Default Stock vs Tanabe
In this short video you will see the difference between the stock exhaust and a Tanabe Medalion Exhaust on a 2015 Lexus GS 350 F Sport.

Um save your money. Even borla, as subdued as it is, you can hear it a little more. Sorry, I can hardly tell the difference with these two.

Interesting. With the Invidia mid and Tanabe axle-back was very loud and drone-y. I went back to stock because it was annoying. Anybody interested in my old setup PM me. Otherwise I will toss it after a month.

I have had the Tanabe on for about two years now and they do get louder over time.
I feel they sound great.

What's the point of this exhaust over stock? I must be missing something.
