When will Injen get off their a$$ and make an exhaust for the G37?
I have searched and search for a perfect exhaust on the market. I am extremely picky and don't like the exhausts that are out there. Basically, I really want the Injen SES Exhaust as it is the closest to perfect. It is actual true duals, and I would prefer to have an x or H pipe.
I have already contacted them and told them they could take my car (since all it does is sit in my garage) to make an exhaust, hoping that it would speed up the process. However, they told me they already have a G37 and are working on it. For those that waited a year for the Injen CAI, you know what I am feeling. They kept saying it would out by the end of the months, until eventually 6 months had gone by. WTF?!
My stipulations for a cat-back exhaust are as follows:
2.5 in pipe
prefer x or H pipe
must have resonators
can't sound like rice (high-pitch)
can't sound raspy
dual canister mufflers
4" polished tips (NOT burnt or TT)
smooth mandrel bends and as few as possible
< $2k
THE G37 HAS BEEN OUT FOR 2 YEARS NOW!!!! WHY THE DELAY?

What makes Injen SES close to perfect? Lots of closer to perfect setups out there

Becasue 1) G37 owners as a whole don't spend tons of money modding our cars like a lot of other enthusiasts do who own other models, 2) because we are a prettry small almost niche market due to the relatively low number of units on the road, 3) there are a lot of other projects they are probably working on that will make them a lot more money 4) so many people (not saying you) yell and scream about wanting a product on the market NOW and then don't like it or complain it's too expensive when it does comes out. Just my guesses.

Holy crap....that is really far out. I heard it was going to be 2 months. But of course you have to add on 6 months of delays. Yep, that is about March! This sux. I really don't want to wait that long to get an exhaust. I need to find someone local that can make me a custom one I guess. How does Injen expect to sell parts when they won't put it on the market until after the car has been out for a while and everyone has already bought other exhausts.

You know you can have a local shop fabricate a completely custom setup on your car that allows you to pick out and determine exactly what you want and how you want it to look and sound. It will be far less than what Injen will charge you and it will be exactly to your specifications so you won't have any complaints about it not being what you want. And you won't have to wait.

Injen has never really rushed into producing parts for cars like others have. I spoke to them a while ago and they said they are still holding back on releasing their exhaust. They're not sure G owners will fork out the $ for a catback so they will most likely be putting a y-pipe back into production. However I think that if you guys show enough interest in a true-dual catback, they might end up making it afterall. Production costs for a catback are obviously more than they would be for a y-pipe and they don't want to take any chances with the way the market is currently.
I have a custom catback they fabbed up for me. This vid was taken the same day I got it, and since then the sound has changed to a smoother, deeper, throatier tone. No rasp at all. No ricey "fart can" sound at all. I freakin love it! I get nothing but compliments on it from everyone. This vid doesn't do it justice since it was taken with a crappy point and shoot. Imma see if I can get a hold of my buddy's HD camera and take a few vids.

A few pics:
Maybe if you guys start a list or something with people who are interested that I could present to them? If it's a pretty good amount of interest I'm sure they'd put a catback into production.

That is the best sounding one in my book.
Game, both are catbacks on our cars whether they have a y-pipe or not. The cats are before the stock Y so any exhaust that starts directly after the cats is considered a catback.
According to other exhaust makers, the G37 actually loses power with any dual exhaust vs. a single exhaust. Also, if you don't have some type of merge between the duals than you are losing your necessary back-pressure, and therefore a lot of your torque.
Game, do you have a number for someone at Injen that I could talk to about possibly making me a custom exhaust to my specs. I like the sound of yours but I don't like the tips. I am sure I could find someone to help me out by letting them borrow their car or I can send mine there.
I can't wait until March for an exhaust. I have already been waiting 2 years and HIN is right around the corner.
