That's a good exhaust for states that aren't as strict as Cali. Would I love to get a full JoeZ exhaust hell yeah, but Can I deal with the smog/legal issues, NO.

You need to try to listen to as many as you can and also compare looks. I think PPE's exhaust is f'ing awesome, but not everyone will share that same sentiment.

Take a look at as many as you can if you are in the market for one and decide. You'll also notice some "exhausts" are just axle back, while other are full systems which include a midpipe and delete the second set of useless CATs. Some are louder while others are quieter and all have somewhat different looks.

Good luck!

go with fsport if you want sporty sound!

tanabe would be a bassy exhaust from what i've read on the forums.i have the greddy sp2 it's a bit on the bassy side haha but i like it.

but if you can afford the fsport, why not just pay a bit more for joe z?
