Default Tanabe Racing Medalion...OR....Skunk 2..????

Which exhaust....They look almost the same. The Tanabe is $100 dollars more....But it's Tanabe.

I have seen the Tanabe on my friends 00 lude and it looked nice...Angled up and looked clean. I haven't seen a skunk 2


What to get???

Does anyone have a Skunk 2??

my friend has a Tanabe on his '99 lude. if its a look thing that makes you choose then check out the SP or the Evo, i have an ev0 but i dont have a cat, so its more raspy. N1 by apex'i is nice as well to0, that one is angled up.

But from what you gave, i would go with the tanabe, just because i almost bought that same exhaust when i was shopping!

What year is your LUDE??? Mine is a '94 and it looks nice. Sound is always at a deep bass pitch, and if you're that picky, it does sound a little riceier at around 5-6000 rpm's in low gears. Hope this helps....I will try to post some pics if I can....no promises though. The Tanabe SMR, is QUITE large.

Hey Geeq, i don't have any pictures right now but the skunk2 will make your car sound excellent. it is a pretty deep sound and not that high pitched weed wacker noise, not ricey at all, just sounds nice and deep
