Just upgraded my 2k3 Maxima and got a 2010 G37 Anniversary Edition. Looking into exhaust options and they seem to be all over the place (price and research).

What size is the piping on the Tanabe?
Anyone have an idea of the largest size resonators that can fit, diameter and length?

I live in florida as well in the Tampa Area. I have the stillen cat back which I picked up from Stillen, I have had it on for about 2 weeks now with berk unres test pipes with the stillen gen 3 intake. Driving around it isnt to loud in the car cruising at 60 to 80 with the radio on low you dont even hear it until you put your foot into it again. I am very happy with my results had it tuned on tuesday and finished up with 314.94 whp on an automatic tranny at proven power in tampa tuned by martin my dyno sheet is in the thread that I have title my sunday install.

 

Great numbers!! I wouldn't mind making a trip from Orlando to hear and feel the setup

 

I just posted this in the chat thread:

Here are pics and vids from when I installed it back in 2011 and when my car was OB.

 

I remember that SN from the Org. Pearl White 5.5 Gen, right? Hang on...

Yeah. This guy. RPF1's, Stillen front lip and AE rear? Looks like it to me... IDK for sure. But I did remember that SN right. Same one.

 

Oh darn, you found me!! It was only a matter of time...

 

i just ordered the stillen myself and will have it installed within a couple days and ill give a full review of what i think for you

 

I went with FI RHFCs and am waiting for my FI CBE to be finished and delivered.

 

Hey tonyHTX, is that catback only in the videos?

 

When's your est ship date? Mine is getting made next week. Can't wait to hear how their new x-pipe sounds. I actually just called Tony @ FI and had him change my resonators from 18" to 12". I think I will like the slightly louder exhaust note with my FI RHFCs

Did you opt for resonators?

I see OEM cats in the first picture - I'd say it's only a CBE.

 

My cats took six weeks from order to delivery. FYI

 

Yep, sure did! Went with the upgraded X pipe and 12 inch resonators also. Told you it sounds like we're building the same car.

I'm looking forward to the install as well, should be a completely different tone and with Spring here the windows will be down a lot. At least until the heat rolls in. If I recall correctly my est ship date is the 21st or the 28th, actually about a month early. Only problem I'm going to have now is arranging the install around my schedule.

 

We sure are lol. Mine is right on track to being on time.

I'm on the same page as you though - it'll be a rough time trying to get this thing installed. Mostly because I want to install the exhaust, coupe sport rear sway bar, Akebonos, and hopefully coilovers whenever I decide to buy those things.

 

I decided to hold off on the coilovers until the summer. And even then I may hold off longer, I want them but I want to go to New Zealand this year so if I have to choose it will be NZ and a tat over coilovers. My local shop on,y charges me $50 an hour so it isn't too bad will just be a little tough to manage picking up and dropping off a rental.

 

fast intentions
