I'm very happy with my Borla exhaust. Comfortable enough to drive daily if need be and it makes good power.

 

ISS QES or JoeZ is the way to go. Love both!

 

Those would have been my first and second choice. The only problem with those two brands of exhausts are...

One of them has been discontinued
The other is on back order.

If I'm paying for a product, esp one that cost 1500 plus it better be in my hands no later than a week after you charge my credit card.

Instead of waiting and wishing for an exhaust, I will have one installed by the weekend! Lol

 

Dang good deal! I was supposed to order it through Amazon but when I tried to place the order last month, they stopped shipping to Guam?

 

Somethings do that to me at check out. I guess it depends on the vendor Amazon uses. Try to join AmazonPrime. There was going to be a shipping charge until I applied for prime.

 

If I were u don't listen to a Joe Z in person once u have ur Borla cause u will end up selling the Borla to get a Joe Z. I bought a Borla cause I was impatient and ended up selling it when I came across a used Joe Z. Borla is a good exhaust but not even in same league as a Joe Z when it comes to sound

 

JoeZ was back ordered when I wanted it. I'm glad I waited. Sound is amazing and the build quality is amazing (not to suggest others aren't of good quality). Some complain it drones at times. My wife and I can easily carry on a conversation and have the radio on and not have to raise our voices....and like someone already said, if you can't tolerate some drone keep it stock. Anyway, like I said I'm very glad I waited.

 

I'll see how I like the Borla. Good thing about exhausts are they are not permanent and I can swap it out if I don't like it.

 

I own the ISS Forged DES exhaust and a Takeda intake. I love the way this exhaust sounds and would recommend it to anyone. It doesn't drone out on the highway, its actually quiet. Its extremely loud when you want it to be, but not always so it doesn't get old fast... I felt the QES would be too much unwanted noise with extreme drone when the car really doesn't need it. I definitely noticed quite the throttle response when adding both of those parts at the same time, you can certainly feel the difference in horsepower.

Good luck with your search, it was a hard decision to make...

 

I bought Borla. I did not like it.
I did not like the low RPM drone especially in auto-mode.

 

Some say what the drone goes away with the installation of headers. I was going
to do headers anyway, but gave me an excuse to do it sooner than later.

 

Welcome to the the Joez club best advice of the day

 

Here's a quick fly-by of my IS-F with PPE headers and JoeZ exhaust...

I get compliments on it a lot. I absolutely love the sound.

Might help you in your selection.

 

Borla catback came in yesterday. Can't beat overnight shipping for 12.00!!! I plan on installing it tonight. Headers will be here by Thursday. Plan to install them on Friday

 

^+1!!! I've never heard it on an F but my buddy has one on his E92 M3 and it sounds bad ***!!!!!
