It took me about an hour or a little less. I had the most difficulties getting the hangers off the two brackets next to where the old exhaust bolted together. Then it was smooth sailing. I put the tanabe together after I put the two canisters in the hagers near the rear bumper first, then put the two hangers on the spot where the old exhaust bolted together. Then I bolted the two new pieces together. Last but not least, I bolted the Tanabe to the stock exhuast. LOOKS OUTSTANDING.
The sound is exactly what I wanted. Can't be happier. NOT RICE BURNERISH AT ALL .
Here are some pics of me installing it and after looks.
Thanks again to Tanabe for making such a great looking, and great sounding exhuast.
awesome . . . always feels better when you saved money and did it all yourself! Looks sweet . . . i would REALLY like to hear this exhaust if you or anyone can post a clip.
Hey DJ! Where in Cali do you live? If its close enough would you mind meeting up so that I can check out your ride? I'm thinking about getting 20's but am not sure how they would look. Oh and I noticed in another thread that you stated that you returned your IS to stock suspension, why is that? BTW, nice setup and that exhaust is looking great!
Hey if you;'re going to meet up I'm interested... I wnat to hear the Exhaust in person... I really like the looks but need to make sure I like the sound.
depending where you guys are, Id be down to meet so you can hear the exhaust if youd like. I live in Pasadena. But my parents are out in DB/Walnut. Either area is cool for me.

I live in socal, Fountain valley. I also work in Cerritos. Let me know if you want to meet up. Also, the reason I went back to stock is because I rubbed soooooooo much in the front, and I didn't want to go with even a lower profile tire, and I didn't want to roll my fenders. So now I can actually drive my car the way it's supposed to be drivin', fast, and not like a lowrider, like a LEXUS!!!!!!
