here is the link to the M2 exhaust that i put on yesterday. this is not a cold start. i jus finished washing the car. so let me hear your comments both positive and negative. i will be posting more videos from this exhaust. i still havent done a driving video yet.

 

Sounds throaty

 

I thought it wud have more of a race tone. I guess not

 

Woooo.. that's mean!! My Black Gs400 needs to sound like that. I think i'd get on the gas more with an exhaust so I am hesistant about the purchase. You happy with it?

 

Sounds good wonder how good it would sound on a GS300

 

i LOVE the sound. So throaty. Damn!

 

I'm way happy with it!! Lol I thought it would sound more racy, but it sounds real throaty and strong. The big plus is that there is no drone when ur cruising

 

sounds mean!!

 

my exhaust fell off so im thinking about this one as well...is it a full cat back?...deleting the resonators and stuff as well?

 

Yep, it's a full cat-back set up. With deleted resonators. The biggest problem I still have is lining up mufflers wit the exhaust openings. I have re-align the mufflers

 

Sounds like my Tanabe for twice the price. My muffler sits a little lower on the driver side than the passenger and it's Tanabe no biggie though.

 

Really should post a vid banging out the rev limiter once or twice so we can see how it really sounds!

I do have to say it defiantly sounds much better on a 400 than it did on the guys 300/GTE that I installed them on.

Although I see you had the same issue I had with them on his car not lining up in the cutouts worth a damn. They are decent for the money, but the fitment is where the lack of cost really comes into play, the QC just isn't there..

If you loosen all the bolts and wiggle the entire system around, then position the tips in the cutout where you want them and slowly snug the bolts from the rear moving towards the front, and go back again tighten them after they were all snug it will allow the most possible adjustment at the rear. Way easier to do on a lift if you have access to one. Although even after all the time I spent aligning they still needed a little bend/cut/weld to line up better.

 

I've installed a few Tanabe's on the GS and other models as well, and they have all been spot on once adjusted. As well as they look very elegant and not like they came straight off a stolen civic (well, at least the medalion touring series anyway), so there is a value to that for many people..

It can be very difficult to properly align a catback on a car especially one with duals when done on the ground, but on a lift and working the entire system into alignment is what it really takes to get perfect. The HKS, Tanabe, Greddy, Blitz, Mines, and Fujitsubo I've done on various other vehicles have always lined up excellent, but defiantly did usually require some muscle and loosening/manipulation (not bending/welding) of the rest of the system leading up to it.

 

That sounds mean!!!!!! I def like it! I got the full borla setup......

 

sounded pretty good to me.
