PTS Exhaust–Joe Z series for 2IS

Performance Tube Systems is proud to announce the release of the PTS True Dual Exhaust-Joe Z series for the 06'-08' Lexus IS Model.

In cooperation with Joe Z of the well known "Joe Z Intakes" for the Lexus IS, this newly designed CAT back exhaust was created with Luxury & Performance Enthusiasts in mind. Every aspect of this system was thoroughly researched, designed and tested extensively to ensure delivery of a high-end performance exhaust system.


Exhaust Build Specifications

2.25” 304 Stainless Steel Precision Mandrel Bent Tubing
Integrated X-Pipe Design for Optimal Flow
2 Stainless Steel High Flow Catalytic Converters
2 Stainless Steel Resonators Tuned for reduced noise levels
2 Polished Stainless Steel Oval Design Mufflers
2 Polished Stainless Steel 4” Dual Walled Tips
2 Stainless Steel CNC’d front flanges
8 Stainless Steel mid & rear flanges
Fully TIG Welded Construction
Stainless Steel hangers
4 High End Exhaust gaskets
8 Automotive grade serrated Flange Bolts & Nuts
Front & Mid Sections are finished in Brushed Stainless Steel
2 Rear Sections are finished in a Brilliant Mirror Polished Stainless Steel

Each system is 100% hand made in the USA!!


The Exhaust will be available in two versions:

- The first being “Street Performance” which includes two carb certified high flow catalytic converters.
This system will deliver gains of approx 8-10 rwhp

- The second being “Race Performance” which is identical to the first version, however the secondary high flow catalytic converters have been Eliminated.
This system will deliver gains of approx 10-12 rwhp

Both versions are Full Aftermarket exhaust replacement parts and carry the disclaimer:
“For Off Road Use Only”

- Street Performance MSRP $1,699

- Race Performance MSRP $1,499

** GB will be up shortly in the vendors forum **



Current Independent Dyno’s have only been performed on the IS350.

I personally rode with Joe in this car and words cannot describe how good it sounds. I told Joe this exhaust is making me want to buy an IS. Im sure he'll chime in shortly with all the info. And some sound clips should be coming up shortly.

Can we get some pictures while the car is on the ground? I'd like to see how the muffler tips look head on and from the side.

Looks very nice Joe! I'm glad you decided on round tips instead of the oval ones. Now, you will no longer be known as just the intake guy. haha
