Tanabe Medalion Touring Exhaust for the IS-F

Thanks for posting this one here Jack!

I'm with you, I don't like the look at all. I personally like the way the stock exhaust tips look on the car (they make it stand out more from regular IS's)

Noooooooooooooo they ripped out the tips on the bumper... >=(

yea no problem,but i wounldnt mind the greddy one i think its that one. the one with the side by side but there on alil angle. they look fresh yeeaaaa

I don't mind the look of this system at all. Tanabe makes a really nice product. It does take away the uniqueness of the factory stacked quad exhaust but it gives you the option to go with the classic "twin can" look. I having trouble wrapping around the fact that they got that much HP and torque without a complete system though.

yea right alil high of a gain just of wut i see is just a axle back. what is that just mufflers?

I prefer the JoeZ PTS exhaust set up, I like the stacked quad exhaust look keep the uniqueness of the IS-F. For just an axle back those gains sound kinda high that whats I'd rather stick with the JoeZ.

I agree. The JoeZ exhaust set up is better because it doesn't take away the factory stacked quad exhaust look. Tanabe, although street legal, should have done the same. I wouldn't want to change the stacked quad look.

There's no comparison between the two systems. IMHO, the Tanabe is a Japanese rice system with little mufflers that has very little to no performance gain. It keeps the stock 2 into 1 into 2 system, and from what I can see the Y may be a little more restrictive than the stock Y. The PTS system on the other hand, is a real improvement. It's a real dual system, eliminates the 2nd cat, uses low restriction resonators and mufflers and is a real quality made system at a realistic price.

Ahh, I remember your exhaust setup now! I thought you had a custom one done but wasn't sure

I am running the JoeZ setup and loving every second.
