Default Tanabe Hyper Medallion Exhaust - Pictures or Comments

Hello,
I just purchased this exhaust, but I am having some trouble finding good pictures on an S2000. I have done many searches using various combinations of keywords. So if anyone has this exhaust and could show some pictures or tell me how they like it, that would be a big help.
Thanks.

I absolutely loved the sound. It was a deep rumble.

Thanks for the reply, your car looks great. Your exhaust looks like the Racing Medallion, which is apparently much louder (and more common) than the Hyper. I could be wrong though. Maybe they look the same. Can anyone verify?
Thanks.

Hey Bubbastook,
I just looked again and I see the difference in the two. It is funny, the only other pictures I was able to find were yours as well. Thanks for your help. I think I will be pleased with the sound and appearance.

You're exactly right. They are racing medallions. I need some sleep...

The Hyper is not as loud as the canister-style Racing Medallion. It weighs a bit more and does have a more "refined" sound, if you will, not quite as aggressive as the RM. My Tanabe RM weighed 13-lbs less than stock but when I cut-it from the Y-section back and installed the Supertrapps, I lost another 9-lbs.
The Hyper is also full stainless steel as opposed to the RM which I believe (unless they too are now full stainless steel) was coated up to the canisters.

Are they supposed to stick out that far behind the bumper? It makes it look way too ricey to me. Looks like a highschool kids Civic.

Just my opinion.
