The mufflers are the only thing known to man capable of holding Chuck Norris's tears. Joe outdid himself on this one...

I just got my F back today from the local Porsche/Maserati dealer after they installed the Joe Z exhaust. The service manager called me after the install (yesterday afternoon) and told me how much fun the car was to drive. Then he told me he was going to road test it again just to make sure everything was OK. I got it back this morning and now I understand why he "road tested" it multiple times. The exhaust is nothing short of AMAZING.
I drove home in 95 degree heat with the windows down just so I could listen to the exhaust. I LOVE IT!

How much did they charge you? Did they refill the gas tank after they finished having fun? lol

I know others have said it but I'll say it again. It's the best sounding exhaust and the best "bang for your buck" mod you can do to the F period! Great job Joe Z!

I've been seeing people saying they have RT 100cell cats along with the exhaust; where and how much do you get these cats? Does it quiet the exhaust up a lot?

I am already itching for an exhaust, but take clients in my car a lot and don't want to be too outragous. From what I've been reading Joe Z is the best option, but do you think it's too loud? Any other options to quiet it up if it is too loud? Youtube doesn't really help with judging, any Chicago guys have it?

Honestly IMO the JoeZ PTS is too loud to take professional suits around in. You can add in some resonators to the X pipe or try a Borla, its supposed to be quieter.

Thanks. I was thinking about borla.. but on a lexus.. I guess it will all be hidden under the car though hah. I was searching around and some guys said the borla was too loud as well, but it seems to be the best option I guess. I definitely am wanting a little more sound coming out.

Does the Joe Z intake tube make more noise or just very minor? Maybe that could satisfy my craving..

Some say that they notice a little more sound from the intake. But after I put mine on, I really couldn't tell that it was any louder.
