I have a Tanabe Medallion exhaust on my 350 and I am looking to replace it with something that is A LOT quieter, but with respectable hp gains. I plan to install a new audio system (with 2 JL Audio amps) and I want to enjoy the music without having the volume **** buried.

I do have headers and Crawford hi-flow cats, but this very throaty exhaust existed while the stock cats were still on.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

 

I have a tanabe Hyper Medallion on my car and the noise level isn't bad at all, i'm thinking the rest of the exhaust may be your problem. You could try the OEM exhaust off of a Nismo, but I don't know power-wise if it's worse than the Tanbe stuff.

 

I may have to look into that. I should have been more specific as to which brand of Tanabe I have. It is the Racing Super Medalion.

Maybe that helps a bit more to answer my question? I was looking through the threads and noticed the Tanabe Touring. That seemed to be quite a bit quieter when I listened to the sound clips.

 

anything Greddy ummm Nismo will be a little more tame. Thats all i got bc iv always had pretty loud exhaust

 

I see that you mentioned Greddy. I was looking at the Greddy SE Spectrum Elite, but will the existing mid pipe work with this muffler?

Thanks again!

 

How loud is this exhaust?? And hows the drone?? Theres a guy selling one local here and im debating if i should get it or not, i use to have a topspeed pro1 n1 and it was very annoying with my hfc's and xyz. Would u recommend it??

 

i thought greddy spectrum was cat back or at least y pipe back right? Or is it just a muffler? And person who posted above asking about sound trust me it will not be as loud the pro-1. Thats one of the loudest exhaust u can buy

 

Nvm look at this thread

https://my350z.com/forum/intake-exha...rum-elite.html

I say dont get it. Maybe a Evo2 exhaust i have had that before and very tame and quiet unless under load. And maybe look at the Greddy SP2

 

The sound level really increases between 2-3K RPM. The youngsters enjoy it, but I can't even have a conversation in the car. LOL! And I only drive the car during the nice months and now I can't stand it.

Drone? Yes....there is a drone. Reading the other threads, I may look at an Evo2. I can post some pictures of the mufflers and you can then see as to why the noise level is very droning.

edit: But I still like the Greddy SE!

 

if he has Pro-1 he is use to drone. Owned it once and yea it sounded great but i couldnt listen to my radio or hear my gf ***** and complain lol. I say look into Evo2 and def SP2. I have been reading over the spectrum thread and imo i say its def not worth it

 

the greddy elite is the replacement for the sp2. they are both just shiny $700 mufflers.

 

ah man how do u think i could eliminate drone, the guy gave me a great price on it so ima get it, its in mint condition so its kool i could work to some how try to take the drone away i dont mind the loudness just drone.
