Default Tanabe Conecpt G Exhaust

Does anyone know anything about Tanabe Conecpt G Exhaust for an 06 TC. I saw one on ebay, and I was wondering if anyone knows how reliable it is and how it sounds.....Let me know...

Hey pryde, do you happen to know any site that I can hear it for myself? I'm interested in it also.

Btw, do you have pics?

I just installed this exhaust last night, i love it!

Its not as quiet as I thought it would be, but none the less, its much more quiet than most other exhaust.

It has a really deep tone(deeper than TRD) to about 3500 rpm, then it has that g35/350z 'hollow' kinda sound, but not high pitch.

Overall nice rumble.

Install was a breeze, hardest part was taking off stock bolts, hehe.

It does sit a bit close to the bumper, but I used to ol' zip ties and it fits a perfect 1 inch from the bumper, no melting, wrinkling nothing!

Ill make a thread with pics and vids soon, keep a look out!

i installed it no problem with all the mounts without lowering it...its been about 1000 miles so far that i had it on for, and no melting of the bumper as of yet. I think if it was a major problem, they would either tell you that in the product warnings, or position it a little lower. I have a super medallion racing tanabe exhaust for my honda prelude.....the racing version that the use for the supras, rx-7, etc....no melting on that one.....none on the tc. with the concept g axleback...in my opinion, i wouldn't worry about it too much......for a really good price and incredibly fast shipping, buy it from showstoppersusa....

I have a quick question. Does the exhaust tip come out straight like the injen or does it come out at an angle. Pictures would also be appreciated! thanks in advance.
