That's what i'm talking about, this is clean looking exhaust, like i said in my other post: Tanabe HM is one of the best "sound and look" exhaust's EVER.

This is my personal opinion

Any body have the Tanabe Super Medalion Touring exhaust system?

It's fairly new and supposed to be less than 93db and little if any interior 'drone'. It appears to cost more than the Super Medalion Hyper verison. It has a nice two-piece angled tip that looks more 'robust' than the single-piece tip.

It's on the Tanable web site and is being sold by a few retailers. There is an eBay listing for one right now.
