Do they sell universal medallions? I've tried searching and came up with nothing. If you have a link, can you post it?

wish it was angle cut instead of straight, and hopefully they went to 3" instead of barely over 2" at 60mm. please tanabe, tell me you went with 3" or 80mm at least.

The car in the youtube video is mine and I absolutely love the way this exhaust looks and sounds

I got this setup test fitted by Tanabe about 2 summers ago so I'm a little surprised it took them that long to release it finally. Hey, I can't complain. It feels good to know that I'm the first and only one (with the exception of another test vehicle) to exclusively have this one-off exhaust piece Just messing guys!

Here are some pictures of it on my car:









Hope you guys get to buy it soon and get to enjoy it

okay..i just ordered mine and according to tanabe, they should be shipping out around the 23rd. how hard is it to install an axleback exhaust? ive never done one before, so this will be a first. im super excited to get this, so i can take my loud magnaflows off and sell them.

axleback install are fairly easy. just unbolt the mufflers section and rebolt the new exhaust on. you will still be using your old factory piping. by the way, how much were the exhaust?

wow by far the worst way to waste 600 bucks. if you get creative you can have a full cat back with much better looking mufflers for half the price.

tanabe makes good stuff but an axle back is not worth 600 bucks.

i would rather get the universals and weld them on.
