Just in case anyone was thinking about purchasing this exhaust... I am warning you not to. The fitment was horrible, the welds were weak and it was an overall POS exhaust. The rear hanger welds broke off of the muffler on both sides. The mid-pipe is two pieces which connect with a sleeve instead of a flange. It slipped again and again until I had it welded. On more than one occassion the exhaust fell off of the rear hangers. This was due to really cheap hangers that bended and flexed with every bump.

The JIC Y-pipe is top notch and I still have it on my car.

Please do not ruin your Holidays or anyone else's by purchasing this exhaust.

 

Tnx for the look out

 

yeah, thanks

 

Any plans on returning the exhaust? You should write a complaint to JIC so they know their products are sucking. :/

 

I am definitely going to try and do something, but I am going to wait until after the holidays.

 

lou: you should just slow down. i know you have 415whp, but maybe you're driving too fast that the exhaust can't stay on ! j/k
good luck with JIC.

 

Thanks Michelle. Want an exhaust? I will give you a good deal!

 

I wouldn't bother calling JIC either on the problem. They have poor customer service from what I've read on several forums from different people.

 

That sucks to hear. I have to call them though, if anything just to complain.

 

Yes, JIC isn't the best with customer service. If you are looking into getting a similar exhaust, you can try the magnaflow. It's made by JIC, but has flanges, instead of a slip pipe, and fitment is really good. However due to the size of the piping on the exhaust, you really can't get around the fact that the piping barely clears the rear sway bar, differential case, and under chasis brace. The performance gains are really good, and the sound is very nice. The weight reductions is absolutely awsome too. But you really have to play with the hangers to get it adjusted to clear everything.
I actually had one other issue with the exhaust as well from JIC, and that was the resonator broke apart from the welds inside the actual piping, and began to rattle very loudly. It took a long time to get my exhaust back from JIC because I had them warranty it.

 

I kept the JIC Y-pipe on and added a NISMO exhaust. The JIC Y-pipe makes more sense to me. It has less bends than the NISMO Y-pipe. But of course I am holding onto the NISMO Y-pipe... just in case.

 

yet people's opinions of JIC will never reach the lows that they have for Stillen...

 

Wow, has there been problems with other JIC products?

 

Hey Tony,

I just ordered the JIC spartan exhaust (Titanium) This guy on this thread is saying that it's crap. Should I reconsider? I would be pretty pissed off if I spent over 1000.00 for junk. Your thoughts?

Thanks, Jason I.

 

How could this exhaust be as bad as you say it is? It is suppose to be one of the best exhausts for the Z especially the Titanium Spartan 2.

 

I have a few JIC products on my car, and they have been nothing but top notch!

 

I have used JIC products, and now I am back using their single exit exhaust and am loving it. It sounds great and is much lighter. Their y-pipe is top notch, very good quality. I do knot that JIC's customer service sometimes is still a bit bad at following through, but it's getting better. And as for that particular exhaust, I have never heard of anything like that before in my life, with any company's exhausts.....

 

Does anyone have any sound clips of the JIC Spartan 2 (titanium). I found the Spartan 1 (steel) on here but nothing for the Spartan 2 (titanium).

 

I wanna hear a clip for the type 2 as well.
