Exhaust: Joe-z vs Borla vs F-sport
Looking for real world opinions of these three. I previosly had a bassani on an act contour (12 years ago!) but remember loving the sound. I want an aggressive fairly loud. I do not want fart can or rasp at all. I have heard the original hks Lexus exhaust and it was way too soft.
Also fit and finish needs to be pertty much flawless.
Not many in my area to go hear (Milwaukee) so I've found some clips on YouTube. I guess right now I am thinking Joez, borla, then fpsort.
Thanks

First of all, I think Borla is no more. Second, JoeZ hands down, sounds is deep and on command. No rasp at all, drone is like zero. And third, if you do F-Sport, I hope you know it's axle back so you will need to get the Invidia mid pipes. Look in the performance section and you will find JoshIS408 (I think that's how he spells it) and he has the setup. I also think that sounds extremely good as well.

While I agree that the joe z is probably the best exhaust you COULD buy, you might be suited just as well with the f-sport and invidia for 3/4 the price.
Its really up to you. If you want the best and arent concerned with the few extra hundo it'll cost, get the joe z.

ive heard the joe z exhaust system and it is by far probably the best sounding exhaust. Plus i think its the only exhaust system that will add performance values to your car. It maybe tough to find the exhaust for sale, but they always pop up in the classified section.
The invidia / f-sport system is pretty nice too.

definitely a unique sounding exhaust, I believe it makes the most horsepower as well

OP, you're in luck. Gary (gc86) and I were at a mini meet/photo shoot this past weekend and we have a rollout video where you can compare our exhaust setups (since it's the same take using the same camera, many variables in comparing are eliminated).
I'm running F-Sport Intake & Exhaust + Invidia Midpipe and as Gary mentioned he has the Borla. My car is at 0:19 (the TP), Gary's is at 0:42 (the SGM).

It's obviously hard to put a sound comparison into words, but I think my setup was a little louder than Gary's, and Gary's had a bit more high-pitched rasp. Although now that I listen, mine is kinda raspy too. They both sound great.
Can't speak to the Borla, but my setup has excellent fit & finish.
