Default Tanabe Medalion Touring Installed

Got it installed in my 07 today & this exhaust sounds awesome. It's just slightly louder & has nice deeper tone compare to stock. No drone/power lost at all. If you want loud exhaust, this is definately NOT for you.

Price - 9 ($900 installed)
Quality - 10 (Much better quality than the Apexi WS2 i had in my 04 SI)
Look - 9 (It flush with the rear bumper when you look straight down from the trunk)
Sound - 10 (No drone, Deep tone & quiet)
Loudness - 10 (Just perfect, not much louder than stock. Any yet it has a nice deep tone)

Sweet looking exhaust, I've always like the quality of Tanabe. BTW, is it me, or are the tips on this one extended a lot further out than the one in the youtube clip?

Could be because Tanabe list this exhuast is for 00-05. The one in Youtube is an 05, mine is an 07

question is does it have any power gains. And is that an oem spoiler on the trunk? I like it.

gains are claimed at 3-5 hp but for significant gains i'd recommend combining it with a berk header + test pipe + VAFC + tune...you'll see a decent gain...btw...I have that exhaust and love it!!!!

I do feel the power gain especially on highway. It pull harder than stock exhaust but not loud at all which is a good thing. And Yeah, it's the OEM trunk lip.
