Default Tanabe Hyper?

Hello everyone,

I had a question pertaining to the loudness of the Tanabe Hyper Medallion exhaust system. Though I know the GS 300 and 400 sounds different with the application on, has anyone personally heard it on a 300? Can any one describe the characteristics of the sounds of the system?

I'm in the market for an exhaust, but like to have something "quiet" if at all possible.

Thanks.

James

I had it on my GS300...it is very quiet, though you will still hear a droning at the 2K RPM mark...otherwise it is very nice...and excellent build quality.

No matter what you go with you will have the droning at 2K RPM.

Hey Fellow Trojan (assuming you also went to USC).

Does the droning continue on past 2K? Everyone keeps saying something about droning. Is this something that is spread out throughout the RPM spectrum or just at a certain point?
