Just did this change last weekend. I unbolted the forward hanger and slipped the stock muffler forward out if the rear hanger. No issue. No ramps used either.

 

Exactly. Very easy. 30min without ramps.

 

Crap...bad news. Just got a call from the vendor saying that the Tanabe is on backorder till mid-December and they will refund my money. I called Tanabe and they confirmed the backorder.

 

Try amazon

 

^^ what he said. i even provided you the link on the previous page.

 

Thanks...just placed the order on Amazon...fingers crossed.

 

Also try Lou @ Amplified Motorsports. They are a vendor sponsor on here and he typically keeps a couple of these in stock. Worth a shot.

For g37 sedan--which mid and y pipe are you pairing up with tanabe axle back?

 

Most just go w/ the OEM piping, if you're going to the expense of a new mid & Y then a full catback would be a better plan, you'd have a true dual exhaust w/ factory matched tubing/resonators, etc.

 

..but if you had to pick a mid pipe...

 

I'm currently using a Tanabe Y-Pipe/crossover pipe along with the stock resonators and a Tanabe axle back on my G sedan and am very happy with the set up. I also have the stock CATs installed... This is by far my favorite exhaust set-up on this car so far.


I've also had a full FI setup and also at one time I had BERK HFC's along with an Invidia Gemini crossover pipe & resonator section/mid-pipe. This was mated to my Tanabe axle back with some custom piping, but slight drone at 2500 - 3000 RPM's started to get to me, so I went back to the stock CAT's and stock resonators along with the Tanabe Y-Pipe and no more drone!

 

Any chance for a quick video of your tanabe mufflers along with the tanabe Y pipe? I would really like to hear your setup from the interior. There are plenty of interior videos of just the tanabe mufflers, but I didn't see any with the Y pipe and mufflers with stock CATs on the sedan. I would appreciate it...

 

Yeah, definitely. I believe I already posted up some clips over on G35Driver a few years back, but if I get a chance I'll see if I can take some new videos sometime this weekend. However, keep in mind that my car has a GTM Supercharger, so that may vary the sound slightly... in particular, you may hear some of the SC whine in the videos.
