I had HKS on my 07z and it pretty much sounds the same on the G! To me it's way too High Pitched and more of a tin can sound I did not like it at all ! I actually ended up trading straight up for Nismo Catback . With Tanabe I have had people tell me it sounds like a maseratti lol it has that thick bass and throaty sound that I love. Tanabe sounds like an ampd up VQ period , retains our stock Exhaust note w a deeper smoother tone, I even think the stock system was not as smooth as this set-up.

Keep in mind this is I phone quality I will break it in and get a good camera after a couple days driving w it. I literally just installed 1 hour b4 videos and the tone will chang because it changed w Mufflers alone after break in as well w mid pipe. I will update this thread this week.

 

Sounds very nice ....

 

Finally installed my tanabe muffler and Y pipe on sedan, holy crap
It's so quiet in comparison to the ARK Grip. I like it better than my ARK for sure, hopefully they will release a midpipe soon for sedans, I want it just a TINY bit louder. I agree with you though. These are best looking tips hands down.

 

if anybody wants this set up it is available here...I guess Y pip and mid are both in stock ready to ship
Amazon.com: tanabe exhaust g37

 

New video updated on first page after brake in ! Enjoy

 

Your new video said "Private"

 

This thread has completely convinced me to buy the Tanabe exhaust. That sound is too much to resist

 

I've been drooling over tanabe since I heard it on a 4 cylinder mitsubishi lancer. It made that little motor sound nice. It sounds SOOOO much nicer on the VQ!!! Gotta start saving nao!!!

Nice work on the car!

 

kind of off topic I guess, but how would you guys compare tanabe to the ark system?

 

Would the Tanabe Y pipe or Mid-Pipe fit the G37X??

 

damn this just helped my decision on exhaust set ups.

 

I love the fact that your car is an automatic. You have one of the cleanest G's I've seen so far and it just shows it's really just a personal preference. Oh, and nice exhaust, I'm considering getting one myself!

 

Thanks man^^^ I love my 5Spd Auto its awesome w the paddles. Now time for Fast Intentions Catback that will arrive in a few days! I will post up with my own Review ) it was time to take it To the next level!".

 

So now you're going back from the Tanabe you have to Fast Intentions again?

 

Yes that is correct! Only this time my Fast Intentions CBE will have the 12 inch resonators on X-Pipe Vs. my previous 18s and also the system have the optional full polish system! i know its not neccesary but hey it will look so shiney underneath. I will be pairing the system with Fast Intentions Resonated HFC as well. I love Tanabe lways will, but after talking w Tony@FastIntentions I just could not resist the switchback.
