Default Joe Z / PTS Exhaust Installed

PTS and JoeZ have a done a phenomenal job with the RCF exhaust. Much thanks to Luis Salazar for grabbing me one right away. Customer service is second to none from all these guys
The quality of the materials used is excellent. The welds, fit and finish is perfect. The design from both a form and function perspective is a also perfect (I understand form is always subjective)
I had the cannister and the exhaust pipe coated in ceramic satin black. Install was straight forward. Most of the time was taken up by the tip alignment.
My favorite part of the sound is startup . Specially in a garage setting. The sound is a little deeper than the JoeZ on my ISF. It has been raining here so I have not had a chance to really run the car yet. Here are some pics. Enjoy.

Looks good, I like the matte black finish on the axle-back pieces. I just got mine a couple days ago, getting it installed this coming Tuesday. I'm in agreement that the quality of the work seems impeccable and the price seems reasonable, but I'll withhold final judgement until when it's on the car.

I think those look soooooo Much Better since you did the Matte Black cause that was my Main Gripe about the JoeZ's (he probably has the Best Sounding Exhaust) was because the Chrome ones stick out like a Big FAT Sore Thumb from the Back! jmo! Looks Great & i know they Sound Great!

Did you order them & have a local muffler shop install them (if so what did they charge you for the install)? JoeZ's not in Fla. is he?

Thanks. You can also just use 400 or 600 grit sandpaper and scuff the can. Then hit it with matte high temp paint.

I ordered mine from modinjapan.com, only took about 5 days to receive which seemed pretty good since I'm about 2000 mi from SoCal where they are fabricating.

Mine is just stainless, no coating. I kind of like that look, and I didn't really even know i could get it with ceramic coating.


Or.... maybe you were asking the guy who started the thread, ooops.

So is JoeZ the brand name or is it PTS, or maybe it's q collaboration? I guess they are located in Ontario? I used to be in that area regularly, family around there and lived in Orange Co. Anyways, the quality of the product seems very high, psyched to get it on the car.
