Yes it does in the Vid , but sounds nothing like that is person. Kinda why i'm against people looking for sound clips.

 

Please post a vid that compares! Would like to hear it.

 

Looks good.

The Y-pipe is an awesome piece. If I ever get another Z, it's either the Tanabe or JIC Y-pipe for me.

 

Great new vids! I love my Tanabe as well. I will vouch that the depth of this exhaust, or any exhaust, can not be captured on the built-in mic on a camcorder.

 

nice vids. Still love how it keeps the VQ sound.

 

i have my Tanabe Y-Pipe and Tanabe Hyper Medalion Exhaust for two years now. I still love the sound and I never see other Z that have exhaust sound better than mine.

you will hear rasp if you put test pipe. Put HFC like kinetix i have. No rasp at all.

 

Can someone give feedback on how the Tanabe Hyper sounds with the stock y-pipe??

 

I had HFC, stock y-pipe and exhaust a yr ago. With this setup, I got little rasp when car is cold. After the car is warm up. You may not hear any sound different. To me, I feel it has more free flow with tananbe y-pipe.

 

Are you replying to me?? I asked if the Tanabe Hyper sounded different with the stock y-pipe...

 

I think he was replying to you because he did say he had the stock y-pipe on, but he had HFC's.......

But if you added this exhaust to the otherwise stock system, I don't think you will hear much difference at all, if any - versus this exhaust with an aftermarket y-pipe. The Tanabe midpipe is 70mm (~2.36) diameter on the exit side and the stock y-pipe ext it 2.25 (correct me if i'm wrong). It's not that much of a difference and it will progressively get bigger, so I wouldn't think the sound itself would change much.

 

Oh I see what the other guy is saying.

BTW: 70mm = 2.75in.

After the cats, the Tanabe Y-pipe collects the airlow with dual 60mm(2.36") piping and then singles into the 70mm(2.75") piping. Then the Tanabe Hyper Exhaust collects the airflow with the 70mm(2.75") midpipe.

 

Damn, yes. The inlets on the tanabe are 60mm which is the 2.36"....i had a feeling after i typed it out that i got them reversed. Thanks for catching that.

 

Kenny-

Did your car get any louder with the HFC's? If so how much?

 

Basically the same...

 

If the exhaust produce 95db at WOT. I would say it is now around 100-105db with HFC. Still quiet when Idle and highway driving. But you'll get meaner tone.

If you love the your exhaust sound now but want louder. HFC is a good choice

 

3 Db is a double in sound, i have res. test pipes on mine and its actually really quiet, maybe gained 1.5 Db

 

I want it louder so I think I'm going to stick with test pipes but which ones? I've been looking at AAM's and I know Berk's are coming out soon too. I've read that guys that have AAM's are rubbing. We'll see. I'm in no rush yet.

 

Hate to bring this car back from the the dead again, but after seeing the "new" vid clips, just wondering how different it sounds (if there is any dif at all) on the VQHR as opposed to the DE?

 

I'm not sure what new clips your talking about? I'll be posting new ones next week after I get the Berk test pipes and Fujita intakes installed. I can't wait for that. I'm also getting it dyno'd on Dec. 15th at the AMS/Berk Tech dyno day. I'll again post clips.

 

^ Sorry, should have specified. The one's you posted more recently...10/28.
