I agree with iSuxel as far as price is concerned with people buying it or not. But from a regular consumer stand point if you just want a nice sound then you can almost get any exhaust. For me though, I like the performance and the quality of the JoeZ. Not saying that F-Sport is by any means any less quality, but you get what you pay for in the JoeZ. You get the excellent build and the proven performance gain and you get the great service for the price that you pay.
No one is gonna bash you if you dont get the JoeZ... its your money, do what you please... Not everyone has that much money to spend on an exhaust.

Man that JOEZ does look real nice but 1,700 is alot of money for an exhaust. I probably wouldnt mind spending the money if I was going to mod my car out but all I wanted was a little extra noise thats all no performance I have my Supra to get all fast out of me =). But it is quite a beautiful exhaust ver good quality from the pcitures I am seeing. But I am most likely going to buy the HKS F-Sport
1. lexus part (so when I go to sell it it doesnt bring down the value more hopefully)
2. Price is a big one I might just get a slight used one off Ebay for 800
Thank you for all your help guys and picture it is ver much appreciated and for anybody looking for true power from your car the JOEZ is really the best way to go.

Yes its true..
High Flow CATs are pretty expensive. Especially the CARB certified ones.
That’s why there is a $200 difference between Street & Race versions.
Any who, we will be happy with any aftermarket exhaust you choose to purchase..
Don't forget Tanabe, HKS, Greddy and a few more other companies sell just the rear axle sections in the $600-700 price range..
You can usually find a good used one in our 2IS classifieds area too, for less..
Also, you won't have to worry about the value of your car if you keep the stock exhaust to swap back, when you decide to sell your car.
Regards,
Joe Z

One thing about the F Sport. I read a few times on here the exhaust primarily only comes out of one pipe. So one gets a lot dirtier than the other. I'm not that into cosmetics but this drove me nuts on my Z06 with the Corsa setup. The outer pipes would get blackened but the center pipes only got used at higher RPM and thus were much cleaner despite the fact I autox and tracked it.

Joe Z without a doubt.
Support a fellow 2IS owner. And all the things that I have heard about Joe's products have been positive. His products usually provide the best bang for your buck in terms of gain and quality. Can't go wrong with Joe Z!

If you're looking bang for the buck just get a used tanabe for 400-500 bucks. It'll add the same 7 hp every other catback does without being obnoxiously loud.
If you have to have every last possible hp regardless of cost on the other hand the Joe Z is a beautiful, high quality product with a very nice sound to it.
