Default Tanabe r-d

Just picked up my car from Tanabe...installed cat back exhaust (single tips) and undercarriage tie. It's taking me some time to get use to single tips, but now I like it. Added 20+ torq and 10+ hp. You can feel the diff even out of sport mode. Pics to follow shortly.

Good to hear! Maybe all the members/haters in here who all but flamed Tanabe to death after their thread about producing an exhaust will have a change of heart

My driving sound is much improved...a little louder and deeper but not irratating! Definately a good thing.

My main goal is to increase power with little take away from comfort. Hat's off to Tanabe...I'm a believer.

Please do post your before/after dyno. I am a also having a hard time imagining how single tips in place of the quad resonators in the bumper could look descent. So yeah as others have said lets see some pictures or
