Default Axle back options/opinions.

I am stuck in between these two axlebacks.
The Invidia q300 & the Joe Z
I want to go full catback but it is too expensive for me as of right now. I would go with Ark when I have the money. And I have an awd so that makes things for difficult for me since I am not quite sure there is a awd version for sale yet? Correct me if I'm wrong.

For people with the two axle backs I mentioned, I would like your opinion about them. The pros and cons of what you have. Thanks for your time!

Out of those two options I would go with the joez for sure... I recently bought a tsudo axleback off a member here, but haven't installed it yet. Will post my thoughts once I do.

if you do want a full cat back for awd, joe z does make a complete system for it. If I were you, I'd wait a little and save til I could get the whole system...if that's what you really wanted. I have the joe z cat back and I'm very happy with it. but of the two listed, I'm not familiar w/ the q300, so I too would go w/ joe z.

Agreed, its good to do it right the first time. I had to learn that the hard way.. The PTS/Joe-z full catback sounds great in person! & we do have the AWD ones made by PTS/Joe-z and Ark performance!

Does Greddy not make an exhaust for the IS anymore? I use to have the SP and loved it with the invidia mid pipe.

I thought it kind of weird that some of the older heavy hitters didn't make systems for this gen. no greddy, hks, dc sports to name a few.

I loved the Greddy SP. Can't find one used in good condition for sale. Looked on their site and it shows them coming out with a new one, but it looks kind of weird and I can't find much info on it yet.
