Someone should do a side by side sound comparison between this and a JoeZ.

Today one of the guys I work with drove the car for almost 50+ miles and said man its Sooo much more quiet than before. I also have seen a major mpg increase since Friday and I believe the engine likes the added back pressure from the new design. It responds better at a low rpm than before. I spent all day driving today with a smile on my face!
No doubt I like this exhaust a lot. I've been keeping it in manual mode 90% of the time too. I was just clarifying that I do get some drone, it might not be very bad, but its not a zero drone exhaust. From what I've found there isn't any zero drone exhaust for the ISF from any company, they all drone to an extent. The DES is definitely awesome and I am happy with my purchase too.

All I care is that my ears dont hurt now and none of the interior rattles at all. Its a very smooth clean sound, but maybe some people consider drone different than others. All I know is that this is night and day difference from the track set up.

I just test drove Mitch's car today. He is absolutely correct. There is no more drone whatsoever, at any RPM. It still has the aggressive sound and you hear it only where you should, on the outside. I brought the wife along with me, just to make sure I wasn't overstating things. She wouldn't even ride in my car anymore from the drone. She stated it's awesome, now she can ride in my car again, once I get the new one. Thank you ISS for addressing these issues in a truly classy manner. I can not remember any company willing to go that far out of the way to please the customer. I look forward to ending my brain rattle soon. Thanks again.

On another note, the headers do add quite a bit more power, at least according to my truly accurate Butt Dyno.

Sounds good!!! Drone has been an issue for me with past exhaust I have had with other cars. It's good to know that this street set up doesn't have much, if any drone.

So is the new exhaust with headers as loud as the Track Exhaust just without the drone?

Where in Texas are you?

I'm from Dallas and I'd love to hear the exhaust.
