Nope, still haven't received it. Ordered beginning of August, and have been in contact with Luis from Carson Toyota every week on status. Looks like Joe Z has completed production and about ready to ship it to Carson, but they are attending SEMA this week so that might delay their delivery -_-

Thanks for the update, if it's not too much trouble, please post when the JoeZ catback has been delivered.... 3 months after ordering seems like a long time. I received an email inquiry that they will have it in 2 weeks after placing an order, which doesn't seem to jive....

I ordered my cat back from mod in Japan. I waited about 2 to 3 months for my exhaust. I think it depends on Joe Z production and if he have any in stock.

Luis at Carson told me that he has 2 more catbacks in stock right now. Apparently Joe Z's production was waiting for the resonator part of the exhaust to be completed, which held up production this entire time.
I'll write up a review of the exhaust after I get more seat time with it. So far so good, but I think the drone on my daily commute may get to me sooner rather than later

Thanks for the update! I'm still pondering the decision due to the drone.... please let us know if it's bearable after break-in. New exhausts are really loud for the first 200-500 miles.
I picked up the exhaust at Carson Toyota this past Friday (11/10) and had it installed at Tommys Music Box in El Monte, CA yesterday (11/13).

With Joe Z mid pipes and stock mufflers, do you get the same cold start noise and exhaust pitch? I can't seem to drown out the drone with the full catback with my music on loud. I also start my commute at 4am so the initial cold start is quite loud. I have to shift into Drive immediately after start to lower the revs before opening the garage and creeping out.

I think any catback system is going to drone. I have the JoeZ catback and love it, but the drone does occasionally get irksome. I did purchase some silencers talked about on the ISF forum and they did quiet things down pretty nicely. You are losing the gains made from installing a cat back though due to the restrictions. It’s a worthy trade off for me.

It will only get louder once it's settle in. And will rattles everything in your car.
Will be selling mine. Will be done a Tommy's Music Box as well.

I posted this a few weeks back in the ISF section.
Ordered these over the weekend and installed them this evening (gotta love Prime lol). The JoeZ catback gets raucous between 1200 and 1800 rpm and these really calmed it down. According to my super (duper) accurate phone dB app, I dropped 4.7 dB but the difference is amazing in terms of lower frequencies vibrating through into the cabin. Merely a hum!
BUT there’s the power loss. It’s noticeable.
The (tiny) torque gained from the catback is lost with these restricting exhaust flow again. I think it’s worth it though. The cabin is quiet again. And the girl approves so all is well lol.
Time will tell if they’re too restrictive to cause an issue I guess...
