Here is a Joe Z for sale used, i believe all years are the same although you may want to double check it'll fit since your is newer.

 

The intake tube is made of aluminum btw. You should be able to install that without any issues of any sort. Did your exhaust come in yet?

 

I have not yet received the exhaust! Tracking number says by end of day Saturday! My friend says i should get it by noon this Saturday! I'm excited

 

Ohhhh this Saturday. I read Saturday and thought last. Definitely stinks being on the east coast watching that long trek from the west! Do y'all use salt on your roads or just sand?

 

Sorry im late to reply to this thread. Haven't been as active as I used to be (although I'm still fairly active lol). But yeah I agree, the Tsudo exhaust is a great option for the money. You get the gains of any other axle back exhaust, but you pay less (I got mine for $340), get an exhaust of equal quality, get a nice deep sound, and the tips are gorgeous

All in all I think you'll be very happy with your purchase. For some reason the Tsudo is getting harder to find so I'm glad I got mind while I could. I've had it for over a year and no problems at all. However since then I've had it turned into a custom true dual exhaust but even when it was just an axle back I still loved it. Especially considering how quiet these cars are stock.


I don't have very many good pics of the exhaust but here's the best one I could find of it. Believe me, in person, this exhaust looks great. I'll try and get another pic for you once I get my car back from the shop.

 

Look at that sexy ***. Lol. Looking great man. Awesome progress!

 

Haha thanks bro. I've been pretty bummed about my car the last 2-3 weeks. Was having some sort of electrical issue that had it in the shop this whole time. But good news is that I just got her back (for the 3rd time) and I think we finally solved the issue

Now I just need to make sure everything is fine and I can go ahead and send out my ECU for tuning at OV

 

Bummer to hear that. My buddy had some serious electrical issues too a few months back. Ill ask him today what his deal was.

 

ouuuu LOOKS AWESOME! i cant wait to get mine! for some reason shipping date changed from saturday to Wednesday so im still waiting!!! i also will have pics!!!

 

HEY TRO209 did you have any fitment issues at all on your exhaust!!?? i got mine and threw it on and the left side muffler sits at a 45 dagree angle and its pushed to the right a it cuz the right tip touches the bumper also it hits the suspension on the right side as well!? i took it off n put the stock one back on i dont want to send it back but if i have to pay to get it all customized n bend **** i kinda dont wanna keep it...

 

salt and sand ;( i usually wash my car indoors every week in the winter thou i try to keep them as best possible to make it threw the winter lol

 

Yeah, and sorry I probably should have mentioned that sooner. But yeah it had a very slight fitment issue with my replica gfx rear. It didn't really hit the bumper exactly but It was super close to hitting when they first installed it. I remember the shop pointing that out to me as well and saying that cheaper aftermarket brands tend to not always have 100% fitment. I was bummed at first thinking that I had just wasted $300+ on this exhaust but my worries quickly vanished as all it took to fix it was some heat being applied to the piping and the guy giving it some force to pull the muffler out to the side just a little bit.

Best of all he didn't even charge me to do it But then again that all depends on where you take your car to get the exhaust installed. But honestly the process of fixing the slight fitment issue seemed easy enough to fix that any reputable muffler shop should be able to fix it for you easily and cheap.

Let me know how it goes for you!

 

Yeah I'm pretty bummed as well The car is up and running again finally but I had a circuit breaker installed on one of the fuses that keeps blowing out, to prevent the car from leaving me stranded. For some reason it keeps trying to blow the fuse from time to time and you can tell just by looking at the dash when the PRND background light on the cluster goes off for a few seconds... Anyway It's a long and complicated story I'd rather not really explain.

I've actually decided giving up the car to Carmax soon after I save a bit more money and probably moving up to a Gs350 Fsport or switching brands entirely to try something new. I don't really want to switch brands since I love Lexus, but Ive always kind of wanted a V8 or something more performance oriented like a CTS V. But I don't know yet what I want haha.

 

You have any idea on the exact gains of this exhaust? Just for my own comparisons. I did notice this one is much cheaper than what is available, which is very much appealing.

 

Well after 100 bucks some cutting and welding I finally got it to sit flush.. sounds great feels great!! Sucks that I needed so much to let it sit flush but o well....
