Default Tanabe Medalion Touring

Does anybody on here have the tanabe touring catback exhaust for their gs4? I'm wondering how it sounds and is it loud? I looked through the exhaust thread but the one video with tanabe on a gs4(before the headers) to me it didnt sound too good or loud, well not good enough to drop $900 on. Maybe it was just poor sound quality on the camera, I dont know.

So does anyone on here have a gs400 with tanabe touring, and I really just want to know, does it sound good? I want my gs to sound scary

If you wants "scary" look away this exhaust on my gs3 is very subtle and just a tad bit louder than a g35 w a straight pipe.

It has a very refined controled tone that is pretty loud at WOT UNDER LOAD but not so much just revving it in a driveway.. It sounds very nice, and looks great on the car, but if you want racecar loud all the time you absolutely need something else.

Look around websites. Looking for exhaust also but found in the 800.00 range. Food for thought.

@ AM21GS400, did you decide against TopSpeed exhaust?

Yeah, I actually finaly made my decision, I'm going to go with the borla rear sections, all the videos I've seen of this sound pretty good. I'm going to start with just putting on the rear sections and If I want it to get louder i'll start taking out resonators.

I'll post pictures and vidoes once I get it all in, I'm ordering them tonight.
