Hey Tanabe, I have a suggestion. I would sell my HKS in a second if you sold a FULL exhaust kit instead of a cat-back. One of the main issues with the 2IS and it's horsepower gains is the cat system. A full exhaust system for this car would be an answer to my prayers, knowing that exhaust flow is a setback of horsepower for the 2IS. Just my opinion.

Dude, the Tanabe isnt even a catback, it is an axleback. I believe the HKS is an actual cat-back exhaust system. Nonetheless, Im sure most people on here would like a full exhaust solution. BTW, where in NJ you from? Im in Toms River.

think the tanabe prices went up late last year so you probably won't find it for $549 new anywhere. But you can probably still find it for a good price used.
It does seem to be quieter the longer you have it. But it's probably cause your used to it now...

I love it, however. you guys should make a Full exhaust. the megan midpipe I added to the exhaust makes it sound soo much better, and gives some hp/tq in lower end. It is also lighter than the stock midpipe.
I had tanabe axle back on my Mazda 6. I loved it also, but same thing. I had to get a custom midpipe to make it sound like i wanted it. Everybod loved the way it looked and sounded. it was mean.

you can also look up on my profile a vieo of the IS350 with Tanabe only and a video with the tanabe+midpipe
TANABE FTW!!!!!

I've got the tanabe and I absolute loathe it. It drones on the highway, it has a horrible sound around 2.5k rpms to 3k when accelerating with medium throttle and the fitment was nothing close to the Fujitsubo I had. It's just horrible. The only good thing about it, is the aesthetics. It's for sale, anyone?
, especially goes with F sport intake too lolz, save couple MPG also
