I was wondering if any of you RCF owners have installed the Tanabe exhaust?? Thinking about purchasing.. But I couldn't really tell the difference in the sound compared to the stock exhaust??


Thanks
Sherry

 

I had it on my RCF. It is much louder than stock.

 

Its really hard to tell on Youtube.. Does it have a nice growl??

 

I liked it, what I didn’t like is the drone on highway speeds, but you will get drone with any aftermarket set up.

 

Ok thank you so much for the info. It isn’t as loud as a Borla is it?

That is not correct. Depends on the design and construction/quality of the exhaust. Invidia is a full catback exhaust and it has no drone at all at highway speeds.

 

We will get you a good deal on the Tanabe axle back, we have 2 left in stock.

Contact us for pricing!

My Borla doesnt have drone, when driving you can hear it's a v8 but no drone. when you floor it, it comes alive. love it!

 

I had the Tanabe exhaust on my IS-F and it was much brawnier in tone than my Invidia Exhaust on my RC-F. I wish I could get my RCF to sound like my ISF did.

 

I have a Tanabe on my RCF and I don't think it drones at all. I also like the sound when you get on it. It turns heads.

 

There is drone. I’m really surprised by all these comments saying no one has drone.

 

I cannot speak for anyone else (or non-Invidia exhausts), but should I make a video of me driving in 7th or 8th gear on the highway?

 

^^^^The drone is not speed related, it's RPM related. If it happens, it happens between 1800 and 2100 RPM.

Yeah, I understand. That is why I said 7th or 8th gear as most of the time cruising on highway, it is around 1800 - 2100 rpm in the tallest gear. I never hear any droning/bassy noise/resonance on highway speeds.

 

When the RCF with the Borla exhaust is floored (especially in M Sports+ in the right gear with rpm's above 4K) people hear you and most will get out of your way. Just don't do it near schools and parks with children nearby bc it will scare them!!!

Most of the time during high speed highway cruising, there is no drone. HOWEVER, I guess if you are in that 1800 or so rpm, you MAY temporary hear something. I don't cruise around in that rpm range. So the so called "drone" may only happen for a second as I rev way higher pass that and onto the next gear. In top 8th gear, there is no drone.
