Hello Guys / Gals...

This past Saturday we had the pleasure of helping Phillip "CrazyMPG" install his New IS-F Cat Back Exhaust...

I am sure he will be able to give you all some some more feedback on this system that many of you have been waiting for..

We took a bunch of pics and I am posting them up for him..

Update: We did create short exhaust muffler tips that start off at 2.5 inches and flare up to 2.75 inches which are split between the center of the OEM Exhaust Tip / Diffusers.

For the R&D process and additional information please visit this thread:
Completed R&D on PTS Dual Exhaust System Joe Z series & Joe Z Intake for IS-F


Also, this is one of the 1st Production Versions installed & the 1st system installed with a little customizing to the face and tips of the mufflers..

Phillip and I actually painted them with a High Heat Flat Black Paint.
This was something he wanted to do, to give the rear muffler faces an OEM look. Simple blue tap, sandpaper and the spray paint is how we did it.
This is a strictly a DIY modification to the exhuast mufflers.
They will come fully mirror polished as shown further below.

Enjoy these Short Videos and Pictures from Saturday...!!

Also, we used a Lexus / Toyota O2 Sensor removal tool. Which went very smoothly and looked exactly like the one pictured below...

VERY IMPORTANT TO HAVE THE OEM EXHAUST FULLY COOLED DOWN BEFORE STARTING THE REMOVAL OF THE O2 SENSORS
-THIS WILL HELP PREVENT STRIPPING OF THE SENSOR THREADS



There are a few different brands out there with a similar design that will work the same exact way.

This is not your typical DIY install.. but if your handy with WD-40,a couple of wrenches and 4 jack stands, then you should be good....

If NOT, I STRONGLY recommend an experienced Technician at a 3rd party shop to do the install..

Having the car on a lift, high in the air, makes a world of a difference..

That is a beautiful looking exhaust Joe! Sometimes I wonder why OEM's dont polish their exhausts

The exhaust looks absolutely beautiful! I also really like the custom flat black added to the muffler.

Great Work. That system is simply gorgeous. The built quality and materials used look outstanding. It should flow really well.

Nice!! Even though it's unlikely that anyone ever gets to see the exhaust, the polished pipes look so much better than stock.

Can't wait to see the benchmarks!
