That sounds nearly perfect! I dig that pop (backfire) at the end of the first clip. The only thing I really wish it had was larger, better looking tips, either with a curled edge or sharp, and preferably straight cut, not slanted. This looks too similar to stock. Most people here will be ok with that, but some want a bit extra. I guess that small % of us just gonna have to wait for HKS and Greddy to come up with something to compare. Joe z, please do consider making another version that's slightly louder in both sound and look regard. Then you will have something truly special for everyone. The sound of this exhaust is already amazing.

Agreed with shaddix.. Doesn't have that oompf an aftermarket exhaust should have.. although some people here may be okay with the stockish look/sound

Here's another video (better audio quality) of the car moving towards and away from the camera. All done in Sport Mode.

Awesome thread "IntegresS"... Thanks for sharing your experience...

Some quick info on the videos.. I'm pretty sure the mic was covered up in some of the iphone videos..

Here is one I took..!!


Click above thumbnail for 15 sec video

I can honestly say it shouldn't be any louder than it already is... But I'm sure "IntegresS" will be giving us driver feed back very soon..

The tip OD is already a massive 4 inches (approx 102 mm).. Again not sure bigger is going to look any better..


Pricing & Availabilty "TBA" late Februaury 2014, via our CL Approved vendor

FULL Exhaust System will be for RWD only
Axle-back Exhaust System will be for RWD & AWD




Thank You

~ Joe Z

Curious who your vendor is for selling on here as well as weight difference between stock and this system... Do we at least double-digits pounds from the curb weight if we add this?

Are the mufflers straight through? Hard to tell in the pictures. I am more concerned with the performance gain than the sound.

Aloha,
