2 days and loving every minute of it.

- Why you bought them
I wanted something quiet and sound is under 93 decibels, plus it was made specifically for the Fit.

- What you think of the product
Top notch quality and a rather easy install, only took about 1 hour total.

- What you think of the sound
Fairly quiet, it only makes noticeable noise at idle and in the low rpm range.

So everyone, after several months with this exhaust has it gotten louder? Or has the sound remained the same?

Are there any plans to develop a b-pipe for this and the Concept g? That would offer those of us who love Tanabe a full cat back option. Thanks.

I aslo have the same question. I had it on for a week, personally i like the sound. But I just dont like the look of the canister hanging down so low. I thought it would be tucked in just like the picture.
