Well after much going back and forth between the 2 systems I decided on the Tanabe. Best price I have found is here:
$503.50 plus $49.95 shipping
http://www.gripmotorsports.com/pi~pn...stem-5844.html


They also have the Greddy SP2 for $585.85 plus $59.95 shipping
http://www.gripmotorsports.com/pi~pn...stem-7439.html

Mine shipped out a couple days ago.

Got the Tanabe and installed it yesterday morning. I cannot dream of putting anything louder on my car. It is a little louder but to me would kill the quality of the car. I am not bashing anyone this is my personal opinion on what I wanted as far as loudness inside the car. You can hear it but to me anything louder and I would of been disappointed. It sounds awesome and was just the right note but if I would of gone with say the Greddy would of been out of tune.

If you want more hp and sound I would go for the Greddy Exhaust. All Greddy Exhaust are all under 95db which passes the noise restriction level. The only reason why people install after mkt exhaust is because of more hp and the sound of more power. So Greddy FTW!!!

Use Carson, they are a vendor here and its 549 shipped from them also! Plus you help out our community

Greddy will be louder. HP i dont think you will feel or see the difference between the 2 IMO...If you want it to be crazy loud then Greddy is the way. If you want a nice looking exhaust and a nice subtle sound then Tanabe all the way. I have Tanabe and love it.

Contact Luis, send him a PM. I have Tanabe and it was 549 shipped. Not sure how much the Greddy is? They will work with you. Both are very nice

The Greddy is in no way "Crazy Loud". It is just a little louder then the Tanabe. The Greddy uses larger diameter tubing. The tips are just like anything else, after you look at them awhile they actually look good. When they are fitted/centered in the opening they look exactly like they were supposed to. They were fitted to the exact size/circumference of the opening. After awhile all others look too small. The slant cut/rolled tips mold to rear bumper perfectly.
