I have nothing against borla, it's just compared to the Joe z setup, I think the Joe z craftsmenship and sound is more on point. This is the only reason why I'm holding back on this setup. Make no mistake, I'm definitely grateful for RR Racing keeping the IS F alive! I will be making future purchases.

The Bazooka is mainly louder, but it will not make more power than the dual magnaflow setup. Dual magnaflow is a bit louder and deeper than the Borla on throttle.

"Bang for Buck" = Borla. I've had it a few years and have been very happy with it. Paid under a grand shipped!

Guys, this "tune" option has been around for years, the gains are completely and totally unsubstantiated. The guy used a dyno app for his iphone to determine that he made 46whp:-) On top of that he was running 96 octane.

I've had my borla kit with the quad magnaflow tips for a few days now. Really like the kit. I plan on doing a review post after a few hundred miles of use. The tips through the bumper really make the rear end look awesome now. I was never a fan of the quad oval tips on the stock setup.

Do you have a sound clip of the Bazooka & Borla combo on a stock ISF? The only clips on youtube that I can find is the blue one with gutted primary cats & a black one that has catless headers, none with the stock headers & cats.

Sorry, I do not have a clip of Bazooka with stock catted headers. I would say that it is a relatively minor difference going to gutted stock headers, but with PPE + Bazooka it is a big step up in loudness!

I'm interested in reading this review. Has anybody else done a review on the magnaflow quad kit yet? I haven't seen any.

I have the stock Borla catback and I feel like I want a bit more sound, but not anything like the Bazooka kit. I'd like to know about fitment as well.

Just to clarify...

Be sure to check out the "CL Vendor Products for IS F" above top of forum, for the latest PTS - Joe Z offerings

btw the Borla runs closer to 1300 . It depends on where and what time of the year you will be buying it

Here is a good thread, page 5 has a review.


Due to the larger pipe size of the Magnaflow mufflers, it sounds deeper and a bit louder.
