Default JP Exhaust Question

Are all of their kits cat-back exhaust? How is the sound?

JP makes a sport version (ehnanced exhuast note) and makes another version which is supposedly quieter.

Here's a vid of my brother's car. He has the JP exhuast (sport version) with

It sounds nothing like stock.

I have the newer version Type III JP exhaust it is lot more conservative then the prior JP exhausts and yes just a muffler, axel back and like Rev and Seize state on the newer one pretty much stock sounding, maybe a tad lower on start up....it is a beaut to look at....
















you can adjust the tips as well to stagger them or to push our more or less depending on your bumper/aero

Seize that sounds great! So it's a muffler for $1,400? I should have guessed.

I'm looking for an VIP exhaust that looks like:



Any idea where I could get one? I know Auto Couture makes mufflers like it too but they are also way too expensive.

Looks like a dual muffler with tips angled slightly upwards, I'm pretty sure a good muffler shop can fabricate something like that.

If you want brand name, then ofcourse it's going to be expensive.

My bro still has his JP extender tips that he never put on. I'll try to comvince him to sell them. If he agrees to it, I'll list them here on the classifieds.

Here's a picture

I don't think so. Even if it were to be custom, I think it'd be kind of difficult to find a muffler that could accomodate dual 4" tips. I would imagine it'd be huge!

Here's what the JP muffler and tip look like, as you can see, the tip is already large and the extender slides on to the tip. So the extenders are slightly larger in diameter.

Ah thats what I figured. I was trying to size them up by the wheel in the background and failed haha. I need a single dual tipped muffler with angled tips. I have no problem shelling out the cash for the Junction Produce one but if its same sound as stock then that makes me a sad panda.
