Tanabe Medalion and Y-Pipe (Updated Video 9/15)

[downedzephyr]

Hey fellow Niconauts! I finally got to install my Y-pipe now that I'm home in California, so here's a video (And I think I'm the first posted video of the Tanabe Medalion/Y-Pipe Combo). New video posted, make sure you turn up the volume!

i have the tanabe also and am thinking about getting the ypipe.did you notice much of a diffenance after you put the ypipe on.sound and performance? does it sound ricey in person?

It's a little too raspy for me at the peak of the rev. But the build up sounds nice!

I have always wondered what the Tanabe exhaust paired w/ the y-pipe would sound like. Seems like it would sound a bit better when the car is warmed up and the y-pipe is broken in. Thanks for taking your time and posting up a video.

the butt dyno can definitely feel the increase in power, and I actually like the way it sounds now better than before. It's a fair amount louder than the tanabe by itself and a lot deeper than the video gives it credit for. I'll see if i can get another video later with a better camera.

So I shot a new video for anyone interested since the first video doesn't really capture the sound properly. This new one is a bit better and you can definitely hear the deeper tones. Also, my car was warmed up for this recording (I had just driven it home from school) and the y-pipe has been broken in (been daily driving it for about a month now). The new video is posted up at the top of the thread.

dude it sounds and looks really good. you don't happen to know where I can find some 4 inch tips like those??? I got a custom exhaust done to my coupe and I love the way it sounds, but I don't really like the tips (they look just like the stock tips, just a tad bit bigger)

those def aren't 4" tips i have on there lol, i don't even think they're 3". those are the one that came on the tanabe medalion from the factory

the Tanabe exhaust has 100mm tips.. equal to 3.9" so might as well be 4".

sounds good though man.
