Default GS430-Tanabe Exhaust Installed (new sound clip)

So this morning I had the exhaust installed. I can't tell the difference inside of the cabin but can definitely hear the growl from the outside when I punch it. The tips didn't extend far enough so I had the exhaust extended to push the tips out a little more. I love it.

Correction: You can hear the difference from inside the cabin, with the radio off (lol). It might just be me but the bass in the stereo also sound deeper, hmmmmmm


Here is a sound clip:

I was gonna post in your earlier thread, a Tanabe Medalion exhaust would fill out your body kit so nicely, but looks like you beat it to me! Car looks killer now

^ he posted a you tube clip, just click on it.

sounds good 1stlxs, was debating what exhaust to get, it sounds very mellow and quiet. Have you noticed any droning yet in the cabin?

Thanks Chris, no not at all. That was the first thing I was trying to hear since I have heard other complain about the droning. It sounded the same to me as the OEM until you get out of the car or roll your window down. I like it

Thanks Mesca, I thought the same thing when I first got the Kit and purchased this from a member here who purchased it from IA8BMR (Tammer). I actually was supposed to have it installed the same day I picked up the car but my cousin was booked and I didn't want to wait on posting pics so I started the first thread with the body kit and then this.

Thanks Chancellor,
I did have to extend the pipe at the Cat almost 2 inches to get that look or you wouldn't have seen the tips.
