Default JoeZ or F sport

Currently debating between these two axle back exhaust. There are lots of sound clips of these two exhaust but hardly any cabin sound clips. I was wondering if someone who has these exhaust can comment or post some sound clips of the cabin noise.

Thank you very much.

I don't have either of these exhaust, but i would assume the F-Sport to be quieter in general. Not sure though, just my assumption.

Would deff like to hear some clips as well.

I had a feeling the F Sport would be a bit quieter as well but it cost so much more than the JoeZ. if the JoeZ isn't that much louder, I might just pull the trigger on that instead.

Yeah OEM parts are always expensive. Either way, both exhaust will be nice, and I'm sure you'll love em.

Same here. I love hearing the F-Sport Exhaust note everyday! Loud enough when you want to rip the throttle, but not intrusive when you are cruising. I found a great deal on ebay for a used F sport exhaust for less than half the original price. The dealer installed it for $100.

I have to throw the Tanabe into the mix. I got mine for about $750 shipped. More than the Joe Z but much less than the F Sport. Incredible quality and a true JDM branded part if you are into that type of thing, which I am. It is very quiet in a lot of the videos but I can assure you that after having it for 9 months it has only gotten deeper and louder. Its extremely daily drivable and under load at low rpm its has a very very nice sounding V6 deep bass hum. If you want louder just add a mid pipe. I would not purchase the F sport under unless it was on sale for $500. I would go Joe Z or Tanabe and since I love JDM culture I went with Tanabe. It was worth the extra $50-$100 to me since I have followed their brand for years.
