With PPE and Borla, I could hear the intake - but it was definitely much more exhaust noise than intake noise.

Thanks ToothDoc. I went ahead and put my stock rear section back on last night. It's soo Lexus like with it on now. A bit too tame for me. Decisions decisions.

Man, just found the Borla for $880 delivered. Soo tempting at half the price of the Joe Z...just don't want to be upset if it's too quiet for me, although the wife will love it. I'm 35 and daily drive the car and I too have people in and out of the car plus a 9 month old baby and a 4 year old, but 90% of the time I'm by myself.

I have the Borla and will have PPE headers on by the end of next week. I'm 30 with a 15 month old and I too have to transport clients around from time to time and this is my daily. I wouldn't want it really any louder than the Borla is now. It has a nice deep rumble to it when you are on it, but quiets down during highway travel. Make no mistake, this exhaust still makes plenty of noise, it is by no means quiet. I was set on JoeZ initially, but after reading and following Caymandive's posts, I am very happy I went the Borla route. In the end though, it all comes down to personal preference. $880 is a pretty sweet deal, I paid just under $1100 from Amazon.

Well, I went back and forth soo many times on going with Borla or Joe Z and I finally pulled the trigger on the Joe Z. I just can't imagine the Joe Z droning any worse than the deleted cats and muffler mod, and I knew if it wasn't as bad, I could handle it. Like I said, the deleted mod was on the borderline for me. Carson said they get another shipment in Monday, so I'm figuring 2 weeks before receiving it.

I've been running on PPE headers, JoeZ exhaust, RT 100 cell cats and Takeda (aFe) intake for quite a while now. I definitely can't hear the intake anymore and it was very pronounced before the headers/exhaust install.

Autoanything.com states 15% off of $1035 for first time buyers, but then they wouldn't honor it because they said they were the lowest price. Best I've seen is $1015 on eBay, so I just bought the Joe Z instead.

They're supposed to get a new shipment in on Monday and ship out on Tuesday. Maybe Joe can chime in.
