Before with stock and after with the Tanabe Medalion quad tip RC axleback.

Damn, looks dope man. Love how that cars rear end looks. Basically my plan of attack is to dremmel out the OEM diffuser (2016 so its pretty much just a solid panel). The Invidia q300 has the angled quad tips so my worry with aftermarket diffusers is they're not designed for angled quad tips which leaves you with a fat gap. But thanks for the pics, I'll send some in post install.

Default Just do it.

Anyone wondering, rc (non rcf) fits perfectly. Tanabe t70181A easy swap. Muffler rubber hangers will shift outward slightly. Other than that no issues.

Left stock, right Tanabe. 👍

First on my IS (perfect sound but drones a little when it's fully warmed up) paired with PPE headers + Ark Grip midpipe



Now on my RC (deeper sound) Stock manifold and midipe
