Tanabe Racing Medallion exhaust??
Does anyone have a Tanabe Racing Medallion exhaust. I am looking at getting it and wanted to find out what everyone thought about it and how well it works. I know that there are others that perform better but I like the look of it. I like the distance from the end of the tip to the muffler but if it is a bad exhaust to get then I will look at some of the others. Any info would be great.

I bought this exhaust back in May of last year. 1 word, INCREDIBLE! I really think Tanabe are the best sounding exhaust out there. Real deep sound, won't sound like one of those damn Honda's out there. Excellent build quality and fits perfectly in about 15 to 20min. The only other exhausts I really saw in person were the Blitz and the HKS. The Tanabe looks the best and definitely sounded the best. It's not too too loud with the silencer out, and with the silencer in, it's like a deeper/throatier stock exhaust.

I see that there are two versions of this exhaust the Tanabe Racing Medalion Exhaust and the Tanabe Super Racing Medalion Exhaust. What is the difference? Is it nothing but they just added Super in the name or what?

i actually ordered the racing medalion back when Fizz had their sale, but they sent me the Hyper instead. rather than wait to send it back and get the new one, i just installed the Hyper and have been very happy with it.
i have great pics and sound clips of both if anyone is interested

- Racing Medalion = stainless steel muffer + aluminum coated piping
- Super Racing Medalion = stainless steel muffer + stainless steel piping.
