I've got a low mileage '06 S2K and am shopping for a cat back system. I don't want a loud, annoying upgrade and was steered to Tanabe Medalion Touring Cat Back model. Anyone have direct experience or own this mod? I appreciate all opinions and am open to other manufacturer suggestions that won't result in the car sounding like it's driven by a "17-year old cruisin' chicks..."

 

Tanabe stuff is excellent. I ran this exhaust when I was NA and was more than satisfied. Quality is oem like, fitment is perfect, and sound was nice and deep. No rasp, no fartcan. Was a little quiet for my taste, so I added a testpipe which gave it a little more growl. Only thing I didn't completely like was the shape of the tips. Other than that it was a top quality exhaust. I actually sold it too a friend when I went turbo, and he loves it as well. You won't be disapointed.

 

Thanks for your input! I'm now searching for best price on the Tanabe system.

 

You really want the ct-e exhaust. One of the classiest sounding systems!

 

i have a medallion touring and i couldnt be happier, looks great sounds great. im coming from a challenge single, if i had a choice again i would go for the SMH which has a bit more growl to it.
