Default Tanabe Exhaust!

Here's my LS with Tanabe Medalion Touring exhaust.i bought an Tanabe cat back exhaust system from my friend who has a IS350.so basically i just bought it for the rear mufflers.and i had a shop (1320 Performance) weld them on for me.the sound is really nice,deep and and very subtle.oh and not loud at all.now all i need is an intake to make it sound more beefy.big thanks goes out to 1320 Performance,Matt,Chad,Russ,Ross and Avery!




and whats better than pictures when it comes to exhaust upgrades?VIDEO of course!go here for the sound check....................http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sy_PQZO7y74

Maybe i just don't get it.. You buy the quietest car on the road... and then go messing around with the exhaust to get a throaty sound?? What am I missing??

I thought it great when was at a truck dealer and we could not tell that the LS was running from either sound or feel... Wife had the AC going full blast inside, so it was running.

^^ I know what you're missing. Last week i parked near A8 W12 and got to talk to the owner. He complimented me on how quite my LS was but than when he got in his car one push of a button brought the W12 beast to life. I got goose pumps.

everyone has their own taste/style in cars.and to us car enthusiats,we cant leave anything stock.our cars must have some moddifications to it to make us happy.and my exhaust isnt even loud at all.and from the inside you can barely hear.to each their own.
