Yeah, we need a sound clip. That is the exhaust I have been dreaming about, just don't keep enough cash in the wallet for the thief to leave me one.

Looks good.

Thanks guys

I'll see what I can do about getting a sound clip posted, I did a little crappy one through my camera that I can post. Anyone in the OC area is welcome to come by and hear it for themselves. This exhaust does sound fantastic and the best part, at 70 MPH on the freeway the drone is nearly non existent with dead silence, radio on at all cant hear any drone

Looks great but the Y-pipe is installed upside down...they should be installed like how you had in laid out on the ground like picture #2. Personally I like it this way but Tanabe intended this to be done another way :P

Not to hijack your thread but here are clips of the medallion i have on my car.

No SS headers

With SS headers

It was installed this way on purpose, after reading through your thread on the other one I wanted it to be more aggressive looking and not hanging down. I did a test fitment both ways and liked the way it looked "upside down" better

You have header clips, hijack away
