Default Tanabe Medalion Touring Exhaust Coming Out In May!

okay, so i just checked out the tanabe website and FINALLY they have a price on their long awaited medalions for the sc300 and 400, plus a release time. the sc300's release is due in may, while the sc400's release time is not final, but noted release in spring. I CANT WAIT UNTIL IT COMES OUT IN MAY!!! the price isnt so bad either..$740 for both. im definitely going to grab these when they come out. ive been waiting for sooo long! now time to save up!

Is this a catback or axle-back exhaust?

I just took a look at the tanabe web site and the exhaust DOES look pretty clean from behind.

There's one on YouTube with a Medallion exhaust. It sounds very cool. Perhaps he just has the mufflers?

If so, I would consider doing that. I just want my car slightly louder than stock.

i'm guessing it's just an axleback. I remember hearing about the testing for it. Plus the part number for the SC300 and SC400 are the same on the website. and I'm pretty sure thier oem catbacks are not the same. Looks good , but I think the price is a lil steep. Kinda sucks cause they know that no one makes a reasonably priced axle back for our car, that they can charge that much.

oh thats true . I'm not saying its rediculous. I've seen what the jdm exhausts go for. Oh well maybe one day I'd drop that kinda cash for something so sweet.

Thats kinda pricey for a tiny exhaust. I guess thats the price to pay if you want to stay with duals

i cant wait! so it should be coming out next month! i am definitely on it once it comes out. seems that most stores are gonna sell it for around $600. so it shouldnt be so bad at all. thats like a whole tax refund check plus a little more.
