Just looking for some opinions on if I should drop $600-700 on an Tanabe Axleback or save up the money and get either FI Catback System or Ark Grip in the future. I just got FI HFC installed couple of weeks ago.

 

post a video of your current set up ..

 

Did just the HFC make any difference?

 

Sound level went up and sounds pretty good even with stock catback. Speed wise wont know much until tune.

 

What should I be doing in this video?

 

tanabe axleback = what a waste of money

my setup = berk hfc, megan y pipe, beluga mufflers

 

Out of curiosity, what makes the Tanabe Axleback worthless?

 

Yeah I would like to know too. Never good to give an opinion and saying something is worthless and giving your own set up when there's no explanation.

 

its an axleback !!!

$200 vs $800

what are you paying $600 more for ?

get it

 

Wait and save for a good quality cat-back. I waited and got Motordyne Art Pipes and Motordyne Shockwave, best decision I've made with my G

 

It can't be more than just price. Cause everytime I see a post about the beluga its a forum member already selling it and going with a full cbe or the Tanabe or another axleback. People dont just pay the extra $400-600 just cause.

 

sell an axleback to buy an axleback

 

Have you ever seen or even handled a Tanabe axle back in person? If you did, you wouldn't call it a waste of money.


I personally think it's worth every penny. The sound, fit and finish are perfect and of very, very high quality. That's why people are willing to spend the extra $$$ for it. I know I did. I got both the Tanabe axle back and mid pipe, by the way. I wish Tanabe also made the Y pipe for the AWD G37. That's the only thing I'm missing and I don't want to add just any no name, POS Y pipe to my car. And FYI, my Tanabe mid pipe and axle back are made in Japan.


Where are your Megan Y pipe and beluga mufflers made again?

 

See this is the extra details, experiences and opinions I needed. Not the oh this is a waste get this without any explanation besides oh they are both axlebacks and one is cheaper so get that one. That's like getting a no name catback system rather than an FI just cause its cheaper and they're both catback systems anyways.

 

a catback is not an axleback

apples and oranges my friend

catback brand and quality would matter
