Tanabe Medallion Touring on my 06

ZERO drone in my wagon.

It is also WAY quieter than a Hush I previously had. Compared to my coworker's Fujitsubo, it's still louder but not by much. Fitment is very good but I will need to get longer hangers as I don't want the tip to melt my bumper. It's not touching but pretty close.

Highly recommend this exhaust. If anyone's ever ran catless with the STi catback, the Touring sounds like when take off from a stop. Once you get moving though, you don't hear the STi cbe anymore. With the Touring, you hear it the whole way. The biggest thing for me was the highway drone with Hush.

I'm done looking with exhausts now.

Hey juicy,

+1 on the tanabe touring med. I have the same exhaust on my 06 Wagon with a Helix catted downpipe. This is probably the best exhaust for wagon owners to have is they want zero drown at cruise on the freeway!!

I'm thrilled to hear that this system has no droning for wagons.

Is that pic with the longer hangers or without?
How is this exhaust compared to the Greddy SP2 sound wise? I'm trying to find the quietest exhaust, haha

I have the long hangers from Kartboy, not the XL ones but standard "long" ones.

I haven't heard an SP2 but the Touring sounds dope.

cool thanks. Did you buy it new? mind if I ask how much you paid for it? You can PM me if you want. You go to any meets? Maybe I can get a ride in it to see what kind of sound level to expect. Thanks

I bought mine used, I think had 12k on it, for $430? It's been awhile since I went to a meet but I met up with nomotiv3 today in Pleasanton so he could look at the exhaust and drove him around for a little bit so he could hear it as well.

No drone, not loud at all, pull the trigger if you have a chance.
