Talking Exhaust perfromance..

Hello everyone! NEW GUY HERE! i just recently joined the forums and I've just recently purchased my 12 is350 awd like 2 weeks ago. I have been researching exhaust and intakes since then day and night and it seems the intake ill be going with is the joe z intake with fsport filter but anyways.. I have been searching for the best exhaust for the awd 350 and it seems like no exhaust is better then the next.. i feel like there all exactly the same and just based off personal preference.. I'm looking for the most HP gain that's not so loud but i feel like everyone has a different exhaust saying its the best. Idk i could be wrong.. lol

I guess I', just looking for closure! i don't want to spend money and be disappointed THANKS AGAIN FOR ALL THE HELP!!! REALLY LOOKIN FORWARD TO MEETING EVERYONE ON THESE FORUMS!!!

p.s i spelled performance wrong on the title sorry lol

Welcome to the forum.
The Joe-Z intake is a great start and arguably one of the best intakes on the market (along with the F-Sport).

You are mostly correct about the exhaust.
With the exception of the Joe-Z and PPE true dual exhaust, most of them are basically the same only difference is sound and quality of materials. If you're looking for best performance I would check into the Joe-Z and PPE, although I'm not sure if they made them for AWD.
Bolt on's don't do too much on these cars so it may not be worth spending the extra money on the nicer exhausts just to get a few hp. You can't really go wrong with the popular ones (F-Sport / Invidia / HKS / Tanabe / Ect.)

Both the JoeZ and Fsport are popular choices, intake and exhausts..

From what I know the JoeZ exhaust seems to be the most expensive but also the most hp gains, I have the tanable medallion touring exhaust and personally love it as its nice and throaty but has a very minimal drone at highway and becomes quiet when your not on the throttle. I have the F sport intake.

Yes , all axlebacks are interchangeable between awd and rwd. Youre more than likely not going to be able to tell much difference with the simple bolt ons. I imagine those Mass winters will eventually destroy the exhaust anyways so maybe a more cost effective option would suit you better. I have a tsudo and it looks good , fits well , and sounds great 360$. Not too bad and less expensive to replace later. I dont believe there is a midpipe for the Awd models.

Yea BBaugher47 these winters are killer ;( Im also seeing that there isn't many options in terms of full catback and mid pipes for the awd models is there a reason why?? I didn't wanna get Rwd seeing as our winters suck and this is my daily :/ for 360 thou! That's awesome! Now I'm guessing if I get like ppe headers I won't get much hp gains either since my exhaust is only axle back?

HPS intake is basically the same thing as the Joe Z. You can match that up with the Afe Dry Filter and you have a great setup.

For exhaust, are you looking for a catback or axleback? Take a look at the ARK Grip Exhaust. It's specifically made for the AWD system.

We have great sale prices on both and have some exciting black friday sales that we are offering now.

Semotors has the tsudo exhaust. There is a post probably a little further down or maybe on page two about the exhaust. Well worth the money. Just looked there and its sold out but they will get it back shortly. I had to do the same.
