Interesting to see that Summit/XForce is selling this exhaust state-side not specific to fit US-Spec cars.. Has anyone tried reaching out to an X-Force rep to see if they'll make updates to their ISF offerings?

@ nickj so im gonna get these hangers ground off and repositioned..my question is, that passenger side hanger...one side is welded at an angle am I to have it welded at an angle in the new position? All the other hangers seem straight. I ask this because my car is not at the exhaust shop I just dropped off the hangers (for repositioning) and mufflers (to cut 1/2) to get a head start. My car is getting a new paint job, and want to have everything in line and ready to install the x-force. Thanks for the help.

The angles should be pointing down

Also be cautious about the passengers side one. A couple members said no modification was needed for that one. Maybe i had a goofy one.

So all the hangers should be welded straight up and down ? Your (hanger) kit looks just like my kit..I made the measurements and took it to the shop to have them grind and reweld..

These are running about 1170.00 cheaper than JZ. Carson Toy quoted me for JZ shipped and taxed about $1802.91. I got my X-Force through Summit $629.00. shipped no tax. Glad to help👌

I haven't seen it for sale anywhere.. I plan on reaching out to X Force directly and see what insights they offer to correcting the existing offering of the ISF exhaust. Doesn't make sense to me that they would sell this exhaust as the Euro model state-side?

Regards,
Sameer

I don't think it is a euro model difference - I imagine the muffler mounting points are exactly the same in European/Asian models. I suspect it is a cost thing - cheaper for them to produce without the hangers?

What's the difference between this ISF fitment and the ISx50? They look almost identical.

I just finished installing the X-Force exhaust. It was a pretty straight-forward installation. I did relocate the driver's side hanger as mentioned in this post. The welds on mine actually looked very nice and the quality is very good. I have no complaints at all. I've only driven it around the block, but so far I like the sound. It isn't overly loud. So far so good for me!

Rebel22, were there any modifications required to the passenger side hanger? Thanks!
