I have a 04 sedan and am going to buy a coupe midpipe. I called to order it through the dealer and he said i might have issues with the flanges or gaskets not fitting due to diffrent sizes. Also do i have to buy 2 new gaskets?
I was under the impression it was a bolt on job. Thanx in advance.

 

Will need gaskets I think but they don't really cost too much...I wouldn't really buy the midpipe from the dealer though, how much are they charging you for it? You can get it $100 maybe less off other members on here. Here's an ebay link for a member that's selling his:

Ohh and the fitment, I think some people do have some issues with it coming close to the drive shaft retainer and sometimes hitting it, I had mine modified and installed for 80 bucks at a muffler shop so no issues.

 

You will need 2 gaskets but everyone that I've installed was 100% bolt-on with no modifications.

 

i installed my 05 coupe midpipe on my 03 sedan about 3 weeks ago and it is very simple. You can reuse the gaskets from the sedan midpipe. All you do is unbolt the front 2 connecting the y pipe and unbolt the bolts connecting to the muffler and undo the hangers. Slide the midpipe in. Only modification I had to do was bend the metal shield around the driveshaft, which took all over 3 seconds. Fits great. I have no rattles and sounds AWESOME! Only probably I ran into was on of the bolts snapped on the back end by the muffler since everything was so rusted. I just drilled out the welded bolt and bought new hardware and fits like a charm. It's very simple install

 

dont ever go with your local dealer they will always tell you nothing will work or have fitting problems

 

Thanx for the info. Also would adding a hks muffler will give me alittle more performance and louder or diffrent sound? Would it be worth the money? for performance wise.

 

^x2 plus why would you pay retail of 200 something for a midpipe?

 

Adding an HKS muffler.... Do it! Sound is amazing with a coupe midpipe and it gives some gains. Nothing crazy though. But the sound is awesome. Worth the money without a doubt. I've heard midpipes with an HKS rear muffler and WOW is all I can say. Really unleashes the VQ engine sound. I'll be adding an HKS muffler in the spring to my coupe midpipe. I highly suggest it.

Here is a sticky that provides sound clips of a bunch of different exhaust sounds on sedans including the HKS with coupe midpipe https://g35driver.com/forums/showthr...st+compilation

 

Does HKS have a special muffler for the 04 sedan or can I just buy a universal muffler, also what size should i be looking for? thanx fof all the input

 

this is what it looks like. you can get it here http://www.iapdirect.com/product.php?productid=41886 There are cheaper prices. just look around. Look in the marketplace on here too

 

Try TH Motorsports in the marketplace they have them for like $365 I think

 

Hey Teloc05 I have both the mid-pipe and HKS for sale. Check out my thread.

They said it was beeing ordered from japan and can take up to a month.
Do you know where they might have it in stock and also i'm located in bc canada, or can refer me to a site here

 

There is nothing in your thread or a problem. I'm super interested in ur midpipe but located in bc canada. let me know.

 

It'll be cheaper to get it from the US, I got mine from a shop in Toronto and it cost me $500 CDN + tax...of course at that time the dollar wasn't at parity and buying it from thmotorsports would've cost $375 + $100 to ship to Canada and then customs and brokerage charges on top of that so I decided to buy it locally. I think the link was broken in the post by dunglan7, here ya go:
