Default Feedback

Alright, so this is long overdue (my apologies), but here is some feedback after having the PTS JoeZ series full exhaust installed on my car for a couple of months now.

First of all, I'd like to address one of the concerns some members may have:

Originally Posted by Stitch626
That's would be my fear as well, I added a header to my 07 civic 1.8 running with a CAI, Megan racing downpipe and fully GReddy Ti-C exhaust system and it became unbearably loud like I couldn't hear my passengers
For those who DO actually want to hear their passengers and/or music, I will say this exhaust has no cabin drone AT ALL. Listening to music or passengers is not affected (I actually did have a passenger in my vehicle to test out this theory, and I drove on the freeway with no traffic, so I could actually accelerate).

Some additional points about this exhaust I'd like to make are:

-Silent at low RPMS (2.5k and below). Perfect for cruising and not attracting unwanted attention from cops. (Cause we all know my wheels alone catch their attention So I don't need additional attention from the 5-0 hehe)

- At above 2.5k, the exhaust comes alive and has a very nice note to it. Low tone, not annoying and high pitched. (You can hear it in the videos I've posted-- YouTube 1ntegress or look at my Instagram @integress )

- Downshifting sounds awesome OK this one may be subjective but again, you can hear for yourself in the videos I've posted.

Aside from the sounds, it looks great-- it's not too flashy, and doesn't scream "HEY Look at me, I'm an exhaust!" but it does add a nice touch to the rear end

I want one! Hopefully it comes out soon so I don't spend my money on something different.

Any update about the release of this exhaust? And joe z, would you say this sounds similar to the gs350 exhaust(full catback)? I love the way that one sounds.

Release update? Price? F Sport exhaust is getting a lot of attention and leaving this one behind. Tanabe is just around the corner I imagine as well. Keep us posted on this one!!

Ahh, I remember eagerly waiting for the GS cat-back to be released. Ready to hear more people join the dark side. I fall in love a little more every time I start up the engine.

How about some dyno test with your intake and exhaust and maybe a combo price on both?????

Aloha,

Bring it out already, I'm eagerly awaiting lol. It sounds great, hopefully it doesn't get annoying after awhile though...never had an exhaust before.

It sounds better than the F sport exhaust IMHO. I hope the axle back one would sound just as good. Can someone make a video to show how it sounds from inside the car? I really want to know if there is any cabin drone when cruising at 70 mph.

Will the midpipe be sold without the axle back for those who went ahed and got F-Sport axlebacks ?
