So three days ago I recieved the J2 Engineering Quad Tipped Exhaust. Two days ago I installed the exhaust. Today I removed it and put the stock exhaust back on. I will be selling the J2 Quad locally and will put an ad on the classified soon.
So here is the scoop. It is a good exhaust. I looks great and the magnet confirms that the tubing is actually stainless steel, but it is just too damn loud for me. I like a deep exhaust and this is definitely that. It sounds amazing when it starts up and fast idles. The quad tips really break up the sound and give it a nice grumble. It sounds fantastic when you open this thing up. It is actually pretty mellow and shows no droning at 2.8k RPM and above. Below 2.8 it gradually gets deeper with its deepest tone around 1.5k. If I was younger and still single I would probably keep this exhaust. However, I am not, my wife hates it, and for a daily driver it is just too much for me. I do recommend using some Dynamat Extreme or something like it behind the heat sheild facing the car body as the exhaust presses against it and causes a rattle without it.
I snapped off a few photo's of the exhaust while it was still on the car up on the lift and will attach them here. If anyone is looking for a great deal send me a PM or watch the Members classifieds. FYI, I will be including all the original gaskets and hardware along with 3 square feet of Dynamat Extreme that you will need for the heat sheild as this exhaust does press against the heat sheild. That and the loud sound was the only criticism I could find.
