If you could choose an exhaust, which one?
Tanabe Hyper Medallion
or
Apexi WS
i think they are both 2.5 piping, cant find definite info on the Tanabe since its OG.
If anyone could confirm piping size it would be great. I have measured both and they are 2.5 however Tanabe claims 60mm, IDK..
Which would you choose from a performance POV.?

I think the Tanabe Hyper Medallion was only available in Japan, it wasn't distributed through Tanabe-USA.. So that gives it a bit of nostalgia/rarity credit there 
The specs I've seen in the past were 60mm just like the Medallion Touring is. But I installed the World Sport on a GS before and it sounded very nice.
The build quality and fitment of either will be similarly excellent.
Tough call, the WS has the slant cut tip, but otherwise they look similar from the rear of the car.
One thing that I would think about is that if your looking at turbo/freeflow performance, aside from fact that they are 2.5"~ish piping, the Tanabe is a Straight-Through Perforated Core and the WS has an Offset Inlet/Outlet Chambered Mufflers so the Tanabe is likely a bit more free flowing, were as the WS would prob be better on an NA vehicle.
Either way, which ever is the better price and condition would be the thing I would consider a bit more.
