UPDATE: Here are the day pictures and two sound clips. I took them with my digi-cam, so the audio is not that great. It sounds a lot better in person!

The guys at Tanabe installed their Medalion Touring exhaust on my car today. Here are some pictures I took after getting home. I'll take some sound clips soon.

 

nice exhaust!! Is it cat-back system?

 

Yes it is.

 

looks good, lets hear it!!!

 

Looks great!! Price? HP?

 

damn, lucky...

 

Thanks! Not sure about the price since they only use my car to test fit their equipment. I'm guess it's around $900 based on the other dual muffler prices on their site www.tanabe-usa.com .

The rep said they saw a 7 hp incrase across all RPMs as well as 7 lbs of torque after the dyno.

 

HOLY MOLY! That is HOT!

Man, If only Tanabe would make a G POWER one. haha, I have always loved that style for so long.

Looking forward to sound clips!

 

any word on when this will be available?

 

Since it fits and power is good, I believe it will now be released for production in Japan... so maybe a month or two?

 

i like this exhaust better than LMS because i like traditional oval mufflers. not a fan of coffee can mufflers. Yoshi, does the stainless muffler stand out in person? or is it hidden behind the bumper? thanks

 

The muffler is not completely hidden by the bumper, I'd say only 2/3 of it is... mostly the top part. It's pretty noticeable on the road. I'll take better pictures during the day tomorrow and post those.

 

for my sake, i hope it isn't too flashy that the local police will give me trouble. show off some day pics, i know a lot of people on this board will appreciate it. congratulations on your new exhaust.

 

Looks awesome

 

exhaust looks sporty yet classy at the same time... definately nice pickup.... Im definately not feeling the "Civic TypeR" styled Tanabe sticker on the trunk lid though... this is a Lexus we're driving after all... not a Dodge Neon...
