I couldn't bring myself to be overly aggressive in selling that exhaust. I finally decided to pull it off the market and it was installed on Friday.

Jeff at Jay Honda did his usual good job. The stock piece is HEAVY and jeez, REALLY, just one piece? I guess Honda did that for NVH prevention.

I did a comparison video. I wish others doing exhaust videos would do a comparison with stock to give people an idea of what the change is.

I can only say "what the hell took me so long?" and "I should never have tried to sell it". It is literally (I measured it, check the video) slightly louder than stock, and has a deeper tone to it. It is a little louder before the engine is fully warmed up, but once the engine is at two bars, the sound settles down. It is NOT HKS or Invidia loud ("WHAT DID YOU SAY?"), and I can talk at a normal conversational level with the top down.

I'll be enjoying fall weather drives a little more before I put the car away in November. If you are considering an exhaust for a) daily driver or b) "mature" ears, this is a good choice.

In any case, enjoy the video.

That exhaust made it exactly 24 hours on my car. It droned so bad my teeth hurt and the local shop gave me my money back. I hope your experience is better.

 

You sure you're not talking about the Tanabe Medalion Concept G? That one is louder and has a drone to it. The Touring has not a drop of drone in it so far for me.

Check back with me later in the week when the weather finally breaks....will be putting a couple hundred miles on it between driving all over for work. If it turns droney, it comes off.

 

Nice catch of the receipt of w/e that was trying to leave your car. lol.

 

I told you Tanabe was THE BEST!


He probably is not talking about the Medallion, because it doesn't drone at all.

 

I just looked, I guess I did have the Tanabe Concept G.
