Default yet another exhaust option for the IS-F (video)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0KI2GjXcjk

Full true dual, stainless steel with x config. It's different than the others in that they don't use a typical muffler/resonator combination but utilize 4 race mufflers instead. I gave them a quick call today just to get some information from them. They said it's a customers car and posted the video to see what kind of reaction they get from it. He did hint at a price of a tad over 2k which seems rather steep, but with feedback here and on youtube that could easily change IMO. to their unique design.

Nice find!!!! The company is literally in may backyard. I went to their site and from the photos that you have posted and others on their site, it appears that the "X" -part is a solid piece, don't have to worry about welds cracking under the extreme exhaust heat...great idea!!!.

+1 on the muffler portion on saving weight.

The sound bytes they have furnished cover all types of vehicles, really like the 350Z sound.

They will cover the install and warranty it thru their shop. And they have a relationship with Galpin ford, one of the largest dealerships here in SoCal. I'll have to talk with some of the Mustang owners this Sun. when we meet for the Lambo/Ferrari group in Calabasas. Beautiful cars there every Sun. I have seen only 1 "F" from Vista Lexus representing and 3 GT-R's along with the regulars....Ferrari's, Lambo's, Porsche, BMW, Mercedes. Nice exotics and custom jobs can be seen and photographed!!!

Great video and I am SOLD, will have to call the company this week and get the details

Thanks for the great post will have to keep this 1 in mind when my "special" present arrives

Looks good! nice find in deed. Glad to see ISF owners are getting options quickly here. I like how it looks from the rear section with the exhaust coming through the bumper.

Well just called the shop and it is a True dual stainless steel exhaust, the rear mufflers you see is dual "bullet" muffler, 1 of which is a pass thru, so to keep the in-cabin noise down. They have not dynoed the car yet, but their butt dyno is telling them @ 20 lb-ft torque. The X-pipe contributes to the lower end torque..that is key here. They are fabricating a custom CAI and then they will throw it ontu the dyno for a full test.

Pricing..........just for the dual exhaust ,install and FULL lifetime warranty $2300.00

This exhaust sounds PERFECT! Awesome to see what this V8 engine is capable of sounding like with the right piping/muffler combination. I've never heard of these guy's before, are they a reputable company???
