Car sounds nice, exhaust looks killer. BTW, thank you for editing your videos, so many more passes in the same amount of time. I wish others would take the time and follow your example, maybe they don't know how or they are too lazy...

Tanabe - clean look.
Greddy - raw, Ti-tips, racy look. (Daamn loud without silencers too, too loud for my taste)

I would pay little more and just get a fully exhaust system IMO.

Yea I was like you but considering the catbacks out right now, none really appealed to me and future models are gonna be twice the cost of these guys.

From everything that I have seen the only other power adder in the exhaust department is the Y pipe. It looks as if the mid pipe is pretty efficient. And the gains from the Y pipe seem minimal if you already have an aftermarket exhaust.

That seems about right. The dyno of the Y pipe with a aftermarket mid pipe back exhaust showed a 5hp gain in addition to what he got from the exhaust. So if the Borla is getting 15hp that would be inline with the 8hp from the Tanabe and 5 from the Y pipe. 2hp from the mid

Key facts are it is under 93db which is 100% street legal, the tips & sound are flawless.
Just for the exhaust not including Y-Pipe!?!?! Im surprised the Tanabe exhaust would acheieve 8hp/7tq

Either way I can not wait for this system to come in. I have a 2 week wait

I just ordered a Tanabe axle back too. I'm on the fence when it comes to the y-pipe because I already have a JWT coming in too and I really don't want my car sounding riced out. I'm not sure how much of a difference it really makes anyway.

I'm not a big fan of the exhausts that:

Have that fart can, "Honda Civic" sound.
Are overly loud and annoy neighbors.

I've been after some reasonable power increases without all of the noise and I don't want to throw CELs either. I really like the fairly refined sound.

Thanks for the videos; they really helped me figure out what I wanted to look at. The Tanabe is exactly what I was looking for, but I'm on the fence over the y-pipe and I think a high flow cat might be out of the question for me given my noise preference.
