It sounds great AJ. Spot-on with the subtle differences that add up to the bigger affect (resonance). Before I had exhaust clearance issues due to my old AM suspension setup. Lesson learned lol but anyway awesome videos as always bro.
I’m running the TOMEI titanium cat back dual exit atm on mine and it sounds awesome. I currently have the TOMEI headers and high flow cats on order so I’m exited to see what what it sounds like with the full exhaust system done.
Glad you liked it! Tanabe sounds really refined with just the right amount of aggressive tone. It doesn't have a typically VQ gurgle either which is what I like.
My 3.8L Cadillac VSport gets complements (TT V6 heavily modded). I have a special mid pipe, resonated down pipes, and 3" all the way back. At idle in a parking lot people think it's the V8 version. On the road I get questions at red lights. :) My son has a 2005 350Z Touring 6MT I am helping with (DE engine).
That's awesome you're into cars and teaching your son. Hopefully our videos can help you with the car. Here's another video for the 350Z ruclips.net/video/HNiZCzpwlwo/видео.html
Anthony, enjoyed the video...very informative. I recently had invidia gemini catback fitted and it's exactly what i wanted..close to stock at idle but deeper and has an edge to it on full throttle. Love how it burbles and pops on overrun too, and no drone. Quality is on a par with your tanabe but its a dual with x over behind resonators...noticed you mentioned the ground clearance issue with some systems and ive seen the gemini fitted on another RUclips vid with the rear pipe UNDER the ARB!...It fits both ways but obviously should go over, so anyone about to fit this exhaust should be aware. Keep up the good work
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! It really helps hearing from others because there's so many products and people have different experiences. It helps everyone when others share so we can build better cars.
@@AnthonyJ350 absolutely true...off topic question..my 08 hr has developed a slight hesitation on light throttle application at low revs, eg, pulling away and driving in stop start traffic or coming back on throttle gently after lifting off...doesn't do it on cold engine, or maybe it's just not noticeable till the revs drop when warm. No faults showing on prof. diagnostics or obd2 reader. Any ideas?
On my 2015 370z . I cut a rectangle peice out from the top of the muffler panel. And I connected. The two incoming pipes to the two outgoing pipes so it's like straight exhaust. So it made my stock muffler about 2 x louder but no to loud. Just FYI .
I love the refined stockish note of your exhaust now. Quick question, does it drone at all from inside the cabin just regular driving around 2-3k? @AnthonyJ350
That V6 sounds really nice with the new exhaust, very throaty, but not droney, and bet long term it will sound great. Curious of what you would recommend for the Accord 3.0/3.5 or the 3.2/3.5/3.7 TLs.
Well more or less looking for a more aggressive sound like your Nissan, but don't want to go over the top loud droning in the cabin. Something that's fairly quiet when puttering around but really wakes up when you put your foot into it.
@@ShaunMMX I would look into Tanabe or Magnaflow systems. They tend to be more quiet until you drive the vehicle hard. Tanabe is more expensive but sounds more refined at all engine speeds.
@@AnthonyJ350 sweet thanks! Not sure what car I would be in, but its going to be something with the J series V6. I'm a sucker when you hear the V-TEC kick in with those engines.
Awesome video! IMO, cheap aftermarket exhausts are often a great value. I bought a catback exhaust for my Civic from Spec D Tuning for $110 shipped, and it's decent. My biggest complaint is that there is a low spot that scrapes from time to time, but even if I pay an exhaust shop $50 to modify the pipe so it doesn't scrape, it's still a great value IMO.
Anthony. You do a good job explaining things. I plan to install your setup on my 07 HR. Only difference for me will be test pipes. Local laws forces me to have Cats. I plan to install Berk HF Cats. Do you think the tone will differ much from yours?
Out of interest, does the motordyne have a higher pitch? I suspect it’s louder compared to yours- is that true? At one stage I was seriously considering the MD with stock cats but was deterred due to the excessive volume.
I think mine would have a higher pitch (the mic doesn't pick everything and depends on the speakers you're listening to). The Tanabe systems are tested at 93 decibels before release. Mine is probably a little louder than 93 db because I'm modified but im pretty sure it's more quiet than a Motordyne muffler setup because I can't hear it that much in the cab. I believe Motordyne muffles using the Advanced Resonance Tuning while the Tanabe (well my whole setup) uses traditional perforated tube with a sound deadening material they call Advantex.
Your exhaust definitely sounds cleaner to my ears compared to the MD. I’d be curious to know if you have any drone? Through deliberation I went with the fast intentions traditional catback a while back and regretted it until the day I sold it; massive waste of money. It was way too boomy and loud in cabin (especially around the 2100-2500 rpm range)- this is with stock cats. The fruitiness of the VQ was gone… I ended up selling my HR, though do miss it at times. If I ever got another one, I’d do thorough sound deadening (acoustishield kit) first and upgrade my exhaust in stages similar to what you did. Love the videos btw- very insightful!
@@101TheKMan I don't think it will drone, believe it or not my cheap setup didn't drone on the highway. The new setup is even better just looking at the materials and listening to it. Which is why I like it for longer drives. We'll see when I put it through real world testing.
Hey Anthony I was wondering where to buy this muffler in canada, oh and it's not the medallion system is it ? What is the specific name and would I need to pair this with an intake
Check out iRace Auto Sports. I've been buying a lot of parts from them to save on duty. It is the medallion system. I would also put a Motordyne XYZ pipe on it with a resonator or high flow cat. Depending if you have cats up front or test pipes.
Wow thanks , my z is fully stock and if I do anything it will be similar to your cold air mod and this exhaust , I can't say how impressed I am with your content , thanks for your response
Do you personally think the tanabe sounds like the stock exhaust? I want that sound cause I have an 07’ g35 coupe and love the stock sound. Only reason why I’m hesitating on buying an after market
Anthony mentioned the design of the mid pipe being straight which means less restriction. Do you want loud or just up the volume a bit? You can experiment by removing some restriction 😎 this way you can get an idea to the right tone you seek.
I think it has a very similar tone to factory, but louder. Here is the exhaust clip, keep in mind most of my exhaust has been changed ruclips.net/video/P8_7EfQEYoM/видео.html
@@ronchristella I'd start with the Motordyne XYZ pipe with a resonator (if you have factory cats). If you still want more volume get the Tanabe Medallion after.
@@downonit22 My XYZ pipe has a high flow cat, cleans up the sound a lot and the car doesn't smell. I don't think you're going to make that much more power catless that is worth it on a street vehicle.
@@downonit22 Resonated test pipes help, but I think the high flow cat really mellowed it out. It's quiet in the cab when I cruise, but when you get on it you can hear it.
Tanabe huh? Dang...Was wondering if touching your exhaust and not wiping it off will cause the finger prints to be baked on it when the exhaust warms up.
No issues, I'm using the theory it's a heat sink to help dissipate heat and I guess it adds to the volume of the intake ever so slightly. Not sure if it helps atomize the air and fuel mixture on a port injection engine. But no complaints. It's the only mod I seem to keep doing but am not sure how effective it is. That's why I picked this design so it hopefully acts like a heat sink and the "fins" let off the heat.
Eh, well... because I've heard that with heatsinks for computers and exhausts, if you touch it, you should wipe it or it'll have a finger print on it and look ugly over time. I have this for my Noctua NH-D14 and didn't know and how i found out this was from someone's exhaust video/work. I can't get rid of it. Tried IPA and does not come off. Question: Does the Max Hp or Max Streetability Tanabe exhausts come with cats?
@@Limeayy Have you tried a metal polish or wheel polish? I don't think Tanabe comes with a high flow cat. You would have to get it from Berk Technology or use the cat in the Motordyne XYZ pipe.
V6 can be sounds like v12 from 6k rpm and up, but other than that it sounds like it's own thing. An in line 6 sounds more/closer to v12 above almost entire rpm. I mean who doesn't want to own a car cam sounds like expensive v12 right?

Very good comparison, I like the part where you showcased how the the materials used on the exhaust sound.
Thanks! Ya I didnt realize how many differences there were till you had them side by side.

Thanks! No drone at all on this setup. Technically it has 3 resonators to ensure that doesn't happen. Cruising at 2k rpm it sounds stock.
i’m in vancouver too where did u buy this exhaust?
