OT: Integra w/tanabe hyper

[guidot]

I know some of you are anti honda, but you have to appreciate the people that make them want to sound and look good.  
So far my brothers friend has decided he doesn't want to be rice, so i'm telling him how to go about it.  He already got the AEM SRI, and I told him he needs a nice exhaust.  I know how good of a rep Tanabe has, so I told him to go to the local shop here to see what they had.  They could get him the Hyper-Medallion and the Super Medallion.  I told him to go with the Hyper, as he has enough trouble with the cops as it is, and a non-50 state legal exhaust wouldn't help.  He received it yesterday and we got it on today.  After getting all the rust off the old pipe and getting that crush bent crap off, it was only 30mins later we had it up and running.  What a sound!!  It doesn't even sound like he has an exhaust until he really gets on it, and even then it doesn't sound like pissed off bumblebees.  Think of Kleinubing going for the SpeedVision GT Cup!!
I will have some pics of this install up on the site soon, so look there for some T-304 shininess!
I just needed to express my excitement, cuz its the first exhaust i've done!
Thanks for listening!

Cliffnotes: Tanabe rules, even on Hondas.

was the hyper all stainless? if i recall correctly the super medallion series was all stainless.

the racing medallion is the loud one, but I hear it sounds exceptionally nice on an integra

S13 cruzer, there is something you can pick up that you soak the bolts in for &nbsp;like an hour or so that helps loosen them. I read about it from someone doing the Z32 brake swap. If you cant find it try WD-40.

what size piping does that use? just wondering

and what about the silencer, is it near the cat or the muffler?

stupid questions that i am just wondering on

[guidot]

Boosted - silencer is just after the cat, and the piping is 2.5 i think. &nbsp;all T304 stainless too (grant). &nbsp;Sounds and looks great, tip isn't rediculous looking.

I can guarantee you that my method (stuff) works the best. It's something called a "BFM" (or "BFH" for some of you). <!--emo&<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'> Never disappoints and always gets the job done!

As for Tanabe -- I like their stuff, only they don't make nice suspension for S13s; they only have the Sustech pro for S14+. Ahh well.
