It's a bit pricey, but the FI system is worth every single penny I paid. (which is $100 more than their last sale)

I have not heard the Tanbe on the our sedans but I have it on my 350Z and loved it. It did keep the VQ rumble the sound of it taking of fwas pure sex.. If they made a full cat back instead of just mufflers I would buy it in a heart beat.

The real problem is that no video does any of these systems justice.
They need to be heard in person.

I'd suggest attending a few meets, but those have come to a stop for the next few months, at least in my area.
I'm not really sure where "PR" is though.

I didn't dedicate enough brain cells to conclude that.
Good job!

It's not on a sedan, but several G37 coupe guys (including me) have had them. I personally loved the sound but it was just a little bit loud for me but not for most. I just sold mine. There are a few reviews and soundclips over on myg37.

My overall impression is that it has an excellent low, throaty tone to it that's like stock but a bit louder and more "exotic" sounding. Under load this thing will make you jizz in your pants. I loved everythng about it except, a slight cabin drone at highway speeds, not much, but some. And it was just a little too loud for me but I wanted something almost as quiet as stock. I ended up with the Invidia and love it.

See I have been on MyG37 but and those cost like $700 for a cat back, they have a set for the sedan too, i was just wondering if it would sound the same, the canister seems to look different oval as opposed to the circle shape on the coupe. Plus the price for the sedan is around $500 so are they actually the same exhaust? Like same sound?

i don't think you can compare the sedan axle-back with the coupe axle-back...2 totally different designs in the mufflers...not to mention the g37 coupe has a very nice tone stock whereas the sedan's tone is almost unnoticeable when in stock form...

Yeah but i was thinking if it would sound the same because they have the same name for the exhaust, and Tanabe say that all their Medalion exhausts sound the same? I dont' know if anyone knows would be sweet.

I dont think it would sound the same the mufflers are different. But I'm sure it sounds good. I just wish they made a full system.
