does anybody hae tanabe for an exhaust if so what kind do you have and how do you like it?

 

i have had a Tanabe Super Medalion Hyper on my CRX in the past, and it was AWESOME. it wasnt loud and obnoxious, and sounded awesome.

But for my MR, im still stuck with my decision..
Evo2
APS 3.5"
HKS CarbonTi
Tanabe Medalion touring

im not so sure i want the salad shooter look anymore so im in the process of ruling out all but the medalion touring.

i called tanabe usa the other day and they said they should have some in stock by the 19th!

i found some clips on the tanabe website:

the other exhausts arent exactly ruled out, but im leaning towards the tanabe as of yet.

 

i have th concept g blue , love it!

 

i have a tanabe DP on ... i will be selling it shortly if you are interested. it has the egt bung in it. i am getting a buschur dp to go with my intercooler so i need to get rid of it... i will let it go relatively cheap. PM me if you are interested. It is on my WW IX.

but to comment, throttle response seemed almost instant after i put it on

 

i finally put in my order for the Medalion touring yesterday.. i cant wait!

stikiller, how was the fitment on the g blue? is it loud?

 

anyone know where i could find clips/pics of the tanabe medalion hyper?? i have heard it on other cars inthe past, and like the low grumble and the fact that it isnt a high pitched ricey scream..

anyone?

 

I have the Tanabe Super Medalion, it's not too loud and it's quite light. However, it seems a bit small hiding under the USDM back bumper.

 

yea ive heard the medalion hyper in the past and i was impressed. the fit and finish of it was awesome. it had great tone man.

 

It looks like all of the Tanabe exhausts are really tucked inside the bumper. How does the location of the tip compare to stock? It looks in the pictures like it's further inside the bumper than stock, but it's hard to tell.

 

i've always loved the sound, look and craftsmanship of tanabe. the one that i like the most was the g-power medalion. it some how looks great on hondas and acuras....jdmish... haha.

 

haha thats true.
The concept G actually makes a lot of power. in the new Import Tuner they did a powerpages on a WRX, it made around 30 wheel with just the concept g blue turboback.
it should make a lot more power for our cars..

 

Then they'd fit pretty well if you had a JDM rear bumper

 

hks-mr

Yes, many people still ask about the G Power. It was one of our most famous exhausts from the 90's. :thumbsup:

All of the new Tanabe exhaust systems were designed and tested on US vehicles, so they conform to US spec bumpers. The picture of our exhaust of the medalion touring installed on our site is on someone who has a veilside kit.

Here's a picture of the Concept G Blue installed:


They don't stick out of the bumper, nor are they too far inside the bumper-- they are more flush along the lines of US bumpers. You can see it better in the attached photos of the rear bumper's profile, to get a better idea of how they will sit on your car.

 

Looks awesome! any other pics of the Touring?

 

i can't wait to get my hands on the Medalion Touring...i placed my order back in March
