Hey Im a club tanabe freak here too. I have their exhaust and springs. I was one of the lucky ones who got the first production. Have this for almost 1 1/2 years now and no regrets so far.

I agree, I'm a Tanabe freak too! I too have their exhaust and springs. I'm looking in to getting the support braces too since they are relatively cheap. I wanted to put a japanese product on a japanese car is my point of view.

I didn't know there is a break-in period for this exhaust, or any exhaust.

^ There is.

Flipsonic

How is that done?

I'm wondering how tight did you guys torque the screw with the spring on it? 'cause the tanabe exhaust seemed to be a little shorter or something compared to the stock exhaust. I read somewhere on this forum that you can't tighten it until the springs are fully compressed so I'm wondering how tight did everyone tighten that bolt?

Yeah I definately agree. I like Japanese parts on a Japanese car. Not to sound arrogant, but I dont want to put low quality Taiwanese parts on my car because to me its like lowering the value of the car. I have the Touring Medalion and the quality is exceptional.

Did you ever get any info on this? I just installed mine and wondered about the spring bolt as well. I saw the spacer go through the flange on the tanabe end and then I heard the spring making a noise so I backed it off.

any ideas what's correct?
