Default Tanabe Medallion Touring Exhaust (Pics/Vid)

Just wanted to let you guys see pics and a vid of the prototype Tanabe Medallion Touring exhaust (axle back) on my RCF. From what I was told, this will be available closer to the end of the year, maybe Dec 2015/Jan 2016. The cost is TBD. It gained 5 hp and 10 lbs of tq over stock. This exhaust does not replace the secondary cat.

Although 5hp/10-11tq over stock isn't a huge gain like the Apexi N1X or other full catbacks, as I was leaving Tanabe, I could feel the bottom end gain. It is a bit more responsive, the sound is great, and it's not droning. It's nice, low rumble, nothing too crazy sounding and loud. Overall, I really like the axle back.

Here are some pics and a vid.

Enjoy!

Thanks! If you're interested, I may be selling them soon. I'm looking into getting new wheels.

Those Advans look sweet!! I think I know what you're looking to change to . Nice axle back too. Tanabe makes quality stuff! The burnt tips on the Apexi would look awesome with the orange paint! Car looks great buddy.
