Anyone know what the gains from the Tanabe Medallion are. I may have missed it in all the treads, but all I can see is how great it sounds/looks/is built. Currently I am running Berk HFC's, so I already have those gains, would like to get the Tanabe, but not for "sound" only. Thanks.

 

im sure it produces some gains but obviously not nearly the same as a full cat back would produce.

 

Thanks. Any idea if anyones running this with a Y-pipe/mid pipe to have a full cat back?

 

Yeah, I don't think it produces much gains at all. but it sure takes off a good amount of weight, since the stock muffler is like an anchor back there.

 

A few people have are running them with a y-pipe, but I don't anyone yet who's actually replaced the stock mid-pipe.

 

It was good speaking w you on the phone. I think you will like the Tanabe exhaust and JWT to compliment your HFC's. As we discussed, the theory behind Tanabe exhaust......I think the new Ichiba Y-Pipe will work flawless and compliment even more.

 

Haha that is very true, its like titanic back there.

 

My two favorite nissan shops didn't have a dyno or I would have. There's also the Exhaust Depo Y-pipe which is what I have, much cheaper then the alternatives an it's hand built with solid welds for $250. http://www.exhaustdepot.net/g37ypipe.html. My butt meters not working so I can't vouge for +10 horses..lol. The car does seem to be a bit louder with them as well, no tone change but a bit louder. I can hear it now highway cruising at 3KRPM, a bit louder and it would be too loud.

 

Thanks Red. Hey, did you weigh the ED y-pipe vs. the OEM?

 

The ED Y-pipe weights 16 pounds, I would venture to say it weighs slight more but were talking a pound or two more or less..negligable.
