Thanks to the folks of Performance Tube Systems & Joe Z here in SoCal..!!
I am finally happy to share some pictures, videos & dyno's of my IS-F.
The PTS Full True Dual Exhaust sounds simply amazing.
It's a 2.5" true 304 Stainless Steel mandrel bent system.
It will come with an integrated X-pipe and many other quality specs. Including Fully TIG welded.
It is similar to their current design for the IS350, offered via
www.CarsonTuned.com.
However, it has quite a few changes to accommodate our V8 engine & 8-speed transmission.
This secondary cat less system has measured gains of approximately 22 rwhp and 18 ft lbs of torque.
The independent Dynos were done in 5th & 6th gear...
The 6th gear run will be used to display the most accurate results. This represents the closest 1:1 gear ratio. However, the graph is a bit choppy due to the noise interference through the dyno, from the car reaching top speed of 170 mph!!
My car was Dynod with the stock intake during the exhaust testing.
* Exhaust Weight Facts *

I only have a few pictures of the exhaust at this time. Better ones will be out soon I'm sure.
But we did take plenty of video during the Dyno & also some really nice driving videos..
