now, i was waiting for this one to come out but its bit pricy.... $740. for axel back??? stillen catback is $1200...

DISCUSS!

 

i was also looking forward to it - but it looks a little ridiculous, the exhaust tips almost look TOO big

I'm probably going to go with the Stillen

 

Yea those tips just look too big for the g35. It doesn't compliment the shape, size or the curve of the vehicle that well.

 

yea... tip looks kinda big... got the pics together to compare, enjoy!!

Tanabe


Impul


F.I


Stillen

 

it doesn't sit flush with the curve of the bumper.. if i was to get an exhaust with such a big tip.. i'de go with the hks..

 

IMO....IMPUL suits the lines of the rear of the car.

 

haha, you think thats big, did you see the HKS Hi-Power axle back mufflers?

 

I like the Tanabe, reminds me of the Impala SS

 

impul > FI > Tanabe > Stillen IMO

 

I am not too sure what's up with the kit from Tanabe USA but it is NOT the same as what is available directly from Tanabe in Japan...

In Japan the axle-back kit comes with 110mm oval tips and the system is called the ERtune Medallion... The standard Medallion is not even listed for the Skyline - G35... Intake Piping size is 50 - 60mm...

Street price for the Medallion ERtune kit is 55,000 yen or about $ 520 usd...

uuggghhhhhhh....STILLEN FTW

 

Oval tips look the best as they compliment the lines of the car. Still, all of these options are overpriced.

 

the tanabe looks terrible, it isnt even lined up with the cutouts in the bumper, it just looks like someone did a poor job installing it

 

first thing i noticed. if you're showing off the exhaust, why not have it perfect on your one-off?

i'm not impressed at all with tanabe's build quality. same goes for hks. my blitz and fujitsubo exhausts (other cars) were worlds beyond them, with the fuji being the best made i've seen so far

 

Interesting info higuma...I definitely like the tips of the pics you showed more than what was found by the OP.

I agree with most that Impul tips and cans fit the lines of the car better than the rest.
