I tried taking video of my exhaust. It must be a $#!tty camera because all you can hear is white noise and the sound of birds and tires on the road. I'll give it another go with my friends DSR another day.

edit: You can hear the exhaust, but it's such a low decibel that the camera just pops and sort of doesn't catch it. Difficult to explain I suppose.

I'm looking into buying some kinetix hfcs for my 2013 g37 sedan, i found some on ebay but it doesn't have the g37 sedan on the list of compatible models, would it be compatible though? Here's the link https://www.ebay.com/itm/360531468610

So I think it's time to get a new y-pipe, mine has gotten pretty banged up from being lowered. Any suggestions on anything aftermarket, or should I stick with OEM? Are the coupe ones any different from the sedan, and if so, would it be worth swapping over for a little extra oomph?

So far my exhaust is completely stock except for Vibrant resonators on the midpipe and the Tanabe axleback.

There would be no performance gain for swapping it, so i'd just stick with OEM. Personally, i'd even leave the banged up one in... unless it's got a hole in it.

The flex sections are pretty frayed, and I'm not sure but I think I hear some rasp or what could be a leak. Might be coming from that but I can't tell.

The 2007-08 hr had the largest ID OEM y pipe I could find. It is exactly 2". The rest are just under 2" unless you get the 370z sport exhaust or whatever it's called y pipe

As far as extra oomph I swaped the oem for a ebay Y pipe 2.5". There is no difference in sound or performance. But it is shiny And you can't beat $106 price tag.

Now that I've had the ark grip exhaust on for a few months I must say I can't imagine a better exhaust system for this car. Not to say they couldn't exist, but until I try others myself I'll remain highly skeptical there is better out there. I have heard a few axle backs and they were a huge let down.

Though I'll say the stillen gen 3 has probably done as much if not more for the sound and performance for my car. I'm not sure if it's just the intake, or the fact that I have both together, but now the car feels/sounds like an actual sports car (to me).

These only two bolt on mods I have so far have me wanting more. Almost wish I would have bought the high flow cats now too.

I'm considering upgrading to the Stillen Gen 3 (I have the 2) but I'm concerned about rain/water. Do you have the splash guard installed? Is that really enough to stop any water from getting in?

Hmm, I'd consider that. No hints of rasp coming from the mismatched diameters from the y-pipe to the midpipe?

Yeah I do have the splash guard installed. I haven't had it long enough to comment much on long term results, but I've drove it home in the rain a couple times already without issue. Still a bit paranoid about it.

My biggest grips with the Ark was that it hands way too low in the rear. Other than that, I think it sounds awesome.
