Default TANABE MEDALLION CONCEPT G

As many of you know from read a few of my other threads, I've been looking at random exhausts. I've been looking at the HKS-HI POWER, GREDDY TI-C, INVIDIA V3(no longer an option) and now I'm starting to look at the TANABE MEDALLION CONCEPT G per a friends recommendation. I looked it up on the FS forum and someone happened to be selling one. My question is, does anyone have a dyno for this exhaust? How does this exhaust compare to the others mentioned above? I've narrowed it down to the Greddy TI-C and the Tanabe so far, and I'm stuck. I want SOME power gain, mainly just don't want to loose any, while staying around the $500 price range. I'm attracted to these two mainly because I haven't heard of any power loss with either of these, and they are both quiet(compared to others) so....

Please post your experience with either of these exhausts, dynos(before and after, preferably none that have been posted in a magazine such as the one in importuners)

Like I said, I'm stuck......

i think (form the research that i did when looking to buy an exhaust) that the 3 you've narrowed down to are pretty similar in terms of sound and performance. Weight might also be something to consider as that's probably be the best chance of any 'gains'
I went with the HKS, and couldn't be happier...

Just a question to hks owners, do you ever find it too quiet at startup? Does the hks give a mean little growl when it starts up like the ti-c?

Is there anybody that has heard both the hks and ti-c and think strongly that one sounds a lot better than the other?

If you want power and decent price (around $500) go with the greddy Ti-C single! You will get good gains with this, on the other hand the thing is on the loud side without the silencer. Iv heard its really quite with the silencer in but cant confirm it. The dual sounds good as well but i have never seen any dynos on the dual and even if it makes any power its not gonna be close to the single 70mm. Cant say anything about the others lol, but can tell you that the Ti-C single is an excelent buy for the money and if you just want sound (no dynos to prove gains) thats not that loud, get the dual!

I'm buying a Greddy TI-C Dual this weekend. I don't have any doubt that I'll like it.

If the HKS is to quiet, just remove the resonator. I got my used for 400$ installed. I didn't want anything that would draw attention from cops. I don't think you can lose with any of those exhausts.

I installed the Greddy TI-C last night with the help of the guy I bought it from. Got it for 500, so I can't complain at all.
