Help! New Tanabe exhaust!!!!!

Hello folks,
I am contemplating getting the new Tanabe exhaust but I would like to know if anyone has it on thier system and if they can post a soundclip or vidoe of it installed. I am not really impressed with the other exhausts I've seen out there. I like the quieter exhaust note, Greddy comes to mind for this, but there are no stainless systems that greddy makes for the EVO and Iv'e not heard great things about the HKS system as far as the quality of hangers for it. So if anyone has the New stainless Tanabe exhaust please post up if you could be so kind. The one I'm looking for is the Tanabe Super Medallion Hyper Stainless exhaust 80mm system.

Thanks,
Tim

TurboXS is the quietest exhaust out there? Surely you jest. I owned it for about 2 hours before I sold it. It was way too loud for me, especially with a baby in the car. I admit it did sound great though.

I agreee with new B. Of all the exhausts I've heard on an evo (and I've heard a few) the fujitsubo is the most quiet. I just installed a high-flow cat for another board member this past weekend. He had the fujitsubo 3" DP and exhaust with a UR high flow cat, and there was no difference from stock. And it's a nice exhaust. Extremely well built and fit was perfect.

Thanks a ton for the clip! That's exactly what I was looking for!

Is the fujitsubo a stainless or Ti system. I don't like the look of a titanium exhaust unfortunately. The blue laser cut looks unfinished to me and screams aftermarket.
Just found the exhaust section showing the clips here in the boards hehe oops ....
didn't realize we had that.
Thanks,
Tim

fujitsubo has two models, RM01A and Legalis R and both come in either ti or stainless and their titanium doesnt have a burnt tip and it is absolutely light.

New B: I see that you have the ti catback with a highflow cat. How did you weld the O2 bung? I have the rm01a on order and the wait is killing me. 2+ weeks.

Any place I can see and hear the titanium exhaust by Fujitsubo? I looked up a few sites and saw the Ti system selling for $1900 I'm looking more in the $500-$ 600 range! Is the Ti system really this much? or is the site (Z-1 automotive) grossly overcharging?

Thanks,
Tim
