So i have the exhaust installed and here is my quick and dirty review

It sounds amazing, It is quite loud which is what i wanted. No noticeable drone when cruising. I expect the exhaust note to change a little once everything breaks in.

The thing is OMG light, very noticeable difference from the stock piece.

Only thing i have a gripe about with this system is that it seems like its running larger pipes than the joe z and iss forged systems, and that it also hangs lower. This required the removal of the crossmember/brace underneath the car. Not really a big deal as im not a hardcore track guy and this is just a street car. I havent noticed any difference in handling or feel in chassis flex when corning hard.

Overall im very happy with the system

will post pics and vid up this weekend when i have some free time

First....sweet exhaust.

Second...you had to take off the crossmember?? Is it just me or does that sound insane.

I took mine off for the very first protype ISS Exhaust. I never put it back on. It is just the lower very bottom bar. I have never noticed a difference. It has been over a year and a half without it.

^^ Yeah, that sounds disconcernting to me too. For that sort of price, and then to loose the crossmember that aids chasis rigidity/flex? Dose it have the same purpose in the F too?
