Ya great writeup warped. Looks like I'm going to go Tanabe now, R2C next month, and then Kinetix HFC and Uprev last (I live down the street in Austin) - at nearly the same time. I will post a video and pics as I go.
I know I'm a little late to the table here, but thanks for all of the help guys!
Now, if I could just get a DieselDoug GT-R start button...I'd be set

If you're open to one bit of advice that isn't specific to parts, it's that you put your decisions on the shelf for a while, and keep researching. When it comes to modifying the car, the best decisions made are the ones that are made more than once.
There's also a lot to be said for doing one mod at a time, and living with it until the mod becomes the new normal. In that way, you appreciate the next mod with more focus.

I know you have plans, and I know what it's like wanting to follow-up on a decision once you make it. We all know what that's like. (This is where the usual crowd here nods their head and says, "Amen, brother!" )

Hey Ballistik,
I installed my Tanabe axleback first. You can hear a subtle difference in sound inside the cabin but it is noticeable from the outside. I know this because despite my apprehension I once let my wife take it by herself to the store and I heard her at take off. Wasn't too loud but noticeable. The sound level sound great for me.
After about a year with just the Tanabe's, I wanted to change things up a bit so I installed the R2C intake and it has definitely changed the sound inside the cabin at WOT.
I like this set-up but I haven't heard it from the outside and not sure if I ever will...lol cause not sure if I'll let the wife take it again. JK, I'm sure someday she'll take it for a spin. I agree with these guys to install the exhaust first.

Lol, nope. I wrote it after some trial and error AND listening to your advice in the threads.
I did a lot quick at first. I'm still going fairly quickly but I've been appreciating the mods one at a time. R2C has been great, loved the sound at WOT. RHFCS went on next with the sways, faster and more nimble = WIN.
I have a lot if projects on tap but I'm trying to slow down a bit and enjoy them and the difference they make.

The two forum vendors I've talked to about the Tanabe axle back - are now out of stock...can any vendor with them in stock PM me or also any fellow members that may know of someone with it in stock? Ready to buy tomorrow (Monday).
