No sorry I mean that I couldn't get it cheaper buying it direct from the US. I agree that the above price is good.

My exhaust came from Tarmacsportz and was shipped from the US all for £886 to my door. That said, I have dealt with Andy at S2Ktuning and he is a top chap to deal with, so for the sake of a few quid and wondering about import duty and tax I'd recommend him.

The car just took off with a glorious exhaust sound. I'll try to get some videos done tomorrow weather permitting. Meanwhile, this is a great cat and exhaust upgrade.
Any sign of these videos yet? wold be good to hear it.

Yes, sorry about the delay. Just waiting for a day when I am a) home early enough and b) it's dry so that I can record it with the roof down as well as up. I also want my daughter there so she can record a drive by video (I would ask my wife but she doesn't understand!).

Some videos but I used the GoPro built in mic so the sound isn't as good as it could be:

Just had the Tanabe Concept G fitted at the weekend and I have to say the drone is very bad. Between 3 to 4.5k is the worst and uncomfortably loud.

When installing the exhaust the garage found that the inside of my cat has broken up, so I've ordered a Berk HFC out of necessity. Hopefully that will reduce the drone somewhat as I'm not sure I can live with it...

Interesting, let us know if the HFC makes it bearable?

The Berk HFC will make a big difference. Interesting that you find the drone very bad, I guess everyone has different tolerances to various frequencies. The biggest difference that I found was between the 3-4.5K RPM band, so motorway cruising is more relaxed so hopefully you will find the same. The sound is definitely improved with the HFC fitted
