Default Finally installed My Tanabe Super Medallion Racing exhaust!

First off I'll say that I will update the thread with pics and sound clips hopefully pretty soon (this weekend?)

Sound - Holy shiet I wasnt expecting what I heard when I stomped on the gas. Each gear screams with a certain throatiness that IMO is incredible. I have heard other exhausts in person and by far this is possibly my favorite. Also its not too loud either which was a plus in my book. Also I do not have the diffusers in.

Power - Well most of the exhausts arent having too much of a bug gain with the Z but anything is "something". The car does feel faster say after 4,000 rpms and just feels to flow better and the butt dyno is a happy camper.

Look and Quality - Wow I was very impressed by the exhaust and the clean welds and good construction. The logos on the cans and entire design is very nice and straightforward.

Overall - I couldnt be happier with the Tanabe exhaust

Big Thanks to Mike Riveria at Ultima Technik in New York

I had it on my car for a week...I honestly hated it, more than any other exhaust I have ever done on any car. Was WAY too loud without the silencers in, sounded much nicer with them installed, but still sounded odd to me. I was not crazy about the looks myself (looked very "universal look" once installed on the car, as it toally clashed with teh cars rear lines, but looks are a really subjective thing anyway).

While I am waiting for my new exhaust to arrive 9won't be here till around February, as they are just about to go into production), I got an apex'i JDM spec unit - midly louder than stock, looks great (single muffler with dual tips, which I personally prefer the look of). Only downside was having to slighly trim one bracket in the rear (it occassionally rubbed on the exhaust piping), but I am much happier overall.

Have you heard the Injen Adam? Its WAY louder. And to me this exhaust isnt that bad, because Im use to running loud exhausts on my old 3 series Bmw.

I love it.
