Tanabe Medallion Trouring vs. RB Dual Tip

Im running a T04R, DP, rx7store resonated MP, and Greddy SP and its still too loud for southern california.


I was originally looking to switch the SP for a RB dual but then I saw the Tanabe Medalion Trouing, and its sounds practically stock.

Im stuck between the two. I want it to be as quiet as possible.... and im not worried about exhaust flow at WOT since my wastegate is vented to atmosphere.

tanabe vid clip.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_qfy...eature=related

and we all know how the RB sounds like... but im afraid that nice low tone is not going to be there because of the single turbo.. its obviously quite louder than stock twins. I want that deep low tone like the Greddy SP


thoughts?/ideas?/comments?

wow that tanabe sounds really good, i wonder what the titanium tanabe sounds like. I think the RB will be quieter though.

this is my opinion, but i don't usually like the sound of tanabe's exhaust. i think u'll be fine if you go with the RB one instead. or you can always blow a lot of cash and get the amemiya dolphin tail. their pretty quiet, but 600+ for a muffler is a lil outta my range. FEED has a twin tipped cat back out also which is a lot like the RB, it has a really down low tone also.

Wow that tanabe is like super quiet, almost like a stock sound.

I wonder if this exhaust frees up any HP at all.
