Sound clips below in thread.

I just installed the Tanabe Super Racing Medalion dual setup today. I am very happy with it. Gives a VERY loud and VERY deep purr before 6K and screams thereafter. I haven't tried out the removable silencers yet to see how they sound, but I am very happy with it so far. My girlfriend says it's too loud but what does she know Very nice fitment and quality. I ended up going with this setup after findinjg out the HKS is not stainless throughout whereas the Tanabe is.

I put a few pics below and I will be dynoing in about a week and will post results. I will also try to get a sound clip up as well.

Yeah, it's a bit larger than I was expecting, but the sound is so good it makes up for it to me.

Yes I did it myself and yes, I have been meaning to get rid of the Barry's holder since day one. But I am the king of procrastination.

Only paid around $710. I could have got it for like $680 shipped but I wanted to deal w/ a distributor I had already used and trusted. I had wanted the HKS like I said, but the dealer actualy talked me out of it even though he had both in stock and the HKS was almost $300 more.
