To Roberto--How much drone is there at highway cruising speeds? Aka, 6th gear, 70 mph. Can you have a normal conversation without yelling?

Just for clarification, do you have the axel-back, or cat-back?

Looks good. Is it raspy on de acceleration? ALso any chance you could take video outside the car with some flybye's?

I have the cat-back myself, it was a pain for my to install it wasn't just a bolt on for me had to do some bending to make it fit properly and I had to buy extra nut and bolts plus 2 more gaskets.

On the good side though, it sounds amazing the acceleration sound has a deep tone almost resembles the impreza sound. During high way speed around 3k rpm the is little to no sound in the cabin. At idle its deeper than stock but not too loud.

Do you think that axel-back would present the same difficulty?

Depends some people didnt have difficulty putting it on it was a straight bolt on. It depends on what you get if you got lucky or not.

i just got the same j2 dual tip exhaust but the connection between the j2 midpipe and the stock cat pipe does not work. the j2 midpipe is 2.75in, the stock cat pipe is a male ball and cup flange that needs a female 3in. the j2 midpipe flange is too small and wont fit the 3in ball

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!

sounds good and good price but way too loud for a dd for me.

In person this exhaust sounds awesome, and for $413 on Ebay currently you can't beat it

Woah! Easy! There's no need for shouting.

Besides, yelling at people here won't get your problem solved since ft86Club.com is not exactly the J2E Customer Service Department.

That said, I would first recommend that you contact J2E and see if they can help. If you're not that patient, take a picture and maybe we can help you get sorted out in your own thread instead of hijacking someone else's.

Whoa, that last video was very offensive. Not all Asians are jerk you know. I'm Korean btw.

Flip the situation and think about the other side. If another person makes video with driving footage and says "fucking Filipino"... you'll be offended. Just saying so next time you can think before you say something. Just say "fucking jerk". Don't care if the driver is white, black, brown or yellow. It's just for that single person.

by the way, thumbs up on the exhaust. Great sound.

troek · 05-02-2013, 05:38 PM

hey! not all jerks are bad drivers! im offended now being a jerk my self.

eikond · 05-02-2013, 07:30 PM

I ordered one of these today. $410 shipped with frontpipe.

The only design feature I don't like is how the Y pipe is mostly aimed at the pass. side exhaust pipe. So most of the exhaust will come out that side.. But at 2.75" that shouldn't be a problem.
