If you just installed it, it will definitely get louder as it breaks in. Mine definitely got louder after the first several hundred miles, but it is still mild compared to some other aftermarket exhausts. If you really want to up the volume, then you should add a set of Berk Hig Flow Cat (HFC's). That will definitely do the trick.

No problem, man!
FYI... this is far from a dead forum... there are many guys in just the 2007+ sedan section that have well over 10K posts... I'm far from the most active guys on here and I've already got over 1300 posts in less than 5 months.... so there are plently of active people on here. As others have already stated, you will notice that the forums are the most busy in the late afternoon during the week. I think this is when people have the most time to check the forums out.

Lol it seems to be busy with the same people lol, like me I'm always on here hahaha. Install your HFC already!!!
Hey man... You will not be disappointed in this exhaust... fitment is geat and it sounds great.. nice and deep, but not too loud. If yo search, there are several threads on this forum that have sound clips of this exhaust on 2007 - 2008 G35 sedans with and without high fow cats. Csquared on here even posted some sund clips recently of his Tanabe exhaust with Berk HFC's and a custom Magnaflow X-Pipe. Here's the thread I started on this exhaust a while back.... there are before and after sound clips with the stock cats at the bottom of the first page.

Just get it you'll love it. Mine was a little quite at first now when the wife droves off to work I stand there and listen.. SO sexy.. An she still has not noticed it.. LOL

Yeah the sound when you're behind the car as you drive off is crazy sexy, also if you drive through a tunnel, bring tissue.
ANMVQ, yeah no problems so far, just the weird blowoff sound or whistle when the rpms drop to 2.9k rpm. Maybe it was just your car, did the guy you sell the HFC to have any problems? The other thing is when did you get your car? I heard there are multiple versions of the ECU maybe your version didnt' handle it well? I read some guy had the same problem but it was a busted O2 sensor in the Headers.

Yea, Maybe it was my ECU, Sux man.. I got her back three weeks ago?? I thought about the header O2 when it first went in in NOV 08 but they said they all were good. Glad top hear you have not had any problems..

Thanks, I'm glad it's okay too, I mean when did you buy your car, My car was made in June 08 and it's fine. Also I went with an X pipe, if you want flow/power maybe you can look into that. I have a thread somewhere don't want to thread jack here lol.
Oh sorry, Got her the last week of Oct 08. But I have no clue what the build date is. Never looked for it.. I think I will be doing a X pipe just waiting to move onto our new house.. 
Hmm thats really close to when i got my car I got mine the end of August, so it could be around the same build time, i really don't' know why your car was like that with the HFC. Oh nice congrats on the new house!
