Tanabe Super Medallion Hyper-Installed!

Excellent system, superb quality and attention to detail. Very lightweight, came to 10 kg at scales, stock system is 23 kg!
VERY quiet. If you use light throttle inputs your wife/girlfriend will NEVER notice it. When throttle is opened, it "screams" in very low deep tone.
I did not notice any loss of low end torque, but noticed bump in power after 3500 rpm.
Beware-aftermarket sway bar may interfere with exhaust.It depends on shape of kink above the exhaust. My Progress bar barely cleared it, tech even wanted to heat and reshape hangers to lower the exhaust, but I decided to drive it first and it seems to be OK, I will check later for any rubbing, but I did not hear any banging or scraping even over railroad tracks or speed bumps.

Looks good...update us in approximately 3 months... I'd like to know if it has gone from good to worst...quality/sound/etc. Exhaust systems seem to have that effect on me.

i got mine put on by tanabe in socal. Its a nice exhaust, they also said that the tip is too close to the bumper but i left it on and its been fine, between 3k and 4k the exhaust tone is unbelievable such a deep tone. i love it!

Nice. I just wished they made a dual tip version instead of the oversized single canister tip.

It looks like a nice exhaust for sure. I would never go with the oversized single 'pot' though, it looks too "boy racer" for me. I'm old.

looks quite a bit like my fujitsubo legalis-r, but with an even more restrictive muffler than fuji.
