Exhaust helppppp!!!!

Hey guys

About 2 months ago I bought a Tanabe Medalion Touring exhaust for my 2009 G37 sedan I thought it would sound a lil louder but not much of a difference compared to my stock exhaust you guys think its a leak or just my exhaust.....

Any suggestions should I add a HFC or get another exhaust and if so any suggestions on brands of exhaust or exhaust systems????

Isn't that just an axle-back?

I have a Tanabe Medalion, Megan racing y pipe, and berk hfc. I love the tone and its about the right loudness for me. the Tanabe help muffle the rasp you get from berk's hfc and the y-pipe. Also no drone in highway.


This car has almost the same setup and sound the same.

Now thats the sound Im looking for how much did the Berks HFC and Megan racing Y pipe run for and would I need a tune after I install it?

Tanabe is not intended to be loud. It is slightly louder than stock.

I got them both used from the classified thread the berk was around $350 shipped and y-pipe was $150 shipped.
My CEL did come on (O2) with just the Berk HFC, from what i heard most people don't get CEL from berk but you could add bungs to the O2 to get rid of it. Since I have stillen gen 3 intake and my exhausts I am looking for a tune very soon. I won't "need" a tune with what I have but the UPRev dyno tune is ~$650 which is really good price for a dyno tune and it will make the most out of these aftermarket mods.

it's not accurate to compare sedan with coupe. they will sound different.
