Default UPDATE:Finally got my exhausts put on! Vids added!

I finally got my Medallion Touring on and I gotta say it looks hella sweet. Only prob is that i noticed my driver side is hanging a little lower and it's sticking out 1/2 inch further out than the passengers. I read in another post about similar issues but it wasn't with Tanabe exhaust or I could be wrong. I can't find the other thread. Anyone else have fitment issues with this?

Btw, if any of you are in so cal, I got these from Fast Autoworks located in Arcadia for a decent price installed! PM me for more info.

UPDATE: Vids posted on youtube

I have the K&N intake along with the Medallion Touring

Before SS headers

After SS headers

I love the new sound. Sounds a bit throatier.

Very nice...that exhaust wasn't out yet when I bought my Borlas. Yours, Carson Tuned and the Apexi WS2 are my favorites...How's the sound?

Here is the back view.

After listening to clips of other exhaust, I liked this one the best. I certainly wasn't disappointed when these were put on. Smooth is all I can say. The first day I had it on, I was concerned because it felt loud but then it was because I never had an exhaust but now I love it.

I am not sure if you can see but the driver's side hangs a but lower.

Use zip ties to tighten up that drivers side can! Trust me it works and no one will notice (a 2 second fix).

looks sweet and accents your car color nicely.
i dont think many really notice a 1/2 inch lower on drivers side. but if you must, take it back and have your shop align it better! eithe way, still looking good!

I've had problems with my HKS passenger sticking out like an inch further than the driver side... I'm going to have the piping redone so it's even...
