Default Tenabe Medallion vs. Apex WS II

hey guys, i have yet another decision i have come across and need some of your opinions..

i'm looking for an exhaust and i want to keep that oval canister look. the two i have broken it down to were the Tenabe Hyper Medallion and the Apex-i World Sport II.

I hear that the Apex is really quiet. i'm lookin for some sound, but mainly performance. i like how it looks, but everyone has them..
I am leaning more towards the Hyper Medallion because i hear the sound isn't that bad, and it produces pretty good numbers. It SEEMS to me that the canister is a little big, but from the people who've owned it say it's just right.. (and it'll make my whole back end look good w/ the Function 7 LCAs and the ASR subframe + 22mm sway bar)

..i'm still pretty open about an exhaust setup, i want to run SPARK race header w/ my LS, motor in an EK.. i am just looking for that oval canister look.

sooo, if you guys can help me out and throw in your 2 cents, that would be sweet... thanks!!

You won't get a power gain with the Apexi. The Tanabe will give give you a few WHP, but will also be LOUD.

Do you have mods that require an exhaust upgrade, or are you just looking for noise?

I have a Tanabe Hyper Medallion and love it! It clears the rear on my del Sol. I have sway bar, lcas, coilovers, tie bars, etc.

The Hyper Medallion isn't loud. It's rather comparable in sound than to the WS2, but it has a lower note.

I have it, and I love it.

Corrected, I was thinking of the canister style exhausts.

Just for my $0.02, I also have the medallion and I like it. It gets a bit raspy in the low-mid range but sounds TOO raw once vtec kicks in. mmmmmmBAAAA! Althought the canister looks kinda 'out of place' on my little del sol, it still matches well!

p.s. if anyone knows anyone selling a full b16 VTEC head. please PM me.. need all the equipment for the LS/VTEC swap as well.. thanks!!
