the exhaust hasn't broken in yet.. i would say run it for another week or two and you'll notice that it will start to tone down

OP: A vouch is required.....please have your qualified vouch post or PM me within 24 hours.

But, I will try to help you as well in the meantime......Tanabe is actually gonna be a little louder, depending on how you feel that it's loud.

Here's my personal observations of the two (shortly after getting the exhaust):

And here's someone personal observations of going sedan Tanabe to sedan F-sport:

Would you be interested in trading the axle back portion for a Hks hi power?

The Tanabe is very tame and quiet and said by most to be much quieter than the F-Sport but exhaust sound is very subjective.

Mine toned down a lot after week 3 & I have Invidia midpipes as well.

I have a Greddy SE which is a tad louder than the tanabe and quieter than the fsport. I have polished the blue tips out of the exhaust. I am willing to trade so let me know through pm. I am also in the dallas area and Austin area very often.

Well, I haven't searched for people's reviews lately, but back in 09 when I was looking at reviews of the f-sport, I had read that the f-sport was much louder than the tanabe, and that everyone wished they had the f-sport for that reason.

But, my results didn't seem to mirror the other posts, which is why I posted that comparison originally.

The problem (At least back then) was that there were a lot of reviews of each, but none from anyone that actually went from one exhaust to another......an issue because, like you said, sound is very subjective. So, a lot of the opinions of the sound were based on what people read on the forum about another system vs what they had personally.

Done. Yeah I would recommend seeing if either
1) it tones down a bit, which, in all honestly, I almost feel like mine got a little louder now that I've put some miles on it (I've still only got 7000 miles on it though).

or 2) you get used to it
