Default Tanabe Exhaust For 97-01 COMING SOON!!!

Well, I'm sorry I've lagged on you guys, but the magazine's been taking up most of my "free" time.

Anyway, Tanabe finally got me hooked up with the exhaust for the ES300 and it should be available from your favorite vendor in the beginning of 2007. The dyno showed a 8hp and 10ft/lbs torque increase. This is just an axleback system, but the improvements are noticeable. The system is a little meaner sounding than stock, but definitely won't be disturbing the peace with its volume.

I don't have any pictures loaded yet, but I'll get some to you all by the end of the weekend. Stay tuned for the new hotness.

That's a nice exhaust. Good to see Tanabe has stepped up to the plate with an exhaust option for us ES300/Windom owners. Now just imagine how this would go with the JDM Auto Couture body kit, then you got yourself a sweet ride

Sorry Charley, but I've already sold the last exhaust I had. If anyone's interested though I do have someone than can get some for people here in the states. It's not cheap, but for those with more money than patience feel free to pm me and I'll get you more info.
