makes it louder because this y-pipe flows freer than the stock one.

I got mine delivered yesterday (thanks to the fast shipping from Louis at Invision Performance), and I'm installing it on Friday morning, so I'll let you know how much louder than stock it is. It shouldn't be too much louder since I'm still using the stock midpipe resonator and muffler.

I installed the Tanabe Y-pipe this morning. It fit perfectly, but I had to reuse the stock gaskets that go from the cats to the Y-pipe because the gaskets from Tanabe that came with the Y-pipe were the wrong size (too large). All 3 gaskets that came with the Y-pipe were the same size and they only fit the rear connection properly, not the 2 front ones to the cats.

I really don't notice any significant change in the exhaust sound. If its any louder now I'm sure not noticing it. The sound may now be a little deeper, especially at WOT, but I'm not even sure of this right now. I'll have a better idea if the Y-pipe has changed the exhaust sound on Tuesday when I go back to work since I park my car inside a 5 story indoor garage. That's when I really get to hear my G's exhaust sound.

My "butt-dyno" says the car is pulling a little harder overall and especially around 3000 rpm. Overall, I'm pleased with this latest mod.

I was reading somewhere on here that you can feel a slight loss of torque at low end but I guess not?

I took my G for a long drive yesterday. If there is any loss of torque, I surely can't feel it. Maybe my APS plenum helps compensate for the slight loss in back pressure the Y-pipe produces, and I'm not getting the low end torque loss others have claimed?
I wish I had easy access to a dyno around here. It would have been nice to do some before and after comparisons.
I do notice some pleasant, subtle, deeper resonance sounds when cruising on the highway at about 70-80 mph; certainly not any type of "drone" or "rasp".
Overall, I'm very happy with the performance of my car at this time.
