Hey guys my Joe Z system is waiting in the garage for install at the dealer tomorrow. I am curious to see if I can download a Decibel meter app and objectively measure the increase in noise from oem to JoeZ

i8abmr, can you let me know what your dealer is going to charge you for the install. Getting mine installed on monday and kinda curious what the dealer is charging you. My dealer quoted me 290 for 2 hours labor

Yeah buddy. Pretty sure they said it would be 1 hr at $162 with the stipulation that it could be a little more if the tech runs into issues but he said most likely it will be very simple. Im so excited, New tires, new pads and rotors and a new exhaust. This is going to be a nice little refresh for my F !!

I8ABMR If you're going to measure Decibel's then let the exhaust break in first as it changes tone quiet a bit from when it's first installed.

I should have done a DB check on mine but honestly did not think about it at the time.
Personally, I have noticed no appreciable change in sound, tone, DB output etc. since installation of my Joe Z approximately 2k miles ago. Seems pretty much the same as day one.

My JoeZ arrives tomorrow from ModInJapan. I have a local Toyota/Lexus shop Eric's Wrench that will be installing it for me next week.

I am having a defect issue right now. The dealer says the exhaust hanger on the mid section is not in the right place and is not lining up with the hanger o the car. I even went down to look at it. I am a little pissed right now and dont know what to do. The dealer says to take it to a shop and have the hanger modified to fit or just cut it off. Thats BS and if this thing is defective Im going to be pissed. Not happy so far. Havent heard the damn thing but dont like the idea of getting the priciest unit and then having a defect. I thought it was the tech but I cant see how else to mount it
