Tanabe Medallion Touring - Installed
 
Ok so got it a couple days ago and installed. Heres a link to the video as well as a failed attempt to upload pictures. Sorry for the tiny pics and dimension on them. You can click still click on them to see the imageshack page. I cant figure out how to get them to load like normal though :confused:

Anywho, I love this exhaust. Perfect low tone. Not too loud. Minimal highway drone (which I enjoy anyway).

Let me know what you think..

where did you pick it up? how long did it take to arrive? was the price good? and hows the sound/worth it? THANKS!! this is my #1 exhaust choice

kevinkidstar138 06-14-2010 10:56 AM

nvrmnd on the sound haha, didnt see the youtube clip it sounds awesome

DatFIT 06-14-2010 12:59 PM

Perfect man.. I love how they look pretty flush on the fender. Which is nice. Awesome sound also.

I talked to Tanabe and they said they're available right now i believe...

I bought mine on Upscaleautomotive.com. They have some really well priced stuff. msrp on this is like 450, i got mine for around 350 shipped. And only took like 4 buisness days to get here!
I love it. Its been a week and it has had time to break in. Its a little bit louder now. It just makes the car audible. Nothing to make people turn their heads(unless you get on it :vtec:), but its a clean sound, low grumble. Im pretty sure its a quiter than the HKS, or Greddy or T1R so its perfect for what I want. I love it and thought it was definitely worth it!! :D

Thanks everyone

did you do the install....is it as easy as the GD axlebacks, 2 bolts then slide the hooks out?

Well my buddy pretty much did it. But yes, we jacked the rear right side up, took the wheel off. 2 bolts, slid the hooks out, bam.. muffler off.

It was even easier to put the new one on. easy diy. 1 person can do it in 10-15 min really.

kevinkidstar138 06-15-2010 07:33 PM

ya it only took me about 20 mins to do it on my 07, helpfully hint to anyone reading this wd-40 the hangers before you unbolt, let it soak in makes instal 100000000 times smoother, glad to hear its the same install

Nice Exhaust!

I just ordered mine from Upscaleautomotive today. Cant wait! Nice work!

somaFIT 06-05-2011 07:47 PM

:) Thinking about this one...

bunz559 09-08-2011 05:06 AM

i like the flush, clean and stock look... i dislike the drone though. thumbs up!

Scala 01-17-2012 11:59 PM

Does the GD tanabe medallion bolt on right on the GE?

Clownfyre 05-25-2013 03:54 AM

Just got mine yesterday but need to break it in. I mostly hear my CAI lol.

Roseda91 06-09-2013 12:27 PM

That looks awesome...makes me regret getting rid of my fit :(

fitzeek 06-11-2013 06:29 PM

Fitment looks on point. Congrats on the purchase.

BumbleBeeee 06-12-2013 05:25 PM

Still in stock, I got mine from Amazon.

Waiz 06-30-2013 08:54 PM

I just got one for my GE, made a short video for it too


zilla8 07-01-2013 09:35 PM

07fit916 07-04-2013 03:18 PM


put mine on a couple weeks ago.

Clownfyre 07-17-2013 07:10 AM

Put mine a couple months ago. Been breaking it in so I can do a take off vid. Had a video of it before but could mostly hear the CAI.

Nearly one month update-

I am really enjoying this exhaust and just recently gave it a light cleaning and it really stayed shiny after a month of daily use

This is a quality product for sure and the tone has got even better and slightly louder over time (especially when the car is warm)

Thanks to all those who posted sound clips of their exhaust :thumbups:

I'm super picky, but I think this exhaust sounds awesome. Exactly what I'm after.

Not too loud, and a nice tip that fills out the bumper cut out a bit better.

Just a quick question to those that have been running this exhaust for a while now, do you have and "popping" or backfire when you lift of the accelerator? And how is the 'raspiness' of the exhaust?

Doesn't sound like the exhaust does any of those things, but figured I'd check.

Rampo 10-08-2013 03:18 PM

No popping or backfiring on mine. Have had it for about a year now.

Nope, not on stock cats will you get that effect.

Maybe if you go test pipes, but you will never see that on stock cats with this exhaust

lowered_klass 10-09-2013 12:05 AM

Didn't think so, but figured I'd check.

Thanks guys

kenchan 10-09-2013 05:10 PM

no rasp, no pop. wish it had some pop and burble... but that's for my other car to do. :p
