[psi101101]

oh damn, ill lose myself in downtown bro, i dont know anything about downtown, can we meet like memorial mall or Edwards Marque?? its on I-10...

[zilla19]

That's far for me 'cause I'm back in the south side. How about Dillard's parking lot at the Galleria?

[psi101101]

okay, right now it's 230PM. i'll be there at 5 ?? how does that sound?

[zilla19]

Ok. Anybody else in Houston are welcome to come. Maybe it can be turned into a mini meet. There's been none in Houston yet.

[psi101101]

i'm in DIllard's right now. i'll head out of dillard's at 4:45PM. i know you said the parking lot, but is it inside parking lot or outside?

[headhunt3r]

Do they make the Tanabe for the 2.5? Or is it exclusive to the 3.5

[FGFCacoupe]

If you like the Stillen, but wish it was louder, get it and remove the resonator. That gave me the sound I wanted

Here's a clip from my exhausthttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1DJ8tkMGYg

Tanabe exhausts are engineered thoroughly so that they sound better with NO draw backs. if loud is your thing then forget tanabe. tanabe's exhaust is subtle, but you'll notice it and everyone else will, in the good way, not the obnoxious rice boy car way lol. yeah should sound like the gReddy SE exhaust but a little less loud

So out of the Stillen and the Tanabe. The Stillen is going to be louder.See I cant decide between Stillen and Tanabe.. and the clips on You tube just don't help much.. I'm at a loss.. I just don't know.. A lot of people have the Stillen and love it. But the Tanabe will reduce weight where the Stillen adds a little..

[dldjros69]

how do you know stillen adds weight?

are you saying it adds weight over stock? i doubt that

[ESP]

Doesn't the Tanabe weight less because it's only an axle-back instead of a cat-back like Stillen?

[deasonz]

There is a post under the engine drivetrain and tuninghere is the link to it

So thats how I know the Stillen adds weight over stock. and the Tanabe drops a little..

[dldjros69]

Whoa so that adds 8lbs to the whole car? I wonder why that is?

[deasonz]

My guess is that since its a cat back the pipe from the cat weighs more.. That and the split it into a 2 muffler instead of just the one.. Thats just my guess..

[dldjros69]

It must be the 2 mufflers.

So what is better the added performance or reduction of 8 pounds?

[deasonz]

Well a reduction of 8 lbs adds Performance.. So its one of those types of questions.. Cause you get performance out of Stillen and Tanabe. But the Tanabe weighs less..

[dldjros69]

The tanabe is axle back so there is little or no gains.

I was refering to stillen vs stock and the 8 extra pounds.

[deasonz]

Ah yeah.. I think it would be worth it.. but that my opinion..

[dimitrinassis001]

Stillen is like your typical deep sound without rattle or droning Borla/nismo is like stillen but louder and less bassyArtisan is like a muscle car v8 but it can drone arround 2K~ 3K rpm. so you might need to add a resonator to itGreddy (Ti-C) is the loudest (bass like) one and the ricyest looking one one lol.

if you want to destroy the neiborhood get the greedy ti-Cif you want to destroy your mind get the artisanif you want to amp the bass get the stillen oneif you want the race car loud get the Borla/nismoif you want people to notice you but not ONLY because of your exhaust get the Tanabe if you want to sound louder but not too bassy get the greddy Spectrum Elite

What do you mean my droning? Thanks for the list btw.

If it does indeed add weight, it would be the added resonator(3.5 users) and the quality of material they use.

Tanabe's engineers have said it improves 5hp. Though I have not seen a dyno sheet to prove it. Either way its a high quality product.

No.

A comparison of a stock axle back to a Tanabe axle back. The Tanabe will be lighter by a few pounds.

In-cabin noise.

Here is a weight comparison thread(OEM catback vs Stillen catback, OEM axleback vs Tanabe axleback) done by NissanAltimaGuy: http://forums.altimas.org/zerothread/356932

Also take a note that he has a 3.5

I will be doing one for the GReddy Ti-C soon.

[blackteam02]

of course i gotta tell you to go with the ARTISAN, but imo slap the tanabe onyour 2.5!!

[maxentropy]

Personally I'm leaning towards a Borla. The sound is my favorite so far. But I'm going to wait and hear the Fast Intentions exhaust.

Fast Intentions cat-back exhaust above all. Best design, sound, and appearance by far.

Here is a video clip of the exhaust.

The Fast Intentions exhaust in the video is equipped with a resonator, so if you would prefer it louder, you can get it without the resonator. It's literally perfect
