LTH with HFC + CBE = ?

So... totally unrelated, I spent the better part of an hour playing Need for Speed Shift II on my computer racing... you guessed it, a 370Z. I was trying to beat my previous best lap time on Nurburgring of 8:14 in a bone stock Z. After many furious attempts at generating a near perfect lap, I did an 8:08. I definitely do not have the stones to do some of the things I did to get that.

Well I picked up PPE headers for a good deal and found an AE Performance oil cooler for a solid deal also. Next purchase is the Y pipe

I did change gears a bit with the exhaust. I've been looking at the Tanabe Medallion Touring exhaust system as it is a few hundred cheaper than the 5zigen without compromising quality. I found it brand new for under $1200 + ship. I've heard video's but not in RL. I verified inner diameter sizes of both the Y pipe and mid pipe to make sure they were the same size. What do you guys think of the Tanabe exhaust? It's slim pickings compared to all the dual exhausts I see at fair prices. It seems all the exhausts that use a Y pipe cost a small fortune and made of titanium...
