Do you happen to have a picture or two you could post up with the blacked out mufflers? I am wondering how long that would last in Wisconsin with the winters and all. I am thinking of doing that when I install my springs wthin the next few weeks.






Just the end of the canister is painted, don't have any better pics at the moment

Cool, I think it looks really nice on the darker colored cars.

Is it just the picture or are your rear tires at the wear bars already?

Upon closer inspection tonight, the drivers side muffler does not stick out as far as the passenger side. Was this the same as yours? Any other Joe Z exhaust owners seeing this as well?

Have you noticed the rear bumper getting really hot from exhaust tips? Any chance of this melting the bumper?

Well, he also had the borla exhaust, which is one of the more quiet exhausts on the IS, even with headers. The JoeZ is definitely more vocal, so I wouldn't be surprised with his impressions of it on the RC.

Hey, would you mind posting info on those tips? Looking for C/F Lexus emblem at the rear and front fender 'F's, but would also like to do something about those ugly chromed tips. Lexus dropped the ball not black-chroming the window surrounds on the RC-F, but will reluctantly leave those alone. They don't look as awful with the polished wheels, but chrome on a sports car is just ridiculous. Thanks man.

Thanks. I am much more used to the added noise now. I still think it was louder than my PPE/Borla combo, but probably not by much, and only at certain revs/engine loads.

I will plan on getting a full review up on the first post later this weekend, and hopefully capture some good sounds clips at a car show this weekend too.
