or Greddy PE @ $620 donno if 136mm available for gs or its 115mm tips. (need 2 know)
I also have the SRT Intake + ECU.

my thoughts
considering i have never heard the jic exhaust and have a greddy on my vehicle, i would recommend the greddy. i was pleased with the sound and looks. i would think a larger tip would not look so appealing. the greddy was a good choice for me imo

Jic is the exhaust from the v300 TT. It just so happens that it fits the Gs400 perfectly. Its a full cat-back system and looks pretty crazy.
I don't know about the HP gain or sound, but from what i hear its quiet. ((2.3 inch pipes))
Tell me what you think guys.

ackk... 2.3???
I'm curious... is this JIC Bullet system you're referring to made of titanium? If it is, you're going to have one of the lightest along with the most "colorful" exhaust systems for the GS.
If you're planning to go forced induction later on, I'd rather go with the Greddy system due to the better piping size- 70mm. In case you stay N/A, that 2.3in. is fine, but don't expect too much gains because that sounds close to stock size piping.
Another thing to keep in mind... contrary to popular belief, backpressure is a myth. Yes, a little bit of it is necessary, but it's a rule mainly for the N/A's, because no matter what, an exhaust system will always cause your car to lose power on the low end, but it usually gets it back on the higher end if it's designed correctly.
As for forced induction (I'm guessing you've got some kind of f/i plans in the future because of your screen name), 3in piping exhaust systems are the "minimum." Keeping these things in mind when choosing will save you lots of money and trouble later on.

Titanium for under $1000? No way. You won't even get full stainless for that price. I'd say go for Greddy. Cheaper and good design. The JIC will be louder judging by the tiny mufflers.

the small piping will make up for hte small bullet style muffler. My guess is JIC will be quieter. Also JIC has resonators which the greddy does not.
I love my greddy but if i could do it again i would go with JIC or another bullet style exhaust. Its up to you in the end. Either JIC which is about same size tip but smaller canister, slight angle, less resonance @ speed, and quieter overall (cannot garentee this), or the greedy which is a little more agressive all around. You'll gain more top end with greddy.

I luv greddy don't get me wrong but the pipes go down to only half of the car. The Jic is a full cat-back.
Should be quiet, but with the SRT Intake it will be loud no matter what.
i tried to upload the pic but its too large.
any pics of greddy PE on Gs's>>?
