I have a side question here... why does dofu continue to post and delete messages?
What did they say?!?

 

I went with Stillen's cat back exhaust and I like it a lot as I wanted some nice notes, but not too rice or wake the wife in the morning, although she does here me leave more now than before....$1069 delivered plus $150 installation with local shop... no drone, I commute daily 25 miles one way at 70 mph plus....the fit is perfect, although I'm sure FI is equally as good and maybe better for some folks.

 

I am going to buy components and have a local shop fab up a custom job. I dont think our cars put out enough hp for mandrel bent tubing to make a major difference and i dont want to spend a grand on a cat-back setup.

 

I tried the Borla cat back and although the tone was friggen' nice and deep, it just had too much drone and/or a little too loud . I was looking for a deeper sound without added volume. Probably asking for too much. I put a post up on youtube somewhere of the sound recordings.

I didn't want to drop the coin for a FI system,
so I changed out just the rear mufflers for some Magnaflows.

It worked out great.... a deeper richer tone & easy on the wallet.

 

I'm Looking at the Tanabe exhaust, It's just a rear section thou. But the sound from Tanabe is great. The is a vid clip on their web site and there are few on here trying to het a group buy. The cheapest I saw on line was 581+ shipping. So more like $680 shipped. Nop to bad.. ??

 

680 for two muffler and two tips seems like way to much for me. I priced out a cat back system(components only) and found a local shop to do the work for 600 total.

But if the tanabe is what you want do it!

 

Yea $600 for a full system is good, the local shops here want 725-875 to build a system. If wanna spend that much I would buy a used FI or stillen. I really don't want to spend anywere close to 1k for a system. What componets did you pick. Magnaflow stuff. There is a guy on here that built is own Magnaflow system and sounded sick.

 

It's cause the YEN cost so much right now. It's crazy

 

the tanabe mufflers are very nice though...i was going to buy them but didn't only because i thought the tips were off...but after owning the FI exhaust, i realize it was only the angle of the pictures...kinda like how it seems like a golf ball travels in the NE direction when in reality the ball is going straight...

 

Lol nice analogy uga!

 

I will keep ya posted when i get it completed.

 

I recall reading that the 09 G37 sedans have a different exhaust and now sound more like the coupe's... I am wondering if anyone has verified this.

 

Really? I thought they said it was just slightly deeper because of the higher displacement and vvel or am I wrong?

 

I would just like to say that I have Borla exhaust and although some people dont like it becaue "oooh its not hks, greddy etc" or they like the stock exhaust better ( some say that borla sound doesnt go with our cars) I can care less about their oppinions, I love the sound it makes. The thing that matters is what you think about it, the only exhaust I would consider getting(which I did before I made my choice) would be Fast Intentions, I still stand by my choice though Oh and if your considering buying borla or anything else you should def. contact Mike@CZP, he will give you great deals on their czp website.
