Hello I just recently purchased my evo 8 and it came with a medalion catback. It doesn’t sound bad but seems a tad quiet. I’ve been looking on here for any info about it and can’t seem to find any. I’m looking for a DP and TP so I need to figure out if I’m better off removing the current exhaust or not. Whatever help or input you have is greatly appreciated
the medalion is known for being quiet but still offering good performance. Pretty much any DP/test pipe that is meant to replace factory parts should work with this cat back.
My first exhaust for the Evo was the Tanabe Medallion Touring catback . It was nice and quiet even for my standards of 1 dB over stock I consider as too loud . Once I put on a down pipe and test pipe it got louder . Not obnoxious loud but more than I like. So having said that, if it is too quiet for you now, instead replacing the catback , try it with a test pipe and or bigger down pipe .
I’m not sure about your Tanabe I believe is the Medallion Concept G . Which is a little different than the one I had, but I believe opening up the rest of the exhaust will yield the same results of louder exhaust . On the bright side , DP and TP both will help with power , so even if it’s still too quiet for you , you can still change the catback and the DP and TP would not be a waste .
