Default Feedback

Alright, so this is long overdue (my apologies), but here is some feedback after having the PTS JoeZ series full exhaust installed on my car for a couple of months now.

First of all, I'd like to address one of the concerns some members may have:

Originally Posted by Stitch626
That's would be my fear as well, I added a header to my 07 civic 1.8 running with a CAI, Megan racing downpipe and fully GReddy Ti-C exhaust system and it became unbearably loud like I couldn't hear my passengers
For those who DO actually want to hear their passengers and/or music, I will say this exhaust has no cabin drone AT ALL. Listening to music or passengers is not affected (I actually did have a passenger in my vehicle to test out this theory, and I drove on the freeway with no traffic, so I could actually accelerate).

Some additional points about this exhaust I'd like to make are:

-Silent at low RPMS (2.5k and below). Perfect for cruising and not attracting unwanted attention from cops. (Cause we all know my wheels alone catch their attention So I don't need additional attention from the 5-0 hehe)

- At above 2.5k, the exhaust comes alive and has a very nice note to it. Low tone, not annoying and high pitched. (You can hear it in the videos I've posted-- YouTube 1ntegress or look at my Instagram @integress )

- Downshifting sounds awesome OK this one may be subjective but again, you can hear for yourself in the videos I've posted.

Aside from the sounds, it looks great-- it's not too flashy, and doesn't scream "HEY Look at me, I'm an exhaust!" but it does add a nice touch to the rear end

I want one! Hopefully it comes out soon so I don't spend my money on something different.

Any update about the release of this exhaust? And joe z, would you say this sounds similar to the gs350 exhaust(full catback)? I love the way that one sounds.

Release update? Price? F Sport exhaust is getting a lot of attention and leaving this one behind. Tanabe is just around the corner I imagine as well. Keep us posted on this one!!

Ahh, I remember eagerly waiting for the GS cat-back to be released. Ready to hear more people join the dark side. I fall in love a little more every time I start up the engine.

Aloha,

It sounds better than the F sport exhaust IMHO. I hope the axle back one would sound just as good. Can someone make a video to show how it sounds from inside the car? I really want to know if there is any cabin drone when cruising at 70 mph.
