Just Installed Tanabe Medalion G Power Exhaust

[ian_maham]

Just installed my Tanabe Medalion G Power Exhaust that I purchased for $200(Amazing Deal). And it sounds.... awesome. Has a really DEEP tone. Doesn't sound like a high pitched Honda. Tanabe I give you

Good to know I can get way more than $200 when I sell my G Power Medallion.

I'd like to see pictures of what you guys have for your G Medallion. I have the muffler for sure, but don't know about the rest of the piping. Are your guys' exhausts 2.5"?

 

[snowborder714]

Mine is a 2.5" catback. I'll have to see if I have any pictures of it.

Well that's good to hear. I'd be nice to know if what I have is worth a fair bit.

This is the only picture I have available of it right now.

Overall I'm a fan of this exhaust, besides the fact that it's 2.5". Very nice sound, definitely not loud (can barely hear him when he's going down the 1/4 mile). My main issue with it is that it rattles occasionally on his subframe on decel. We fixed it a little but have to get in there again to completely solve the problem somehow.

^^ I like how the tip is angled inwards from top to bottom.

Definitely looks like the one I have, just an AWD version. Same two resonators and everything.

The guy I bought mine from had rust on his pipes. I spent about 3 hours sanding the entire pipe raw and then I painted it with some paint made for grills. So my muffler is a Medallion muffler but the entire piping is black. Actually looks better than just a steel pipe, but your not going to see it anyways so who cares I guess.

My rubber hangers were in great condition so I'm not having any issues with rattling just yet. Knock on Wood.

Does the awd one go over the subframe or under?

 

[Hubbard 0]

It goes under.

Here's another picture I found before I put mine on. It's sitting in the garage in a corner right now so I can any other pictures that are needed.

That makes sense then, the only reason the fwd exhaust rattles is because it goes over the subframe.

Ya, I never had a problem with rattling until I went to a 3" exhaust. Now thing rattles like all hell.

 

[Jimmer307]

I'm almost positive that was the exhaust I sold to you . I'm happy you like it. Do you have a video?

Are talking to me? And are you referring to the Tanabe or the 3" Vibrant exhaust?

 

[Jimmer307]

No, I am reffering to the OP. I don't remember his name, but I sold it in early summer (About a week before this thread was posted) and the guy came from the Illinois side into St. Louis. The rust he was describing he had to sand off was another thing that made me think it was my old exhaust. And on top of that I sold it for $200. Could be a mere coincidense but I think not.

Ah.

I've been thinking lately of ripping open the Tanabe muffler and making it a 3" muffler that I can then bolt up to my current 3" exhaust. I love the look of the muffler so much and my current one is pretty meh. I'll probably be putting it up for sale again soon and if it doesn't sell I'll follow through with my plan.

Yeah even though I got rid of my DSM, I still regret selling my Tanabe cat-back. When I get another DSM, I will most definatly want another Tanabe G Medalion Muffler. It had the perfect tone and looked sick.
