Cant wait to get mine, but Im such a procrastinator. I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to install it first because there's no way I have to room or patience to let is lay around in my apartment!

Really simple if you have (or can borrow) a couple ramps, a pair of jackstands and a 2 ton floor jack. Took me about an hour since I've never messed w/ these exhausts before, now that I've done one it would take about 1/2 hour. If you need specific help just send a PM, there are a few things that will make it easier.

Some unboxing pics just for reference. Shipping was literally 3 days and I'm in Canada.



Clean enough to lay on the carpet.

If there is a complaint, it's the 1-2 transition isn't perfect:

Looks like it arrived in pristine condition, they do a great job packing those for protection. Look forward to hearing your review once it's installed and more pics once it's on your G.
Mine took 3 days and I'm only a state away

Install was simple and it fits and looks great IMO. Sounds perfect, deep growl, under most conditions, though a but boomy at low RPMs. Stock at idle, great at WOT, decent at cruising, a bit of drone/ a touch loud in the 1500-2500 range inside the car when cruising around 20-30 mph, though I'm sure any exhaust louder than stock would do is.

Very happy.

Exclamation

So I thought I'd give everyone a heads up, basically I've had the Top Speed for a while now, excellent exhaust, EXCEPT;

2 weeks ago I got some GTM resonated test pipes, and let me tell you, this exhaust rasps like crazy, and the drone is just absurd.

The Top Speed exhaust seems to only sound good with the stock cats and stock y-pipe, if you're thinking of high flow cats, or an upgraded y-pipe, expect the sound quality degrade quite a bit.

If anyone is thinking of this exhaust, and planning test pipes or high flow cats in the future, this is something to note.

hmm..this is good to know, care to post a vid or something so we can hear how it sounds? Also if you're planning on getting rid of it due to this fact, let me know!

For the record, I think any cat back will be loud/raspy with test pipes.

As for power difference, it's tough to tell. I'm sure there are a few pnies to be found, but it's tough to gauge ~5-8 HP's.

I just wrote the seller asking if they had any more of these, and their response is;
"Hi, These exhaust for G35/G37 Sedan 07-11 are sold out, next shipment due in June. We will list on E-Bay as soon in-stock. Thank You."
Not the best English, but hey....who has good English anymore??! HAHA
