Z series Race Performance w/pics

Hey guys / gals...

This morning I had the pleasure of helping Doug "ddquach" install his new exhaust... He decided to go with the PTS Exhaust-Joe Z series "Race Performance"
Which is the version with no secondary CATs...

I am sure he will be able to give you all some feedback on the race version that many of you have been waiting for..
I know I can tell you it sounds just a tad bit deeper than my "Street Performance" system.. but it was kinda masked by the blowoff valve & supercharger he is currently running..

We took a bunch of pics and I am posting them up for him..

Also, this is the 1st Race version installed & the 1st system installed with a car that is running a Rear Lip attached to the oem bumper.

Enjoy

Joe Z

Thank You

Not at the moment... We need to get an AWD model on the lift to spec out some changes on the Front section of this exhaust system... I think the Mid & Rear sections will fit with out any modifications...

oo it'd be great if you could get an awd version. up here in boston, almost EVERYONE drives the AWD model except for maybe five people. yeah i spot for other IS drivers haha.

so yeah if you could work out an exhaust for the awd, put me in line to get it keep us updated

if you look at the other post by joe, the gains are 10-12hp on a 350 with this race version. the street version has gains of about 8-10hp. if i remember right, it was 1499 and 1699 respectively.

That looks awesome Joe, and also answers another question I had.

How far do the exhaust tips extend with rear lip.

Looks fantastic! I also like the look of DDQuach's CF trunk - too bad the fitment is a bit off.

I noticed this also...almost looks like the trunk may not have been closed all the way??

I though Doug was getting rid of the car
