Hfit, for pricing, please feel free to ask any of the FitFreak vendors that carry our products, such as Aspec, etc etc. We are still pending announcement on MSRP on these parts.
The Tower Bar and Underbrace will sell at the standard prices.

This is great to hear. With the uncertainty about fitment of Japanese Springs/Coilovers/Shocks, and given their importance in performance and safety, I think it's important for Tanabe to develop parts specifically for the US market Fit. Glad to hear, and I'm looking forward to using these.

All of our products are tested here in our Southern California HQ/R&D Facility prior to release.
Many other companies simply bring in their parts from Japan without doing any R&D or fitment tests.
Sometimes it takes us a little longer to release parts for cars because every part we release has been rigorously tested and developed to function flawlessly.
The new Tanabe exhaust systems still have that very low, deep tone associated with our very popular G Power and Racing Medalion systems of the 1990's. Tanabe Co. Ltd Japan, and our products have matured quite a bit since our beginnings in the 1980's. Our new exhaust systems operate well under 93db, without sacrificing flow efficiency. The new Tanabe exhaust systems use a very different type of packing material.
The all new Concept G and the Medalion Touring are well under 93db, without needing any type of removable baffle.
We have many quiet systems now, the SM Hyper, which has always been fairly quiet, and the new Concept G and Medalion Touring. The Medalion Touring is the quietest exhaust we currently offer and is one of our best sellers, especially among the Lexus community.
DF210 will be available for the Fit, as well as the performance oriented GF210. We are aiming to have these released during Summer '06, but we want to make sure every aspect of the fitment and function is correct. If the product has our name on it, we want to be sure that it is the best possible product.
We're not just for Hondas anymore, but we never forget our roots
