350Z HR Y-pipe installed on a 2003 G35

Alright I got the Y pipe installed at the dealer today.
Initial reactions after about 1 hour of driving. When I first revved the car I immediately notice the exhaust note was a bit louder and smoother - sort of more free flowing. There was about 20% increase in power in the lower revs (till about 3500k). On the highway I still felt the power all the way to about 5500k and shifting is a tad bit smoother esp from 2nd to 3rd.
Yes, there is some drone but I think it will go away after a week or two. I had the same drone on my new hks exhaust las year which became quieter in about a few weeks.
I need to see how this mod performs after the ecu adapts - probably by end of next week.
I love the exhaust note now as it is a bit louder but deeper!

It appears to be identical in appearance. The only difference is the flex pipes on mine are shorter in length. I don't know what other car it could have came off of, the person that sold it on craigslist had the entire exhaust from a 08 350z.
I dunno man. But I'm taking this one off this week and putting my stock one back on. I will take pics this time when I swap them so you can see what I mean.

guys I've noticed something new today after installing the 08 350z y pipe. As I was revving my car to 2.5 to 3k then letting the car off completely, I noticed a hiss sound from the rear after letting the revs drop (foot completely off gas)... Now the dealer installed the part correctly with new gaskets... any clue what the issue is? Is the y pipe not broken in yet seeing it is brand new?

Well I learned that I got something else, lol. I feel like a jackass, but ah well, live and learn I guess. At least I didn't pay much for it, $20 local pick up.
I did a little research and found out whatever I did get is not a 350z HR y-pipe or part of a 08 350z exhaust for that matter.
Here is a pic taken from the craigslist ad of what I assumed was a 08 350z stock exhaust due to the title of the ad:
Here is what the 07-08 350z exhaust looks like:

do any of you guys that put on the 08 350z HR Ypipe notice that it hangs down more than the stock exhaust or is it about the same? im really interested in this Ypipe cause i believe this could help quite a bit, but im worried about how low it hangs cuase im installing lowering coils in the next month or two...
