I received the replacement on Tuesday and the car was booked for installation at the dealership on Wednesday, perfect timing from Paul

Regarding the noise, it is definately louder than the Joe Z alone. I did a video as well but my friend kept swearing so I need to edit it before I post it. It should be ready tomorrow

Wow your setup sounds amazing! Sounds deeper than I thought and seems to sound different than Sikky/Joe Z setup.

Here is an inside video, I have the camera and my best friend is test driving it. His own car is an Audi RS4 B5 pushing around 500bhp. There is a bit of talk in French, basically he is very impressed by the power increase and reckons it is as fast as his car.

I'm literally at my auto shop getting my Joe Z exhaust and intake installed (they just finished the exhaust) while watching this video.... I can hardly wait till my PPE headers arrive next week to have them installed as well. I LOVE your video of the ISF hauling a$$ through the French countryside with it's insanely awesome sound with the same mods I'm getting as well. (except will have magna flow cats instead of RT's) SWEET!!!!!!!!

^^^^Why didn't you wait to have the exhaust installed with your headers. Would have been cheaper But, IMHO, you made the right choices

I think it's better to install in "Phases"

Just my opinion..

I did the exhaust installation myself but as I do not have access to a lift I could not do the headers. I got the exhaust back in May and I did not know at that time that there would be a group buy for the headers shortly after anyway
