I'm thinking about getting a Tanabe exhaust, I like how the SMR and the hyper medallion sounds, I was wondering which one over the two to get. Or maybe neither of them and something else. My price limit is about $450. What I wanted to know, what does each sound like? I heard that the super racing medallion has a loud drone and is really annoying on the highway. This is ganna be my DD so I want it to sound good, but not make it annoying to drive. So yeah I'd just like some feedback please b4 I buy one. Also, if there's an exhaust that's about $400-$450 that's really good, in sound and performance than just post that along with some feedback on it. Thanks.

 

I've got the SHM... very pleased with it, it sounds great.
Only thing is, it's a little on the big side, with the canister and all.

Also need to shorten my testpipe to place the exhaust more inward. It's sticking out a tad too much at this moment.



Here's a movie:

I have the Super Racing Medallion, its loud. And on the highway it can be annoying, lol. I dont have an audio file for it or a movie, at idle its a deep purr, sounds pretty cool, never gets really high pitched but definitly gets loud. Lol, with the windows down at 6k rpms it sounds like someone with a deep voice is screaming in your ear. Overall im pretty happy with it, I wasnt sure if i liked it at first but you get use to it.

 

I had the Hyper Medallion on my Prelude and it was probably the best exhaust I had on. Great tone, excellent fit and excellent construction. My only gripe with it, as mentioned before was the humungous tip. Other than that, it was awesome.

 

I have a RARE DISCOUNTINUED Tanabe G-Power for sale, pm me for pics-info.

 

Hmm I really like the sound of the SHM in BZRkbb2's movie clip. how is the exhaust on the highway. Does it drone on?

 

You only hear it roar when you rev up... or down... But it's no ricey sound.

At constant speeds it's a slight hum in the background. So no loud noise.

The overall sound did increase after I fitted my BPi flowstack. Especially above the 4200rpm the sound is more distinct than before.

But I still love it.

Extra note: the soundclip is stock H23a2 with Megan 4-2-1 header and custom 60mm testpipe.
