Default Looking For Help !Which one is which?

I am looking for the build of my favorite exhaust sound. I saw this video on youtube and i love that white IS sounds. Can anyone know what should i get to have that sound on my IS?

Thanks guys

I think he got other midpipe too. But how can you sure it's the Greddy exhaust?

the GReddy SP Elite has the burnt/discolored exhaust tips.

the Tanabe Medallion Touring does not.

it looks like the white car has the Tanabe system, while the black car has the GReddy system.

personally, they both sound the same. not sure how others can actually distinguish one from the other just based on idle and a few revs - especially w/ a youtube vid that compresses recorded sound.

actually se (spectrum elite) has burnt tips, and sp elite has polished tips

but in this case ya the white got tanabe and black got se

maybe it's my monitor but hard to tell the blue on the black

Seems that you have that 2 exhaust on your car before. Which of them have a higher pitch? Or does either one is louder?

It may be hard for people to hear that are not musicians, the "note" of the black is lower then the white. Also sounds a little richer to me.

It would be great if at a club meet someone could line up all of the different exhaust systems and get a recording of all of them for comparison.

Thanks for the video!

My GReddy was the evo3, not the se or Sp elite

Also I didn't have a midpipe with the Tanabe

tanabe medallion touring with a midpipe which i believe is invidia since it sounds a little raspy at higher rpm (just a guess)

youtube videos are not accurate in sound so even with a midpipe your car won't sound the same as the video
