Thanks guys. Yeah I've seen that they're super popular with the GT-R crowd. I'm surprised more people don't have this exhaust.....it's not that expensive. Shipping kills it though.
It's made of stainless, but it's supposed to be really thin piping to make it extra light. I'm installing it today, so I'll post a pic when I finish getting it on.

But after holding it and seeing it, the construction on the piping doesn't seem to be any thinner really than an HKS or GReddy exhaust. I had the GReddy duals on before this and the piping looks basically the same, just difference in diameter. Material is SUS304, so it should hold up unless I really bottom out bad on something. The exhaust doesn't really hang low at all, and it's super solid too. After installing it yesterday, I tried wiggling it back and forth so see if there was a lot of play in movement or anything, and I could barely get it to move at all.
I'll get a video up this weekend for everyone. I'm going to shoot an identical one to the vid I made for my greddy exhaust, here:

Yeah I thought about that also before buying the exhaust, and it did have me really freaked out because my car is low.

Anyway, this Kakimoto one I'm really pleased with so far. I know it's going to get louder in about a week too, because I'm still breaking it in or whatever. But so far it sounds freaking awesome.

The TE37SL are not that bad. Crappy picture don't help. The finish is really nice.
In terms of the old wheels, I might still keep them for DD..
