I don't know for certain if there is a 70mm exhaust out there that will allow you to pass.I think the ASM might work, but I don't have experience with it. Unless you're trying to compete in some sort of HPDE Time Trial or something like that, I don't think you'd really mind the difference between a 60mm and 70mm exhaust. You could make up for the marginal difference in power elsewhere.

I think the only difference between the two Tanabe exhausts is the mufflers. Could be wrong though.

It's not cheap, but: http://urgedesigns.com/?page_id=1076

No idea about the db test because I have a different muffler setup than what Urge currently sells, but I am drone free and it sounds fantastic.

Thanks for all the help guys. Just ordered a Tanabe Medallion Touring exhaust today. Should be here on Saturday. I will probably be posting my Invidia exhaust up for sale shortly.

Meanwhile, my new tires and wheels are here.


Advan RS II's in gloss black.

Did the wing pull up your trunk lid?

Build looks good though... great choice in parts.
Side note... is your other car a GTR? pic!

Holy crap. I just noticed that. lol. I should probably loosen up the mounting points.

on second thought, I'm probably just going to get a CF trunk. Do you guys know if I would need any types of reinforcements to install the wing on the CF trunk?

And yeah. Other ride is a gtr. Here's a pic.

Damn man... your GTR... wow

Also, I know if you got the center mounted wing, voltex offers reinforcement plates but I'm not aware of any for side mounted wings...
On yours you could just carefully bend it back...
