I can get it from Japan, but really don't want to pay $350 shipping plus full retail (~$750) for it.
If you find a place to get this, please share and start another thread. That sounds perfect to me!!! Aside from the price...

Hey Rick. Did you ever find out what size piping this system uses? I want to have a custom X or H pipe made to go from my Berk cats to this new system.

If this helps, according to the tanabe website, their piping goes from 1.97 inches to 2.36 inches (50mm-60mm). With 4.53 inch (115mm) tips

Sorry guys, but we can't run a Group Buy here.
GB posts have been moved to the Vendor GB section of the Classifieds check it out there.


Thread remains open for Tanabe discussion.

Thanks

Cool man vids.. From the pic on the Tanabe web page looks like just some PB, and a set of box wrenches probally 12mm for the clamps. Doesnt look to hard at all, Just make sure you spray the bolts on the factory system with the PB 5 mins before..

...that's what you get when you pull too hard on the wrench


I agree, basic hand tools...

Hey Clement. I'm thinking you'll need pretty much exactly what Cabad mentioned. You should also have some WB40 handy to spray the bolts ahead of time. I'm already had mine off and all I recall using was a 12mm / 14mm combo box wrench and a 12mm and 14mm socket with an extension. You may also need a nut splitter and a comple of extra nuts for your clamps, though, since you get lots of salt up there.

Awesome... That's exactly what I needed to know. Thanks man!! The main piping is perfect to match up with my Berks, so all I would need to do is have the small section where they neck down to the 2" stock piping cut-off when I get my custom piping done.

damn I hope i dont have to break my nuts lol. From what i recall there is just 1 bolt and nut clamping the exhaust down to the mufflers, get that off and take it off the hangers right? Ugh, i'll need to get a bunch of combo wrenches.
