cato, both of the sedans far exceeded my expectations. you rode as hard as the coupes and showed that anything wearing a G35 badge owns the road. it's not as loud inside, but everyone and I know when I'm on it hard. hope one of the videos shot during the stampede have an audio of it. spill, just keep in mind that I also have test pipes so just an exhaust won't be quite as audible. was great meeting everyone, best driving experience I've ever had, hands down

)Lev: yeah, I'm keeping the test pipe "factor" in mind. Overall it seems that the Injen has a deeper tone, and the HKS has the burble to it (kind of miss that from my '97GT). Course, there's also a ~$400 difference or so between the two systems to consider... and the fact that the HKS Hi-Power seems relatively hard to find for the Coupe. My last concern is to make sure that both systems are able to bolt up to headers without any issues.
Out of curiousity, do you have any problems with smelling unburnt gas with the Helix pipes? I'm sure I'd have a few more issues finding a "less than thorough" place to get an inspection done here in Austin with the CLE4N A1R F0R L1FE hippy population, but it wouldn't be impossible... of course S.A. is 45 minutes away...

occasionaly I can smell the exhaust. most noticably if i let it set and idle for a while with no wind. I didn't have any issues with hte Helix pipes bolting up to the factory exhaust manifolds. I considered headers but with my dreams of twin turbos, it'd be a waste of money. for the state inspection, I don't know anyone in ATX that help you out. I have a state inspection license so mine passes with no problem. and since SA doesn't do emmisions testing, mine passes very well.

LivyathanZero: I saw what you wrote! May I add that Spill and probably a few more people washed their cars on Friday, too? However, I must confess I didn't touch my car on Saturday, so that may have had an affect. Next time, I'll wash my car on Thursday so you can sleep better.
For the record, we had a total of 21 cars signed up for Saturday and a Stampede of 12 cars actually ride the Raging Bull on Sunday. Gs were very well represented. I can't wait to have my own G35 Coupe!
