Default Tanabe Exhaust

Hi guys, recently I've been doing research in buying the Tanabe Medallion Touring exhaust for my is250 awd. I noticed that different websites have a different price, but the difference is by a lot. Some of the ask for $560.00 and some go to as high as $780.00. I wonder if there's some different in quality because I heard that some could be oversea knock-offs. For those who have Tanabe exhaust, please give me some advices and tell me where did you guys buy your tanabe exhaust.

Here are two example of the difference in price:

Thanks!

they are the same! You can just get a better deal at some places. the prices where also raised on these not to long ago so if they had them in stock prior to the price increase they have more room to play

just get it they will be the same and its a great exhaust for the IS!

Rican219, you sold you car? I remember couple weeks ago you were showing videos of your car with a newly installed f-sport intake. What made you do that?

How is your exhaust holding up after a year? Does it still keeping it shine? The reason I'm asking because I just had my on couple days ago but the tips getting dirty really fast.
