My new Tanabe Medallion Exhaust
Quieter than I expected, which is a good thing since I'm just going for looks. Even better, I also gained power. I noticed an increase in torque, especially at take off. Very deep at low RPM, but not annoying - yet pleasant to the ears. 
Throaty at RPM under 2k when gassed, otherwise it's very quiet. Anything aboe 2k RPM can barely be heard - which again is a plus. Overall, a high quality exhaust for the money.

From your description they sound almost perfect, personally I think they're just a little over exposed. Like the one of the other posters stated, could stand to be tucked up a little more.

That's the reason I debadged it, for the chrome trunk bar - otherwise it'll look too messy IMO. Also I keep the stock bumper to show off those chrome oval bellies.

Also, it's a perfect fit into the bumper cut outs for the exhaust tips. There's about 1/2" space around the cut outs and the exhaust tips. Any closer and my bumper will melt off. 
Here's a closer look at how much is tucks in...
