The short ones? that are like a foot long (give or take). Yup G35 only

Great. Thanks.

What did you do with yours? Home-made pipe bombs? Nun-chucks?

currently they are resting on the pool table....I did use it as a phallic symbol to "wave" to the wife...which was moderately entertaining.

Just ordered a Magnaflow 14386 (integrated x pipe)...so hopefully that'll show up soon, and I'll get this exhaust quieter, and less ringy

Does anyone notice any power gain from this exhaust?

I have no dyno proof. but I can say that my mid/high rpm do feel better. feels less bogged from 4-7k

I thought it was purely placebo effect, but my wife took a ride, w/o me commenting on anything, and she said "that felt faster than before". so I'm convinced it helped some.

Thanks, that just helped me make up my mind on my exhaust choice. CXlighting/X02 it is!

I'm of the impression it can't be beat for the money. by the end I'll likely have 600 in mine...adding a muffler/xpipe...the combo of my HFC's and this exhaust make it too loud for me, and I have a ringing sound that needs to go away.

Good news!!

The exhaust is installed and it sounds amazing! It looks so good from the back, and I was really glad to see that my pipes are even!! The passenger side exhaust tip doesn't sit higher than the driver side exhaust tip. They must have fixed the problem. I'll get some pictures and video up soon.

Thanks, WTX.

The exhaust is a little louder than I expected. But I'm not complaining!

Also, I hear a short rattle coming from the back end of my car after I start the car and drive out in first. I think it may be my license plate or maybe the tips aren't bolted on tight enough. Got any ideas?

doubt its the tips, could be the nuts/bolts for them....or the plate....or maybe a heatshield....

Mine doesn't seem as ridiculously loud as it was, but I think I'm just getting used to it. My magnaflow x pipe muffler should arrive wed...so late this coming week I'll get that squared away.


It sounds nice and aggressive. but I'm more subdued than I used to be...all professional and such. feel like the car should match...just ignore the **** red paint

Haha, man. I fixed the rattle - it was the license plate as suspected. I sacrificed a beer koozie and made it into a psuedo-bump stop/cushion for the plate, and it works perfect. Some people call me MacGuyver.
