Any proven performance gains? The stock 1.75" Y pipe is the hold up and these don't change that.

Is Tanabe gonna come out with a Y-Pipe for the G37?

Their current y-pipe fits perfect. If they come out with one, it will probably be the same exact model.

Tanabe says theres a small modification to the g35 ypipe for it to work... but from what I hear... a Y specifically for the G37 is on the horizen...

Have you heard it person though? I still can't over the looks of the exhaust either even though I've had for a few months already. But the sound alone makes up for it.

I know it was designed that way, and even if the sound was increadible, I couldn't see that on my lux sport coupe, I'm sure I'm not alone here. He'll I would have been hammering brackets if my medalions didn't perfectly line up with the bumper slots..lol.

I wonder if there would be any difference between Tanabe's or Exhaust Depot's Y-pipe, providing size and weld quality is the same..it's just piping.

Yea, there's probably some name brand mark up going here, but take a look at a quality cat back system with dual mufflers...these are half of that cost as they should be $795. And my car doesn't fart..thank you, althought they will stink like hell when you first brake them in. Add a $250 Y-Pipe and your done as far as Cat back.

Are u kidding me, $795 is half the cost of a quality cat back system, LOL!! I got my magnaflow catback system for $496 shipped to my door, and it is a "quality cat back system", wow now I really know I got one hell of a deal!

Yeah, the Magnaflow is good in quality for sound and price. But the finish of the magnaflow compared to the tanabe is day and night. You can get the tanabe's as clean as the day they came out of the box even after a few months with out much effort.

Just to compare, I have JIC-Magic y-pipe w/ a Greddy exhaust. When my car was up on the lift the other day we looked at my exhaust and the Greddy looked pretty used, but the JIC y-pipe looked like it was just put on 2 weeks ago.

Half the cost of a quality DUAL MUFFLER cat back system... That Mag's a great value, don't get me wrong, but the Tanabe's look better. And who knows,hopefully someday we'll see a independant dyno of a Medalion Y-pipe system to compare performance.
