Do you have a pic of the vibrant resonators?
I have the Tanabe axleback and have been trying to figure out where to put the vibrant resonators if you could post a pic, that would be very helpful.

I like it!

I mean, I don't disagree with you that it would sound a little bit nicer if it were just a little bit deeper tone, but there's nothing wrong with what you have here at all.

Verywell done, iCrap.

You have to take out the stock ones and put these in:

Exhaust design is very tough, and opinions on exhaust vary a lot. I would try and find some local G37/370Z folks and hear their setups... that's the only way you can know for sure.

That pinch and split into two pipes look horrible...for flow that is. I bet its not that big of a deal, but it just looks like it wants to slow down flow and suck HP.

Is there any specific part number to the vibrant resonators. I live in Dubai and would be paying about 80 dollars in shipping so want to be 100% sure that I am ordering the right part. I did find a few options but not sure what diameter I should be ordering, would 3-inch work or I should stick to 2.5

What kind of dash cam is that? I ask because I have one too however it appears that the lens of your dash cam seems to be mounted pretty far away from the actual windshield glass. The result is a lot of reflection of your interior and A-pillar visible in the windshield. I can only imagine how the glare and reflections look during a bright sunny day with no clouds.

Its called the rexing or something. It's actually right up against the glass, so I dunno why there is a reflection. But its stiill pretty usable even on a sunny day.

Imo, the Top Speed isn't too loud either. Maybe on cold starts though. You can baby the throttle to keep it quiet for sure. I actually was severely missing my ART pipes when I had them out to pass smog, the Top Speed and an aftermarket y pipe were too quiet for me by themselves.

The muffler delete for G37's compliment the genuine vq sound because its deep, but yes a big factor I'm switching to a catback is due to the drone.
