I bought a used Tanabe y-pipe but without any of the hardware.
I've been searching online and calling local store with no luck.
Anyone know where I can find the Tanabe Medalion y-pipe bolts and gaskets for the coupe?
The y-pipe inlet is 60mm & outlet is 70mm.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks guys.

 

You should be able to buy hardware at any good hardware store. Get grade 8 or higher. On the gaskets, they shouldn't be anything specific to Tanabe. Muffler shops or auto parts stores should have them.

 

^ yeah I figured I'd need to do some leg work since most people haven't been that helpful over the phone.
Gonna check out the local midas shop too.

 

The gaskets are pretty standard. Whenever I replace gaskets, I always buy them from a local shop, not from a manufacturer since it's usually cheaper that way and they're the same stuff. GL

 

Anyone know the bolt/thread size I'd need?

 

The Tanabe y-pipe comes with 3 70mm, 2 hole gaskets (yes all are 70mm).

Two bolts with washer and nut, and 4 bolts for the stock studs on the cat.

 

D@mn Candlestick, thanked 118 times!
ur def the man!

BTW, I wasted about 2 hours last night going to several pepboys and autozones in my area.
None of which had any metal gaskets or oem bolts for the G35.
Why the hell wouldn't they have basic oem nissan bolts in stock?
Then this morning I went to 2 diff shops to get quotes for a simple y-pipe install.
1 shop wanted $80, the other $40.
It's incredible how unrealistic some people are, this is literally a 15 min job.
So I ended up going to my personal mechanic which I should have done in the 1st place (he opens later than most shops).
It ended up costing me $20!

 

You were looking for metal gaskets? the ones that it comes with aren't the metal type. How did the install go?

 

I just kept the gaskets that were already on the exhaust.
They're not that old, only about 7 months old.
The y-pipe completely got rid of the rasp, lovin the sound right now.
I don't have the downrev his anymore either.
The larger piping of the Tanabe def made a differnce.

 

^Cool, sounds good. Details of the other parts of your exhaust setup? What y-pipe did you switch over from?

 

I used to have the HR y-pipe.
My setup now:
Berk HFCs (63mm piping I think)
Tanabe Medalion y-pipe (inlet 60mm/outlet 70mm)
Tanabe Medalion axleback exhaust (inlet/outlet 70mm)

I love the dual wall exhaust tips.

 

do you have any sound clips of the new setup yet?

 

I'm going to try and see if one of my Friends has a video camera.
And yes I'm one of the few losers that doesn't have a smart phone/iphone.

 

you're lucky for not having one, $100/month for a phone is ridiculous!
