odd, these were/are my same 2 choices as well.
i heard the blitz is overall better. to me, the blitz looks more aggressive, while the tanabe has a more luxury look.

sound wise, i heard the blitz is nice (not too loud, not too quiet when you get on her), while the tanabe is fairly quiet.

I have the Blitz and my brother has the Tanabe. I like both of them. I was kind of disappointed that the Blitz was only axle back but once it was installed I didn't care anymore. The sound is exactly what I wanted.

Go with the Tanabe and a header back exhaust upgrade. Love the extra power the easy flow makes.

NOt yet, but you can feel the difference. At about 4k rpm it is like the car has found its second wind. B/f it was slugish after the max torque, but now it pulls clean through 5k rpm. Havn't put the intake on yet, but I am guessing I will be extremely satisfied having equal air in as I have out.
