Got my tanabe for $590 from Sparktec Motorsports. Thats one of the best deals I could find. Im happy with them. Got here in 3 days so that was fast and the packaging was a little torn up fedex but the exhaust itself was perfect so oh well. Anyone looking to buy one I recommend to go through these guys. Email them and ask for Danny if you have any questions. He'll help you with any and everything.

Looking good, any chance of throwing up a video? Not many people have these on the 3.5 coupes.

Sure thing. Im just waiting on my intake to get here and Ill make a couple vids. Bought the k&n off a guy on ebay but 11 days after the purchase he finally messages me back to tell me they are out of stock. Needless to say I got a refund and found a couple other places to get it for the same price. So I got it through Advance Speed for $252 shipped. Not too bad I didnt think. Itll be here tuesday 14th.

Tracking number says it wont be here until wednesday so Ill make a video once it gets here. Im getting my +30 offset rotas put on tues so Ill have a little bit of work goin on after i get home those days. Should be interesting. If only the damn guy on ebay hadnt let me wait 9 days before telling me the k&n was out of stock I would already have it. How do you like your Tanabe? I like the exhaust, just wish it was a little more throaty or aggressive. But Im sure the racingline y-pipe will clean that up and thatll be getting put on here in about a week or so...stay tuned

I love my Tanabe! It's not too loud and drone is minimal if not non-existent, but the exhaust definitely makes itself known when you jump on it, especially with my intake. If i had wanted anything more aggressive, I probably would have gotten the Borla, but I like how this one is still practical to drive around with and doesn't ruin your ride with drone. I'm looking forward to the video of your car with the Y-Pipe, i was thinking about getting that and then having an exhaust shop custom bend me some piping to turn my axelback into a catback

I had already talked to the exhaust shop I have used a few other times about the exact same thing. Just replacing the piping from the y-pipe back to get rid of that bend in the pipe etc. We will see what happens. It will be a few weeks before I get everything done.
