I am trying to decide on a catback exhaust system. Im currently looking at the Tanabe G Power Medallion. What Im looking for in a catback in order of importance is 1) Sound- has too be deep (not ricy) and not too loud
2) Performance- I wanna be able to feel a difference
3) Looks- I dont want the tips that turn upward or an outrageously huge tip.
Just lookin for some suggestions

 

I used to have a Mugen one
it is great
but very expensive!

 

greddy evo

deep yes
ricey no
gains yes dont know exact hp but you can feel it
tip not too big, not pointing up

try a search for some pics and hp gains

 

i got a greddy evo and its sick.

 

whatever you do - stay away from the apexi N1. I love it, but you wont!!!

 

the greddy EVO has a huge tip imo. get the thermal exhasut....full stainless steel, not a big tip, deepest sounding exhaust ive ever heard, nice sounds, okay gains, and not ricey whatsoever. i think you hsould get it IMO

 

N1 and Thermal are nice, EVO is koo but i heard it rusts to pieces after a while if parked outside.. unless you garage your ride i'd go with a thermal or a n1

You really think the greddy evo tip is big? it has a huge fockin muffler though.

 

its easy in the middle of all those deep sound and nice looking n1 style polished well made design/ Mid to high end power great. Skunk2

No matter what anyone says, NOTHING ELSE sounds like the Mugen twin loop, period. The sound is so throaty that even at low revs the car almost rumbles as the exhaust resonates, and when you hit VTEC in any gear the roar is plain sweet & completely unique.

Sorry dude, but no matter what exhaust you buy the gains will be minimal if you're still N/A (butt-dynos aside). My *** says that my Mugen badge added at least 10 whp, but hey that's just my imagination justifying the cash I spent.

They don't make the tanabe g power medallion anymore unless you find one used. Plus its pricey

 

Hell Yeah!! The Dunk is like a cantalope cannon. Looks good on a clean 5th gen, though.

 

I would love a mugen but its a bit too pricy. The evo was 2nd on my list. Does anyone know anything about the tanabe g power medallion?
