Default What exhaust?

I just picked up my F and it has resonators/mufflers deleted but I want to do a real exhaust after seeing the bottleneck at the x near the rear of the car. I want loud but need your opinions.

I think I want a true quad tip but that limits mu options. The shop says they can create a OEM style fascia but with titanium tips but I dont know if I like the "fascia" idea. Let me know what you guys think

If you want something loud, then you'll probably like the ISS Forged catback systems

Let me elaborate on my post. OEM tips with joe z carbon fiber tips. If you can't get a hold of one, I also like the ISS versions.

I really like the OEM tips.. when I got my F I thought, why the hell would anyone change the tips for the exhaust. I may have even posted a comment about that last year, lol.

Well I am rocking the ISS forged tips now, haha. I like them a lot, nice change for the car. Makes my F unique for my area. However, I am pissed about getting their burnt tips from ISS, the color fade rubbed off!

It's hard to vote for a custom fascia without knowing what it looks like.
The F exhaust has a signature look that is like no other car out there has. I think it is one of the key design features that set the car apart form others. On top of that there are not many Fs out there so it's not something you see everyday regardless.
I don't really like the idea of stuffing four tips in the bumper cover and rocking the same style that's been used since... I want to say an 88' Mustang but really for way longer then that.

Who knows, maybe in a year I'll have ISS exhaust. My car already had it installed once

For this year it's PPE Headers with moded stock exhaust...lowrideraz style.

I love the ISS tips, but do the custom route. It'll be unique and I really like TI tips

I would go the ISS route. Getting a fully custom, mandrel bent, stainless setup is worth the money.

It seems that sound is always a huge concern with the exhaust (of course) but I have never seen the hp gain numbers on the JoeZ PTS or ISS DES/QES - Does anyone have the numbers on hp gains that these 3 different exhaust systems put out? I have a JoeZ intake and want to get the system that puts out the most hp - they all sound good loud or not!
