Just Installed: Tanabe MT

Loved it. I recorded the video but the sound is not that good. I shot it with Canon SD1100IS, a cheap digital camera.

I haven't recorded inside the car since it's hard to hold a camera with manual transmission.

Like everybody said, the exhaust note is very deep in low RPM. It is a clean sound not like a four banger with large exhaust. The video doesn't show that much. I might record a video again in the future once it has broken in.

Well done! Everyone was installing Tanabe Medallions when the IS first came out, it's almost rare to see a new install today!

Well because I just bought a used IS250 2 months ago. That's why I'm late for this.

Thanks! I'm too late for all this goodness (just own the car for 2 months).

I will make inside video (driving) soon. I searched youtube and there is only 1 video of IS250 (outside) with Tanabe MT installed. I figured out how to record a video inside the car. It might be working. I will post the video soon.
