Finally! Its here!
Well i've been waiting what seems like an eternity, actually 6 days to get my muffler in. I'm doing an axle back setup. You may say that this isn't much but to me it is in a way. Will sound better and look good under my back bumper instead of the stock pipe. So please don't hate on me for getting just the muffler right now. I'm gonna see how it sounds and may do a custom cat back, headers and downpipe, to add on with it. Its a Tanabe Tuner Medallion series.

Rep Power: 310 good choice, really no point at getting a full cat back if it doesn't do anything (performance) to our cars. let us know how much you spent and how it sounds.

Rep Power: 322 I spent $125 on it, brand new never been open. Free shipping too. I'm going to have it installed this week sometime. I will try to get a sound clip.
nice muffler, dont remove your resonator, or if you do replace the stock one with a more free flowing one, w/o it you will sound like your driving a civic with a 125cc dirt bike engine.
= )
ps custom is the way to go on our cars... allmost every aftermarket exhause is 2.5" or larger, way to large for our cars if your not going turbo. im running 2.25, with a 18" resonator and a regular universal oval muffler absolutly 0 i mean 0 raspyness or popping, literaly stock but louder with a distinct bass note.

Rep Power: 322 Yea the guy at the shop said he could put in a new way thats more free flowing and would sound louder he said. He said i could go with a full cat back exhaust, can you go with Aftermarket headers and downpipe and still have the resonators?
yea, im running kamikazi headers, 2.75 to 2.25 reducer to resonator, to muffler. it took the guy like 1 hour and i paid like 70 bucks in labor and pipe... i bought the muffler/resonator.
Last time I had this much fun some furniture got broken!

Rep Power: 361 o/t how much do you think a place is gunna charge just to change stock exhaust tip to something not so hideous? sorry for the hijack
just get a bolt on tip, but for a weld on cant be more than 20 bucks, its literaly a 5 min job, save up a bit and get just a universal muffler, there like 60 bucks and they will charge probly 20-40 bucks to hang it i think? you will get a much more free flowing exhaust, a good low sound and mabie 1hp = P

Rep Power: 322 My shop told me $40 to install the muffler and that was including hangers, but he has to resize the inlet so who knows now

Rep Power: 0 I like the tip of the Tuner Medallion better than the Super Racing Medallion. Good choice!
By the way, you should see if you could angle the tip more, it looks weird to me right now for some reason.

Rep Power: 322 I love it, sounds great, at idle you really can't hear it that much, but when you get on it then it comes to life. I put the silencer in and sounds just like stock. So on long trips if you don't want to hear it just put the silence and piece and quiet. The only thing is, the tip really isn't that long so i couldn't tuck the muffler up far enough, but it still looks good.
