It all comes down to you. Cause it depends what sound your trying to get from each exhaust. Plus there axle back exhaust only not catback.

I have the Tanabe and it is a well built exhaust. Could use a midpipe though.

Both Tanabe and Invidia make a mid pipe that you can bolt up to an axle back exhaust.

All of the tanabe's I saw on Ebay were just axle backs. Just going off of the pictures.

All of the invidias were also axle backs in the pictures, except one invidia that had an actual cat back pictured. Those prices you posted are high for just an axle back. So who knows. Just make sure you check with the seller before you buy to make sure. Axle back is 2 mufflers and a short pipe. Cat back will be two mufflers and the short pipe, along with a longer pipe going to the cats....should have a resonator as well on the long pipe.

To confuse you more.....why not check out the Greddy Exhaust.

Hi all,
My first post. Yea!

I am a total NOOB, so please excuse any ignorance.

Why are you wanting to replace your Tanabe with the Fsport? What is it you are looking for?

I am considering the Tanabe, but don't yet know the differences.

Thanks!
