I've always preferred greddy over tanabe just because of the noise level. I had both of them on my old car (Honda Civic; lol I know...)

SP was very quiet but I am curious to see how they sound on a Lexus. I was thinking of purchasing an exhuast system for my next car... a gs350.

I have Tanabe right now, and there is a Greddy in my closet waiting to replace it.

I'll post videos with my condenser mic soon, just needa get my car back.

P.S. There is NOTHING wrong with the Tanabe, it sounds great and looks even better. I just wanted to try something different, as everyone has Tanabe.

I just installed the Tanabe on my g/f's IS350 and her previous car was a G35 coupe so I can say, pretty confidently, it does not sound like a G35/G37. It does, however, sound more like the 335i we test drove, a little louder though.

Yeah, it doesn't sound like the barky rasp of the G35. It's more of a simple, deep tone.
