Let me tell you it sounds so much better in person. My friend just got it installed by Tanabe. Maybe later I can ask him to take videos. I actually like it a lot.

LOOKS NICE...but does it sound nice?

the videos quality isnt the best, and it seems the sound is not that "solid"

Very nice, but sounds like it hasn't been broken in yet. I'd still prefer the Borla though.

Any sounds from the Stillen camp?

Did you friend get a full cat-back or was it just the medallion mufflers? And how much did he pay for it?

From my understanding its a axle back. I am not sure when it's coming out. He got it for free from the R&D @ Tanabe USA. Also according to them it produced 5HP and 6Torque.

Can't argue with Nismo quality. That's why it's Nissan-certified.

It's Nissan certified because Nismo is the racing subsidiary of Nissan

I knew that. I meant to say, it's Nissan certified and that's why I can't argue with Nismo's quality. My sentences came out backwards.

Seems to have broken in well. Sounds like it has a much lower tone than the first video.

This sounds like the nice mild exhaust i'm looking for, throatier then stock, but doesn't let the neighbors know when you come home.

You know what, its actually the camera that is causing it to be low. Can't wait to get my intake and hear the difference.

I really like this combo. How much cabin noise is there when just cruising around? Any droning?

Also since this is just an axle back exhaust, do you think it can be installed with the car on the ground and not using a lift? It would be a big plus for me since then I could do it myself.
