Ultra Spec Titanium Medalion
Tanabe has developed an entirely new series of Lightweight Titanium exhaust systems with race-proven technology and the added benefits of maximum weight reduction. With an extensive history in developing exhaust systems for race applications in conjunction with feedback from Japan's top race teams, the Ultra Medalion achieves a perfect combination of a lightweight cat-back system with a free-flowing straight-through design for maximum performance and durability.
Lightweight Titanium
Considerable weight savings are gained on the Ultra Medalion cat-back exhaust system through the use of a lightweight titanium exhaust muffler canister. The tip is swept at an upwards angle and flame torched for that blue titanium aggressive race look.
High Quality SUS304 Stainless Steel
Featuring mandrel bends, the entire Ultra spec Titanium Medalion is 100% SUS304 stainless steel, 1.2mm thickness, for maximum weight reduction and optimal durability. Stainless steel is used throughout the system from the exhaust hangers to the canister band clamps for enhanced appearance and increased resistance to the elements. 2.5mm or 7mm flanges are used throughout the exhaust for the various temperature sections. Argon welding is used on all of the stainless steel components.
Proprietary design gives our exhaust an edge over the competition.
The Tanabe manufacturing facilities takes pride in being at the leading edge of top-notch quality construction and technological development. Our products are constructed in accordance to the industry manufacturing standard of ISO9001 (International Organization for Standardization 9001) Certification thus placing stringent quality assurance controls in place to ensure that only the best products are produced.
Race proven straight-form design allows for a minimum amount of bends for maximum performance. Mandrel bent pipes are used to optimize exhaust flow. Secondary oxygen sensor plug included on certain applications for those needing an exhaust system for strictly race application.
After thorough research, the densities of the packing material are calculated to Tanabe's own specifications for the aggressive deep exhaust note.
Race Minded - Street Drivable
All the benefits of a race engineered exhaust system while still street-able; all exhaust systems include a removable inner silencer baffle for quiet street operation.

somewhat pricey, little too loud, lost low end torque
Gained some high end horses, but lost some low end torque. Looks pretty good though--simple and not too flashy. Fitted onto my \'05 STi without any modification. Best feature of this exhaust was the deep low tone it produced. And it\'s lighter than almost any other aftermarket exhaust system offered for the STi.
