The dyno printouts which will be shown later show a definite increase in power. (Dyno results will be shown at the completion of the June 2009 R&D Session) Make note that this test was done with the Medalion Touring exhaust, which is meant to provide a classy sound without attracting too much attention. Gains should be even greater with the race-inspired Concept G exhaust, however there were issues with fitment, and it'll have to be tested at a later date. Nevertheless, please be on the lookout for both of these exhaust systems, available to the public soon!

sounds smooth i like it

Damn, I want the Concept G, but looks like there will be a long wait due to the fitment issue.

AK,

FYI -- http://www.the370z.com/nissan-370z-g...d-updated.html

Might want to merge the threads.

PrimarySting 06-23-2009 11:45 AM

Is this just me or does it look like a y-pipe back exhaust? Other than that the Medallion looks and sounds great.

Edit: Nevermind- the other thread shows the aftermarket y-pipe!

Has Tanabe stopped development on these exhausts?

Stealth_Z 10-23-2009 05:58 PM

I was browsing and saw this thread... I really like this exhaust looks really good. I went ahead and called tanabe USA. According to them when they did a test fit couple months ago the concept G wasn't fitting right... The medallion fitted fine but they told me that it was not making that much HP... ALSO i was told that they are revising the exhaust and I believe there's another R&D session coming up this month... or end of this month.

Stealth_Z 10-27-2009 04:29 PM

Yeah it would be neat if they finish the RD on this. I'll be keeping my heads up for Tanabe... keep it up!

realneal370z 03-21-2011 01:42 PM

It sounds awesome. I really want this exhaust system. Is it available to fit UK RHD models?

realneal370z 03-23-2011 07:10 PM

Sounds great. Has anyone heard this together with Stillen's CBE in person to know how they compare in sound quality and volume? I'm undecided between them!
