I would PM GSoup or ACleanSC4 since they've done it before. Check these threads:

During the 1-2 day break-in period some smoke will come once the car is turned off b/c of the Advantex packing material inside the muffler so had to snap a pic of it too! haha

in your opinion is the tanabe annoying while cruising. my old g35 had a borla and even thogh sounded absolutely hardcore ( high flow cats and intake and intake manifold) it got annoying on the way home from work while exhausted. i would have to turn the radio up a little. on acceleration it would vibrate interior pannels. im looking for a very quiet exhaust. something thats more cosmetic than full on race. im still debating. please writre back your feed back . the you tube clips i find are all with intake and exhaust, anf the freakn intake sounds louder than the exhaust under 4-5 k. it seems tempting and the tanabe exhaust is really cheap compared to systems ive purchased in the past for prev car

honestly man, the tanabe exhaust is exactly what you want, it is super quite but not loud, until you get on it hard. From 1-2,800 RPM's it is almost stock. It is 3K+ RPM's that it gets loud...

Thanks For The Input Guys. Im Most Likely Going To Prder An Exhaust Just To Give The Car Some Damn Soul. The Car Is Numb. When I First Bought It It Sounded Like An Electric Car To Me Relative To The Old G35. Your Doing 120 On A Back Road And You Really Have No Clue Bec It Really Feels Like 70 -80 Mph. At First I Was A Little Sad Bec The Old Car Made You Feels Like You Were Moving, It Also Made Sure That Everyone Around You Knew You Were Flying. Im Getting Used To The Silence. It Makes Me Feel Insulated And Detatched From The Road And Everyone Around Me. Nice When Tired On The Way Home From An Extremely Busy Day. But When I Do Some Spirited Driving You Miss That Deep Tone And Roar. Man I Used To Roll Up On People Driving A Prius And Blow The Doors Off The Thing Or Rev It Up At A Light Just To Show The Guy The Joy Of 18-20 Mpg. The Old System On The G35 (intake, Plenum,ecu Retune, Borla Exhaust, And High Flow Cats) Would Set Car Alarms Off All The Time. That Car Was Freakn Bad ***. Ive Seen A Guy With A Gs That Was Worked Like That G35 Of Mine And It Made The Car Look Cheap. The Large Spoiler, Carbon Fiber Trunk, Hood, Body Kit, And Dumped. This Guys Car Looked Like He Was Doing Stuff To The Car Just To Do Stuff To The Car. As Much As I Miss The Old G35 This Is Not A Sports Sedan, The Gs350 Is A Luxury Sports Sedan. It Doesnt Share A Platform With A Sports Car. This Car Is Remain In My Opinion A Vip Car, Not Some Track Day Machine.
