Love my tanabe. I didn't want it loud. Just wanted a deeper tone. it's still a luxury car. If I can'T be a GTR I don't wanna sound like one. i.e. All the civics in my area

Yes this is my daily driver. It's bearable to me. I love the sound of the cat back. I have the apexi controller and cold air intake as well. I can't see to save on gas anymore lol. My wife even fine with it. We still go to dinner and the valets always give a complement.

I think I waited around 2 and a half or 3 months for mine's. I ordered from modinjapan. I hated the wait time. I almost got a custom exhaust put in.

I ordered the Joe Z catback from Luis at Carson Toyota, it's been about a month and a half and I still haven't got it! Every day I wait for the email that says 'ready for pickup'.

I decided on the catback due to Youtube videos that showed the comparison between stock, axleback, and catback. The axleback didn't make much difference to warrant an upgrade from stock, but the catback was night and day! That was what ultimately sold me.

I have the Invidia Midpipe with the Joe Z Axle Back and it has pretty minimal droning on highways.

Planning on installing PPE headers soon

Not sure how well this will sound from my phone, but it’s slightly louder, but deeper than stock. Cold start... I’ll try to get driving videos this weekend.

I gotta get this for both mine and my wife's 350. I have it for my Cobra and I love their quality. Easy install, great welds, great fit, nice tubing, etc. I installed it myself and was amazed at the quality.

Following up, did Carson Toyota ever deliver the Joe Z catback exhaust for your GS350?
If so, how long did it take from order time to receive it?

Thanks
