I see that it is an H pipe. Do any other companies make it in H pipe? Most are X pipes which give better gains on top end but gives it a higher tone. H pipe has a much deeper sound to them.

Heard this exhaust in person, sounds good, little quiet for my taste though!

Default Joe Z

I'm sure this question has come up before but I'm dying to upgrade my RC-F with Joe-Z parts...I used to buy from L Tuned parts for my IS-F. Does anyone know if Joe is making parts yet?

Yep, he just finished his exhaust and I believe is currently testing out his new intake at this time

Thanks! also RastaRacer what's going on with your set-up?

Is there any added drone noticeable in the cabin with this exhaust upgrade?

There is a little bit of drone at highway speeds, but nothing that the stereo cannot cover up.

^^^^HaHa I guess that's what makes the world go round. I never play the sound system, ever. I'd much rather listen to intake and exhaust sounds. The intake and exhaust on my truck is also modified. Never play the radio in my truck either.

It's the best looking rcf exhaust available today, imho, and the resonated version is just the right amount of tuned noise. There is a bit of drone under load, partial throttle at higher gears. I was a bit miffed at first, but have gotten used to it over time as I tend to drive at higher RPMs where possible. With the factory exhaust, I drove slower and in auto mode more often (quiet all the time so wasn't inspired to be on it). The drone effect increases with a passenger in the car. Needless to say, I found the non-resonated sound a bit jarring well beyond my tolerance level for cabin noise.

I highly dislike the shiny chrome tin can look that seems to be popular with the JDM scene. Cheapens the look of the car. The Apex'i unit minimizes the muffler can section wrapping it tightly around the pipe to resemble a single piece. I had mine ceramic coated black to make it look very factory like Porsche does as well as other select manufacturers who've been in this game longer than Lexus.

I got a chance to meet the Apexi guys who did my install. Chill dudes. They put in a lot of R&D time to ensure OEM-like fitment. Well done!
