Need some advice w/ my g35 coupe. who's tried what systems and how do they sound? ease of install .... quality of same ....
thanks to all for (free) advice.

 

got with HKS... super nice

 

i've had both the Fujitsubo and now the Tanabe Touring Medallion.

The Fuji is a great sounding exhaust, and if you can live with the larger size tips, it's great.




Tanabe will be coming out with a new exhaust around the summer of 2005. I've attached pictures of both exhaust for you to compare. I am currently running the prototype version of this exhaust.




The sound from the Tanabe exhaust is simply mesmerizing. Slightly louder than the Fuji at idle.

Both are extremely well made. If I recall, the Fuji has a larger piping diameter compared to the Tanabe.

Both will net you dynos in the 7-10 rWHP range at peak RPM. Slightly more if you add their respective Y-Pipes.

Let me know if you have any more questions.

I went for the Invidia G200 Dual System. I had an "H" Pipe welded in. The system fits great. All connections are bolt and flange, no chance for leaks. Great sound, not to loud, but deep. No drone and I have mine pared with Crawford Cats. Fully Polished Stainless Steel with Polished Titanium Tips. I'm glad I waited for this one.

Fujitsubo
Fujitsubo Y-Pipe
Crawford Cats

looks good and sounds great-- a little bit deeper sound then stock...

 

Pro1 headers, kinetix Hf cats, Injen SES - deep, loud, and mean as hell!

I'm sure the exhaust will quiet down after I create a custom Y-pipe connector to bolt up to the down pipe of either the Turbonetics or APS ST kit this winter...

 

Since I only have heard Nismo in person, how do these two compare at idle and when revving through the rpm?

Which one is quieter bettern the new Tanabe and Fuji and HKS? Deeper tone?

 

Stay away from Injen.

 

AT IDLE THE FUJI IS A LITTLE BIT QUIETER THEN STOCK,, BUT AT HIGER RPM IT IS DEEPER THEN STOCK...AFTER ANDDING THE CRAWFORD HF CATS I THINK THE FUJI SOUNDS WICKED..(NO CIVIC SOUND HERE) MY .02 CENTS I THINK THE CRAWFORD AND THE FUJI ARE A PERFECT MATCH.

 

Why????

 

fiberglass issues.. lots of it

 

Have you heard these? Take these clips for what they are worth. They are on Z's and well they are sound clips from a camera which are not as true to what you would hear in person, but at least you get an idea of their sound.

Hands Down, AMUSE R-1

 

Check out www.sportzmagazine.com and notice we did an exhaust shoot out. This article/data may help you make a choice that will match your goals.

Remember, some owners are more interested in hp, others, sound. Most owners have driven maybe 1 or 2 different Z/G's with aftermarket exhaust. We at SZM tested a bunch of them, dyno'ed them all on the same day and dyno to measure accurate hp/torque gains, and measured the noise output of each.

 

APEXi WS II? I'm trying to gain some insight about this system.

 

RS*R loud and deep.

 

HKS!!
