Who uses the Tanabe super medallion hyper exhaust?

Tanabe Exhaust SM Hyper - Super Medalion Hyper | T4013A | Mazda | RX-7 | AutoCarParts.com***

Im interested in picking up this exhaust to replace my existing n1 style exhaust currently installed. Its advertised as an axel back. I like the look of the full oval mufflers with a single tip plus i want it to be a little more quiet (I think im growing up!) Who runs this exhaust? Do you like it? Please provide some pics if you could because I cant seem to find any on the web. Thank you guys for your time.

I've seen a car with it, it's a relatively quiet exhaust and fits well. It's a bit pricey if memory serves.

Most any large canister exhaust like that will be pretty quiet.

If you go to Tanabe's website, they have a video of it running on a black FD. I've always liked it, and was going to get it until I picked up a RB single tip.

I used to run that exhaust. I think its a good looking exhaust and good quality. I swapped to a lighter exhaust and more straight through Amuse R1 Ti. If I were to stick with SS I would probably have stuck with the Tanabe one. I think it looks great through.

noise wise, the amuse is WAY WAY louder. The tanabe is the quitest of the bunch. Even the other 7's running around town its probably the most quiet, I did not run a cat convertor with it.

Love my Tanabe Gold Medallion far better than Borla or Apexi. It has a deep resonating purr below 2k rpm. If you wind it out it won't disappoint. They are somewhat pricey and rare nowadays.
