Tanabe Confusion

So I have been thinking about the exhaust route I want to go and the one question I keep coming up with is...will this fit? So according to the online shops these pipes are both Y-pipes. The short obviously the coupe and the longer one is supposedly for the sedan. To me however, it looks like the mid pipe for the coupe. I cannot get a straight answer..not even from Tanabe! Does anyone here have these and can affirm what I think I already know? Also does that "mid pipe" fit the stock muffler? It looks like it does

T50063 is a coupe Y-pipe. T50132 is a coupe mid pipe. Yes, the mid pipe bolts directly up to the OEM muffler.

THANK YOU! Thats exactly what I thought. I messaged one of the vendors to ask them that question and I swear they told me that it does not bolt up and that the T51032 was the y pipe for the sedan. Dumb. Thanx BB

If you call Tanabe there's a good chance you'll talk to someone who has no clue either. I've spoken to them 3 or 4 times regarding tech issues (coilovers). It's like I'm speaking to a tech support person in India reading canned answers from a script who has no clue about what a car even is. Horrible customer service. And good luck if you have a warranty issue. Ask anyone who has has their coilovers fail. It will be YOUR fault.

Wow. Actually come to think of it..one of those vendors was Tanabe! I e-mailed them, and they told me that it doesnt fit. Well..i'll have to really make sure I want those pipes.

Lol, I called them to confirm that strut bar that they only have listed as a Q50 application clearly fits G Sedans and coupes, it would open up 5x the sales volume if not more, but they didn't care
But then again they only have one lowering spring part# for our Gs and it works on all models (just much better on some, and worse on most).

All of this is sad LoL...their exhaust products sound awesome. But hearing about the lack of care when dealing with customers is a little disconcerting
