Thumbs up Love this Tanabe Medallion exhaust...

It just gets better and better after driving it for a while... the sound seems to have gotten slightly deeper... not a lot, just a bit....

That looks great! What else have you noticed besides the nice deep sound? Is the performance difference appreciable?

I was just noticing the nice deep rumble from my 430 tonight when I got out of it while it was running. From the back, it sounds very sweet even with just the factory exhaust.

The sound is deeper, though not as much of a "deepening" as you would get with a V-8 GS model..... but, not bad for the V-6er IMO. It idles quiet but perks up once you press it. Sorry, no sound clip but the Tanabe website has some sound clips of an IS350 with the exhaust on it.

Cannot really tell of any performance gain at this time.... I spent very little time in the car with the OEM exhaust before replacing it, so not much of a basis to go on I am afraid... I would _hope_ that this thing breathes a little better out the back end now, and once Fujita gets their GS350 intake kit done, it should do much better all around. I am hopeful that the combination of the exhaust and the new intake will yield me another 10-15 HP, maybe a little more.... who knows?
