Arrow 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

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

Let me know what you think..

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 ), 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!!

Thanks everyone

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.

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
