Is the intake making the car gas efficient? I have fsport intake too but haven't noticed mileage. I was told intake won't do jack squad except to make sound. I think I will get Tanabe very soon too.

hmmm, why don't we call this topic *The I installed my Exhaust* or any other name...

When someone get a new Cat Back, Axel Back, Mid Pipe and would like to share photos and talk about the products they installed.

It's better than everyone posting a new topic and say I just installed... In my opinion that would make the forums more organized and searching for things would be easier.

If no one agrees with me it's just up to you guys I'm sharing my opinion to make the place organized since I love it In addition since we are part of this forum I think we should share about to to make it more improved...

I'm sorry for going off topic...

Ya, the box isn't small I couldn't get it into my car, so I just left it inside the shop and put half in the trunk and the other in the back passenger seat.

I can't wait till Monday to install it. I'm hugging it everyday LOVE TO Tanabe <3

Nobody here complains about the droning? I've owned numerous sport exhaust from diff. companies and this was by far the one that drones the most on highway and during hill climb. it's ridiculous, any takers?

I know what you are talking about, the low RPM drone. It didnt bother me at all since I came from a very loud car before my IS. Get a midpipe and it will get rid of the drone.

Yeah droning is really annoying but only at around 3500 rpm. If you're doing 80 in hw the rpm shouldn't be that high. I was hoping Tanabe will release a new exhaust with less drone.

Gawd, I'm glad I'm not the only one complaining about this..to the people who have gone from tanabe to either GreddySE, GreddySp2, F-Sport or the Lexus HKS, do those exhausts do it as well? I need to change this exhaust cause it makes me feel like I bought one of those cheapy ebay exhausts and I'm pretty damn disappointed..

yea its bolt on. you have 2 choices, customize your stock midpiepe by taking off the seconday CATS and putting on a relatively quiet resonator.
or get the megan midpipe.
