for me to like tanabe is a big thing... i've never liked tanabe products in recent history... but whe i bough tthis car i looked at how all the exhausts looked and heard many many sound clips b4 i ever boght one and i feel i did the best thing.. for the money and quality i feel i made an A+ on my research

 

Bet you Carson-Tuned will last longer, not rot as quickly. Maybe you West Coast boys don't shiv-a-git about that, but I sure do. Looks to me like the Carson is a better grade of stainless, but haven't seen them in person, so not sure. If it were me, I'd go with the better quality one (whichever one you decide that is), regardless of sound, since they both probably sound good, but different.

 

carson tuned

 

Apexi WS2 Exhaust just installed this morning.

 

You kidding me? You took off Blitz and put on Apexi?

 

i know..... i'm in the process of writing a review..... i'll update you all.....

 

Carson Tuned for me—nice sound, not too loud, Opening is perfect, not too big like those canister type that you see on Ricers, and the quality is unmatched...

 

I have the Tanabe and am very happy with it. I like the carson also, just like the look of the Tanabe better.

 

We have both the Tanabe and CarsonTuned in stock, your choice!

 

wow is that right mr steve ganz because i was told the tanabe medallions were not in stock and i was told this yesterday by Luis because I messaged him about it. well its nice to know you have both the tanabe and carson in stock. I gotta get back to work but i'll be deciding which to go with.

 

That Carson-Tuned exhaust looks absolutely awesome on the GS. Not that you make a habit of staring under your car, but the build quality looks excellent, and you can see how polished the stainless is all the way up to the cat.

 

I think ken (LXOGOOD) has had both exhausts. I would ask him before you make your choice. I dont think any of the members who have posted, have had both. I could tell you that I have the Tanabe, and that it is a great exhaust, but I have never had the the carson tuned.............

 

I think that was my post you were looking for aznxguy, I couldn't find that Tanabe SMH in stock anywhere (including ebay for whoever mentioned they're going for cheap there), and now I'm kind of glad I couldn't find it because I might be able to get the Touring Medalion from Steve for just a bit more than I was gonna pay for the SMH. I can't speak on the Carson Tuned except to say the price was (sadly) out of my range.
