Touring Medallion Owners...

Sell me on it. Well, I'm basically sold on it, I just need a little nudge to actually go forward with it. At one point in time I had the T1R 50sc (i think thats the right lettering), and I absolutely hated the droaning on the higway. My drive to work is about a 30 minute trip, and I don't mind noise, but the higher pitched droan wasn't for me. This seems to be relatively quiet, yet... full. Of the videos I've seen on the tube, I don't really hear a droan. Am I correct with this assumption? Any other points that I should be made aware of?

Thanks!

It's really quiet. There's no drones at all. I have a vid of it on youtube, though it has a lot of wind noise. I swapped a Greddy Ti-C for a Touring Medalion for the lady and she loves it. Performance wise it's better than the Ti-C imo (butt dyno), it's more responsive, better low end torque and it gets better mpg than when we had the Ti-C on. If it's just the axleback it'll be quiet, but if you have an aftermarket midpipe or w/e it'll bring out the sound much more and will be much louder.

I like mine very much too!
No rice!
Has nice deep tone for driving around town, And remains a nice full tone while having controlled RPM readings on the highway.
The bbbwwwaaattt from vtech is well pronounced with this one.
Also, low end power increase is noticeable off the line.
I just have the axle back for now, partnered with a Takeda CAI for added volume and push.
I can pretty much guarantee you will not be dissapointed with this exhaust.
Plus it sits hella flush with room to breathe when installed.

been contemplating on whether I want to get this exhaust or not..does anyone who owns this exhaust notice any mpg increase or decrease? I drive about 80% highway and 20% city. I keep it between 65-70 on the freeway..I rarely gun it.
