Ok so as you know i found out that the SMH is discontinued,, so now im looking into the Touring. How much quieter is the touring? How bout with out resos? Its a full catback right (mufflers - y pipe) so i just need the resos removed off the B pipe right?

Also if later down the road i dont like the tips new ones can be welded on by a good exhaust shop right?

Thanks in advance!

P.S. If any vendors have any SMH by some miracle let me know !

search youtube for gs300 exhaust. there is a video actually from tanabe, both inside the car and out with sound clips. expect the sound to be a bit louder and raspy on the outside without the resonators, and a little more drone inside the cabin without the resonators.

Huh. I find it interesting that you like the hyper more than the medallion. The Medallion is a little quieter than the hyper but not by much. I have the hyper but I was looking for the medallion for a long time.
