Who says the Sedan doesn't get any Lovin?

Its brighter, clearer, deeper, louder and with less tendency for rasp or drone.
Sometimes I'll be doing fitment testing on my Z or G with the stock Y pipe because I need to know how a system fits or sounds on the stock Y pipe. But after a few days, the stock Y pipe always leaves me wanting to put the XYZ pipe on.
The XYZ just sounds better in every way.

I'll get some pics soon. I plan on getting a video up for you guys as well.
Just spent 2 days moving down to Pheonix...had a coolant hose pop a leak.
Tony, I'm running the copper TB gasket bypass...the back side hose sprung a leak. I'm pretty sure it was from the extra strain with the TB spacer. Just a heads up for you.

First Impressions:
Man this exhaust is horrible!
Just kidding!
I'm uploading videos/pics as I type, but I wanted to get some first impressions up.
To start, I have a 2004 G35X with a ZTube/PopCharger and thats IT in terms of performance mods. No spacer (yet), no HFC/Test Pipes, nothin.
And I got the VQ system (YBack, no XYZ pipe), no resonators on the midpipe.
Firstly, I love the looks of the exhaust, just wish it was twin tips. The tip sticks out a bit far for me, and the exhaust looks a bit low, but all in all it looks great.
Sounds good, it goes from very different to almost stock from low to high end. There is a bit of drone in the 1.5-3k ranges, especially just light pressure on the pedal.
As for power, I noticed a good bit more power to the wheels with this installed. Granted it rained this morning, but I still noticed that when I got on it, I could accelerate much faster, although I haven't gotten to release the top end yet, just spent 10 minutes driving around.
All in all, this exhaust system is great. Only complaints are the drone in the low range, and how low it sits.
Pics: (MY CAR IS FILTHY, I know. It's raining, and it's Rochester NY (ask IvoryGT if you don't believe how much the weather sucks))
Finally figured out how to post videos without HTML so here they are(They're crappy, but I was a bit late to work this morning so I kinda had to hurry and I managed to get one going through a tunnel which sounds pretty sweet)
Sitting on the ground just after being installed
Low/mid range spurts
take off
Somewhat hard take off
Tunnel video
I'll get better videos up either tonight or soon
