Is Tanabe going to offer this application for the Fit Sport here in the US?
Yes I spoke to Tanabe USA last week and they are going to be making the Medallion Touring muffler for the Fit within the next month or so but it will only be an axle back not a full catback.
Unfortunately, an adapter is simply a temporary fix that can lead to larger problems down the road. Many other companies may just make adapters, but we will be making a completely new system.
If you put an extension adapter on the exhaust, it will put the exhaust system welds and hangars under abnormal stress from being pushed outwards, which can be exacerbated when they heat up, especially if the muffler is bottomed out.
Poor fitment is often the cause of broken welds, and broken welds are not things that are associated with Tanabe products
When we tested on the Sport Package Fit for the Medalion Touring, the system sat far too back, which would melt the bumper.
