Can I add only muffler/tail pipe to stock? - What will mount?

My description of the Tanabe sound is "stock exhaust on steroids". It has a similar tone to it but louder and with aiw deep growl to it. It sounds more exotic to me. If you like the stock sound but want more of it, I think you'll love this one. Give us you thoughts when you get it on. Installation is easy, it should take you under a half hour doing it in the driveway by yourself - only 4 bolts.

IMHO, you cant beat Tanabe for looks and quality. I wouldn't trade mine. It is actually pretty loud and agressive when you add HFCs. More than any other exhaust mod I have done, the HFCs changed the sound most.

Just curious, how much did you get the Tanabe for?

That's what I've been reading and I feel a lot better knowing I should be able to put it on as soon as it arrives. I've had my G for around 8 months and 8k miles so I hope the stock muffler isn't rusted to the old one (it's been through the winter).

Hm I could've possibly sold you mine for cheaper. Oh well, enjoy!

Not exactly. I like Tanabe, but if there's a demand for it, then maybe. I'm not gonna actively seek out buyers.
BUT, I AM selling my heat wrapped JWTs though, interested?

A couple of tips. Use jack stands or ramps on the back of the vehicle if you have them. More room to work and easier to get the mufflers t off/on. Also, spray the 4 nuts that you will be taking off with PB Blaster and let them sit a while. Do this before you jack up the car, gather tools, open and inspect your mufflers and they will have had time to soak and come off really easy. Piece of cake.
