lol... yea that's one of the primary reasons why I didn't get one. The sound and power increase is amazing (I drove an F that had it), but I can't live with it day-to-day, especially when I want to enjoy a quiet cruise with the wifey. If there is a quiet exhaust out there that can still deliver the power gains, then I'd be very interested.

Carlos..
Welcome to the Club..!!!!
I am really glad to hear you're enjoying everything.
The staff over at Performance Tube Systems puts a lot of man hours into each system, to ensure that every system they hand build for the IS-F, is as precise as it can be..
Perfection is the Goal..
Best Regards,
Joe Z

I would go this route 1st... Things just might tone down to where you like..
The Drop in Filters will make your intake pipe more robust sounding, than it already is.

If it weren't for those inserts I think I would have put the stock system back on the car. I loved the fitment and quality but the noise was a bit too much for me. I might be loosing some hp but it is well worth it. Now the exhaust is right between the Joe Z and the stock with no resonance.
This is not a knock against PTS/Joe Z. I think from the reviews on here most love their exhaust, for some of us in the minority we'd like something a bit quieter. I've had 1 piece titanium exhausts on my Evo and other cars and the fitment of the Joe Z right up there with the best.
