I've got the same exhaust, it sounds amazing, you won't be dissipointed(hopefully).

I didn't have any problems with the install, although I found that removing the rubber hangers was difficult but I was still able to do the entire thing in under an hour, and I've never installed an exhaust on a car before.

You may have to use some wire ties or something to make sure that it doesnt knock against the fender, but I didn't have any problems with stuff like that.

Use a lot of WD40 on the bolts, and WD40 or soap and water along with a screwdriver to get the rubber hangers off...

holaplaneta

^^^ thx, i will go buy the wd40 2morrow.

you don't need wd40.....just use a torque wrench to loosen the spring bolts, and then unscrew by hand or use a normal ratchet.....for the rubber hangers, just wiggle at an angle back and forth and they come right off.....should not take you more than 30 min, and probably the easiest install out of all the 'performance" mods for the tC.....for an axle-back, i think its the cleanest sounding exhaust.....really low, and not too loud, but still aggressive sounding....

holaplaneta

sweeet!! yeah i got it because of that, is just the right sound IMO

For the guys that has this exhaust, how close is it sitting to your bumper?

holaplaneta

well i know one of my boys has it and he had to have it lowered at least 1 1/2 inches from the bumper cause it was sitting pretty close to start burnin the bumper

SSQ

yeah.... I have always liked Tanabe exhausts, but this thing with the Concept G sitting too close to the bumper prevents from buying it.

holaplaneta

well as soon as i install it i'll take pics and u can judge by them

SSQ

Thanks, can't wait

ive had this exhaust for a couple of months and no bumper burns..btw on the install...spray wd40 on spring bolts/rubber hangers...let it sit for 10 mins or so...use a breaker bar on spring bolts if you have one..makes the whole install easy..cuz those bolts can be tough..

jiggadomino

yo when is it getting put on
i've been waiting for days

give us some feedback!

holaplaneta

i know my bad, is just lots o work, no time off, but most def on the 4th, i will post pics and diy if i have time that day!

exhaust sits really close to the bumper, but have had this exhaust for over a year, and no bumper burns or anything, and i've been running a turbo kit too which hasn't made the exhaust burn my bumper, oh yeah, also have the factory ground effects kit....like i said before, install is no more than 15-30 min tops.....have fun, and enjoy the sound!!!

giftednimrod

I have it too, love it, doesn't sound/look ricey at all, and best of all it doesn't stick out at some absurd angle.

hey i have quick question for all, do i use the same bolts to install it or do i need to buy new ones, cause i didnt see anything in the box

malibuboy54

nah, you use the same spring compressed bolts.....use the new rubber hangers though.....you're gonna love the sound....

holaplaneta

what about the nuts that hold it down, cause on the stock exhaust they're attached to the flange. oh by the way thx to everyone that has helped!, 2morrow install for sure!
