No, I don't think so because there's a gap between the exhaust tip and the kit (at least the OEM one). This gap does not allow the warm exhaust tips to touch the rear valance or even create the well-known "black burns" caused by other exhausts in other cars.

If I'm not mistaken, the HP gains should be 7HP to the wheels.
Thanks jman-is350! Just trying to contribute my 2 cents to the forum.

Just installed the Tanabe exhaust this weekend. Less than 30 minute, do it yourself installed. 2 wrenches and a screwdriver. Very high quality, perfect fit product that attaches directly to factory hangers and perfectly centered. Plenty of clearance all of the way around and sticks out beyound the beyond the lower part of the bumper by about 1.5 inches. A perfect fit. I really like the double walled polished inside and out. You cannot see the pipe inside the outlet like you do some other systems and you won't have carbon or oil build up inside the outlet as long as you clean it when you clean the car.
Performance wise I felt a little extra torque ( seat of the pants) at low end and definately up in the powerband, but I also changed out the intake filter with a K&N drop in filter at the same time so I opened up the intake and exhaust somewhat.
Deep quality sound in the cabin and a very nice performance sound outside. This is the perfect sound for a performance luxury car. I recently had a G35 couupe with Stillen exhaust and this is a quieter deeper tone. A tone you wont get tired of.
I am very pleased/ 4 day deliver, no delivery fee and about $650 for the exhaust and K&N total. I thing a great Mod and I highly recommend it.
