Alright, I have an 03 coupe. She's breathing in good, now gotta get the exhale going. Getting ready to throw an exhaust on it. Whenever I do a major purchase I do a lot of research and i think I've about driven myself crazy listening to tons of sound clips on youtube. Got it narrowed down to these 3. Exoticspeed R1-T/PWR, Invidia Gemini and Tanabe Medallion Touring. I like the Fujitsubo also but I read thats too quiet. I know sound is subjective, but I like the deep mellow tone and not a high pitch buzz. Don't wanna rattle the crystal but I def want it louder than stock. So my question is to those that have any of these 3, how do you like your exhaust? Pros/Cons? Best bang for your buck? Thanks

 

deep, mellow tone? Then Fuji is the way to go hands down. Plus the can looks awesome when its clean and polished.

 

I just installed the Exoticspeed R1-Ti and I love it. The sound it gives going through the revs is pure music to my ears. I've turned off my radio just to enjoy the sweet sound and the performance gains are there for sure and it looks hellagood.

 

But it is so cold up here

 

After my accident. I took off my exhaust, intake, rims, and rear lowering springs from my OB coupe all while laying on the ground in the snow. Two weeks later, I bought another coupe and installed my intake, and exhaust all while laying on the cold ground with no power tools, just regular elbow grease and good human strength. Everything is running like a charm. The cold doesn't bother me. My body won't allow me to get cold.

 

I just replaced my Tanabe Medalion Exhaust with Fast Intentions this weekend.
Had the Tanabe for about 4 years and loved it. It was pretty mellow with oem cats but when I switched them out for HFCs it really woke the exhaust up.
A little bit of rasp when I got on it, but with oem cats there was no rasp or drone.
The best way really to decide what u want is to hear them in person, video never does exhausts justice.

 

IMO get FI RHFC's first, you might not like the combo if you add hfc's/tp's later on

 

tdx2+artpipes is the best thing you can do... sounds the best and gives the best gains as well..
