Blitz Nur Touring Spec VS Tanabe Touring

Which one is LOUDER? I like the stockish looking (oval cans) mufflers usually

My single tip Racing Beat sounds great but it's just to quiet with the 1jzgte vvti up front . The exhaust is 3" straight through the rest of the way. It's about as loud as a stock 350z (weak!)

Any other suggestions?

I just put on a Tanabe Medallion touring and it's pretty quiet. The muffler is pretty big and it really deadens the sound. It's very similar to the racing beat.

I find my tanabe to be quite a bit louder than stock, especially when you get on it.

i have a hi flow cat and 3" downpipe.

I have the Blitz Nur cat back on my FD and it sounds pretty good. Not overly loud but definitely has that low pitched drone to it. Its more muffled sounding that the agency power exhaust I have on my RX8

I love those style of exhausts as well, but most are made to be on the quieter side, especially the ones with touring in the name. If you want louder you'll have to end up going to the other style.

Tanabe Medallion Touring

I had the Tanabe Medallion Touring on my FD and thought it looked great but damn was it quiet. Cruising speeds it was quiet but when you get on it the exhaust opens up and sounds pretty good. But definitely not a loud exhaust which is why I sold it and went with a titanium N1 style exhaust I uploaded this video so you can get an idea of it at WOT, sorry for letting off once I got to the camera man...kinda defeated he whole purpose of doing a flyby video lol. The car is on stock twins with intakes, 3" DP and HFC.
