Found this while trawling through the net. Quite interesting reading about the power gains from the K&N intake let alone the Joe Z exhaust.

Looks like they do international shipping.

@mike mThat's interesting mike I've been having a read into the various owners comments both in America and Australia and the consensus of opinion is well made nice sound but far to much drone, some people having been removing them and selling on and or replacing with something else, shame as it's not silly money but you would have to factor in shipping and fitting.

[mike m]

Good to know about the drone. Shame. 

Being a tight git id probably make a day of it and fit it myself.

[Big Rat]

@mike mI agree anything made of this quality is most likely going to be a reasonable fit, as it's a cat back system retains the central box as well.

@DAW David you going to bring your White beauty to Cosford on 19th November ?

If it's of interest I have the RR Racing carbon quad tip Magnaflow upgrade for Borla full system shipped from US with zero drone, and the K&N typhoon kit (Demon Tweeks). Excellent combo in my opinion however, still to dyno to see results. Not much louder than stock until you give it some beans... then it sounds insane. Low RPM sound effects from the K&N are enough to make a grown man smirk.

Just try and get the exhaust shipped as a gift or warranty item so FedEx don't fleece you with Duty & VAT ....

I think I'm sold on the K&N already but the exhaust sounds interesting  

If you're anywhere near Blairgowrie sometime I'd love to hear it.

I also have the K&N typhoon intake. Gives you amazing growl around two thousand revs

Yes although I seem to recall one disappearing during shipping, mentioned on here not so long ago, which was not very encouraging 😢

TBO with H&S on my door step it would be daft not to fit one of their exhausts, which is the plan.

We should have a Scotland meet one day, there must be half a dozen of us!

[Defratos]

I had Joe-Z on my car for well over 3 years and absolutely  loved them. 

Personally drone was no where near as bad as the other exhausts out there, the only one that probably drones less was the Borla exhaust. 

The sound of the Joe-Z with headers was orgasmic, below video is  a sample but does not do it any justice in real life:

I'd be up for that.

[mike m]

@Defratos that sounds nuts, alot louder with those headers. Liked the downshifting noise.

[Big Rat]

@Defratos What was that little white German speck disappearing fast in your mirror 😂😂😂

Someone  should set up an anonymous account on M3cutters and post it 🤓
