They are great exhausts - just be sure to install them the correct way, or more like, the way Tanabe designed them to be installed. From Juvinchima's pics, it seems that it was installed the other way unless he strapped the canisters up closer to the hangers.

What's the correct way?

Juvinchima

No straps used, it was just bolted on as instructed by Tanabe.

Well there is a small etched plate/label on the end of the Y pipe. This should face down on the car. When I installed my set, I found that it could be installed either way. The non-Tanabe intended way yielded a more aggressive look, making the canisters look more slanted and you can see more if it and because of the angle, it tucked the tips up closer to the rear bumper. Only thing with this is that if you go over a high driveway or speedbump let's say, you may scrape the y-pipe.

If installed the Tanabe way with the label facing down, the canisters are more tucked in under the back and the tips don't hang as tight to the bumper. I had called Tanabe just to make sure as it seemed odd when I first had them on. I guess it's your choice how you want it. Just wanted to let you know that it can be installed both ways and what Tanabe intended them to be.

I attached a picture for reference.
