I love when I'm done pumping gas and I noticed people waiting to hear it start up. F's are pretty rare around here so peeps are always starring waiting to hear it! The headers are just gonna make it sound insane!
Your car will sound like a beast with the headers. Congrats bud. I can also feel some added power. The car pulls harder on the high end and feels smoother near redline

Remember my friend in his E92 M3, well before I installed Joe-Z and only had headers I couldn't pass him until I was in 4th gear....Yesterday we managed to get a new run with the Joe-Z exhaust and I'm surprised it's made that much of a difference.

I start passing him at the end of 2nd gear going to 3rd and then it just becomes pointless.

Honestly speaking it doesn't even feel like a fair race anymore, he needs to install an X-pipe and re-map for it to be more comparable. Still I'm impressed by the increase in low end acceleration with the Joe-Z exhaust.

Hope no one minds this video (change to 1080p when viewing)

Sounds fantastic, I8ABMR. Definitely the exhaust I will be going for when the time comes.

I am at about 1200 miles since install and the car has ABSOLUTELY quieted down considerably. The first day was crazy loud , but it was fun. I was actually noticing today on the way to the office that car sounds much more reasonable than it did initially , especially when the windows are up and the AC is on. I am really happy I went with this system.

I finally got to hear one in person for the first time today. Now I know what all the fuss is about, and I don't know how long I'll be able to hold out. Uggghhhhhhh!!

Its a great system and the car really becomes more fun with the exhaust. It absolutely adds power. I added the system when the temps here were already in the 90s. We just had rain and had 2 days with temps in the low 70s and the car was pulling significantly harder than it ever has. Sucks I will have to wait until October for the temps to come back into the 70s ( AZ)
