Default 2014 GS exhaust and intake

Just got my Joe Z axle back exhaust in the mail, waiting on the intake later this week. Getting the exhaust installed on Saturday morning. First mod to the car besides the limo tint all around including windshield strip. Was wondering if anyone noticed any gains in HP with the axleback and intake combination. I know it would be minimal at best but curious to hear what other people felt after doing this. Safe to say Im excited either way lol

Congrats on your JoeZ parts. Unfortunately the gains from an intake, & axle back are minimal. Therefor not really noticeable. Should sound and look good anyway. Enjoy~

Yea that's what I mostly did it for. A little better sound and looks under the hood. Plus eventually I plan on getting rear diffuser and quad tips. Maybe a mid pipe but hear mixed reviews about it being too loud

With a midpipe and the JoeZ intake, your car will sound loud but it's not too loud in my opinion. However, it is still solely base on your decision.

Thanks for the video. Hard to tell. Guess I will feel out the axleback and the intake first and see how I like it, then take it from there.

Just got my Joe Z axle back on my 2014 AWD base model. I've heard some reviews that it sounds just like the stock exhaust but I'm actually really happy with t. It's definitely louder and deeper than stock. Waiting for my intake in the mail so will see how it sounds with that too

Where did you order the Joe Z exhaust from? The only thing I can find is a facebook link.

I got the Joe Z intake. It is actually getting delivered today so I will let you know on pipe size when I get it. And as for the site.....this is the site for all the Joe Z exhaust and intake for our cars.

Says on the website linked earlier that they only have an axle-back for the AWD. Are you sure about that, or is it on another site?

EDIT: I'm a ****. Mod in Japan has a PTS/Joe Z catback for the AWD models.
