Default tanabe ultra medalion

anyone have this on their car? i tried to search but nothing came up at all.

i was wondering if anyone had any pics or sound clips so i can better make my decision.
my buddy has a tanabe medalion touring exhaust on his ek, and i liked the quality of the construction, but wanted a louder sound with some crazier materials.

any help would be awesome.

it sounds really good, team integra has an exhaust article, go check that out. however, i've heard a couple of people have had bad luck with tanabe quality, the welds break over time and they just fall apart, that's why i bought a buddy club prospec.
here's a pic of it:

That sucks. I have my tanabe racing medalion for over 5 years now on a CRX and there are no problems whats so ever.

I havn't heard too many problems of tanabe before. We've sold a few but never had any complaints.

Sound-wise, yeah it rocks. Initial quality and fit-n-finish, superb. But, the description on Tanabes website of my Super Hyper Racing Medallion was misleading. The muffler is simply too big, it doesn't look good and certainly doesn't slant up and to the right like the description stated.

I've only had it on the car since March and I drive my teggy mabe 2 times a week. So long-term and heavy-use reliability.... I can't comment on.

Hope that helps...
