^Saw your car at the Westminster meet, sounds really good! Btw, someone's putting together an Orange County weekly meet if you and some of the RCF guys are down.

All of gear looks great, but can you post the performance gains realized as a result of swapping out the current equipment for these new pieces i.e., exhaust, air intake , etc?

So when he called me to have one of the first production units of his intake, I jumped on it right away. It was an honor to be considered for his production unit! I think this picture was taken 2 days after I bought my car. Haha. Don't worry it will be out soon! It's crazy to see the only reason why it's taking a bit longer is because he is so **** when it comes to quality.

Dyno Video of Vern's Car testing out the PTS - Joe Z Series Exhaust System at DSport Magazine, coming out in the next few days!

I was wondering what JoeZ's is compared to this one as far as Price & Performance Wise (do they add ANY extra HP)? Got to admit this one looks Pretty Awesome! Thanks!

Sure man, it's basically saying the exhaust added ~30 whp & Tq. Dynos aren't apples to apples usually, but this is about the same increase that Apexi posted for gains as well. The above Ti intake costs around 700$ and I'm not going to speculate the hp increase for our cars, but I've heard our stock intake is pretty good.

My guess is that the intake is more bling, not sure how the same size / shape pipe can make any difference.

IF i was a Betting Man (ok i am) but i Don't think there's No Way that is True! jmo! I think 8-10 IF Anything! Vipers have something similar but 2 instead of 1 & i think the Only difference is where you see the end of the tube where the OEM has the Riddged end & the JoeZ & the other Custom one is SMOOTH! I think that is probably the ONLY difference! I know the ones we put on the Vipers are called Smooth Tubes & i think that's because there's No Restriction like at the end of the OEM ones! jmo! & i think on the Vipers they claim like a 8-10hp gain (but they also have 2 tubes)! Not sure you would be able to FEEL the Difference! jmo!

Winner winner chicken dinner! you're spot on. Now take away your second intake and I think you hit the nail on the head. Ryanmcd is also right about it being a bling piece. I'm watching to see what JoeZ comes up with. My parts should start appearing soon from Port LA and delivered to Topspeed Motorsports up in Atlanta. She'll be on the dyno before and after everything is installed, just the headers are what's going to be holding things up. The increase from theses exhausts alone should be easily felt in the seat. My buddy just took delivery of the brand new C63 AMG S....... Already had it on Topspeed dyno......thing is a beast! Anyone want to buy my RC F? I'm kidding...... Kinda
