they definitely look better than the HFP muffler (that huge gap between
the valance and canister is too much on the HFP) and from the bits
i heard on youtube the touring medalion sounds great. i mentioned
somewhere before, but it almost sounds british. very clean tone.

as far as appearance though, i think my megan looks better with its
dual tips and factory-like finish. the angle of the canister and how
the tip comes out the back looks perfect from the side.

if you go the the 'show me your exhausts' thread, there is a few pics of it.

personally i don't like it. I love dual tips, but the tips on the megan stick out way to far.

+1. that's wat i did.

i really like the sound of the touring medallion though. megan looks great
but just sounds like some cheap-ass universal muffler like arospeed or
something.

wat i should do is cut the pipe and get a remus can welded on.

nono, im not going to spend that kind of money on this car. defeats the
purpose.

i agree somewat about the long outlets...but at the same time if that
was short it would just look like a generic factory muffler.

the thing i like is to have a aftermarket part that is slightly more
aggressive looking than just factory finish. and i think megan delivers
that well.
