I've decided to cut off the Greddy tips and weld them onto the Tanabe system.

Oh wow, can't wait to see the outcome! Though I know you'll probably do another walk around

Screw that idea, I'm throwing out my Greddy System. What a piece of $h*t it is. It just looks good with those massive 4" tips.
I've decided to put back my Tanabe system which was awesome... except this time, I'm changing the tips to 3.5" Carbon Fibre ones. I think they will look awesome on my car.

Default In case anyone else is thinking of doing this...

I may be an idiot, but I'm willing to try!

the tanabe's fit and finish is amazing. Tips are perfect size. I had one with an apexi mid pipe. It droned between 2-3k which was disappointing. Sounded great on load and didnt drone under 2k. Not sure if there is any drone without midpipe. Drone is unacceptable to me...

Hi,

Yes the Tanabe quality and finish is amazing. I wish the tips were 104mm (4") instead of 90mm (3.5")
And YES, there is drone without midpipes. Mine droned between 3k and 5k RPM.

No drone in slow traffic and idle.

No it's not, decided not to go in that direction. Difficult to have a 5L V8 not sound like a muscle car, if you know what I mean. To me it's a good thing, I love it. No headers yet as I'm almost worried at how loud this thing could get... Might do Novel headers at some point soon, it should sound ridiculous.

I'm planning on doing just headers and leaving everything else stock. Like these two guys



They dont sound muscle-car to me.

This is a second option I may consider, Novel is very expensive.


I think with the valves closed it doesnt sound too bad.

Thanks for the videos. I have been thinking about starting a header thread just because there is a lot of guys here that are at this point pretty experience with their headers and can advice from experience.

PPE Long Tubes vs. Equal Length Tubes = Power Differences? Is there a gain on any of them, and how much? Serious people.
SIKKY Long Tubes = Seem to be the one with the most data related to power gains. Are they real? Not as expensive.
Novel = Incredible sound, have an integrated CAT at the collector, no need to trick the ECM... Is there a power gain? I think less than expected... Very expensive.
