Tanabe Medalion Touring ... smooth and subtle. They won't here you coming 2 miles away, but they will take notice when you "arrive" in your Lexus.

RMM exhaust. Love the sound. Not too loud, just loud enough.

I have the borla too. They aren't loud like some of the exhausts here. Nice grown when you get on it, but OEM quiet when you're cruising.

What made me buy them was the fact that it looks classy. I am not a fan of big tips that stick out and such. The borla looks like they were made to fit the bumper of the GS.

My only complaint is that it doesn't sound deep enough, but I'm sure if I remove the resonators, it'll help out.

Carson Tuned Exhaust. . . Great sound. . . No noise while cruising. . . Felt a difference on high end

L-Tuned and loving it. Possibly a little too mild sounding for most here, but I prefer it that way.

Tanabe touring medallion, sounds nice and deep. Hardly hear the car running at idle and cruising on the highway but wakes up when you nail it, especially under boost

i almost took mine off, it sound just like stock. i removed the resonators and it sounds good now. adding headers made it a little better and i agree with you, it is not a civic and i refuse to put civic exhaust on it

The touring medallion is a good choice, it's not as loud as other exhausts but it a little luder than ltuned/borla etc... I have heard almost all of the Gs exhausts and I couldnt be more happy with my Tanabe. The touring medallion sounds nothing like the Hyper medallion. Hyper medallion is loud, Touring medallion is not too loud but smooth and refined.

I agree. I run the touring also and i love it. Sounds great and it adds a lot of horsepower.
