I run their single can gt exhaust(s13), fits awesome and sounds great.
I also have their coilovers and they are great. Dailying on them as well drifting on.

Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to pick up coils and does have the money for higher end stuff. Plus the guys at enjuku are awesome and will help you out if you run into a problem.

To be quite honest i'd be comfortable running any of their parts. Even their boost parts. Of course people are gonna talk shit. Fuck em. If you want to walk around like a giant vagina your whole life and run stock shit and save save save go ahead and not buy them...... I bet lots of people have shitloads of fun with their isis parts. SHITLOADS.

i think i paid under 100 yesterday for goodridge lines w/ reusable aeroquip connectors. gee, lets not go overboard and spend too much money on 4 SS lines... i mean, 100 bucks is REALLY pushing my budget.

iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiidiots
Wow man your taking everything wayy to serious! i have never heard of steel braided lines failing and its obveous ass fuck just by looking on the bite of the welds theres good penetration on the exhaust! Not too cold on the welds at all and not running the welds too hot! Go get laid and stop giving a fuck so often! ull be much happyer.

too serious.

to serious would imply that ifxi is also named serious.

I just hate the fact that everything they sell is a copy of some other companies product that they had to develop.

im running their coilovers on my s13, maxed out on 17's and its plenty low, pignose lip was scrapin on the freeway changin lanes. ride quality is awesome for dailying too, rides very smooth through the streets of downtown but is nice and stiff through drifts. for the price you cant beat it ($779 shipped from enjuku) also you will notice how enjuku doesnt sell any godspeed or other noname bullshit coils, if a site like enjuku backs it then i say go for it, i have no complaints

I ordered their braided clutch line (didnt think you could really build a shitty braided line), well I was wrong. Hooked it up, went to bleed the clutch and their was a giant leak near the fitting. Ended up buying some brake line from oreilly's instead.

I will never buy an Isis part again.

bought a set of their turbo lines a few years ago, the black ones. didnt realize they werent actually STAINLESS BRAIDED, they were like some black fabric and regular rubber hose under it. found out the hard way when the line was resting slightly near my turbo and it burned through the fabric stuff and ate the hose...started pissing coolant everywhere. i guess thats why ISIS came out with ACTUAL STAINLESS BRAIDED lines now...

after that i wouldnt buy shit for them, cutting corners on something like that just shows me that if theyre willing to cut corners on some turbo lines, i would be scared to even buy anything else.

That's not cutting corners. That's black nylon braided hose, which(opinion) looks better than ss lines and actually costs more. A ss line would also eat through if it was resting against something. It's your fault for not making sure the lines weren't rubbing. Broadfield had all Nylon Braided lines on his SR setup and never had a problem.

ive said it before and ill say it again - many of these parts are made by the same fucking manufacturer and labeled as someone elses. plain and simple. they do it with coil springs, radiators, intercooler and believe it or not - suspension parts. do you honestly think that EVERY "manufacturer" can afford to do everything they supposedly say they do?
get real. do some research and youll see what i mean. its the same thing for tools - ever wonder why masterbuilt look like snap on and yet others look like craftsman? same manufacturer, different label.

if it makes you feel better to buy an intercooler that has a stencil on it saying, "mishimoto" or "hks" because its "better" than cxracing, then so be it. but ill bet dollars to donuts that the same manufacturer is making some of your beloved parts and selling them to the next highest bidder.

Actually, the black braided line (atleast the good quality stuff) is braided carbon fiber, not nylon. Its much stronger, looks cleaner, and doesnt chew through paint and stuff that it rubs against like youve said. We run it on the racecar for those exact purposes. Isis just plain sucks.

And you must be fucking stupid... Yes you are correct in a sense that Megan, Isis, Godspeed, and maybe even some other brands such as stance, etc. All get their coils from the same place. However, if you think HKS parts are made in the same factory as CX Racing, your delusional. The diffrence is HKS, Mishimoto, Etc. Do in house R&D, tuning, and tweaking of their products. Godspeed, CX, Isis just knock off what the good companies are building, they do no R&D, and do not care if it only lasts a few hundred miles.
