I have a Tanabe racing medallion on my 99 prelude (dont know if that makes a difference) and it sounds great! I dont know how loud it is with the silencer in it but it's loud as sh*t with it off. It doesnt have the annoying "bees in a coffee can" sound either - nice and deep. Sorry I can't get a sound clip of it. It looks nice too!

i had custom piping with a Tanabe muffler on my car (1995 240sx KA24DE) and i hated it. it was really loud even with the silencer in. and i dont mean a nice loud sound. it was rather raspy in my opinion.

Is it worth to buy it? What do you think?

I think the Signal Auto Drifter cars usually use it. I think it sounds good. I saw there specs in Grip VIdeo and it was on the Drifter X sil80.

Tanabe makes a few different types but in general their stuff is well made. I have the Super Medalion Hyper Spec and I dig it, but I doubt most people would.
Do not buy the racing medallion. I have rode in a certain prelude with this exhaust and it's louder than it should be. It might be more quiet with a turbo though. IMO it attracts more attention than it's worth and doesn't sound the greatest either.

I finally found a sound clip of it. The sound is really nice :eek3: just like the blitz nur-spec exhaust. What do you think of it? :naughty:

yeah i wish i could find a better sound clip.... im hoping to be get my tanabe cat back soon.
it looks similar to this one (http://i2.ebayimg.com/02/i/01/d0/3c/42_1_b.JPG)
ive heard em in person on my friends sr powered 240 they sound really good. plus if you dont like it. drive around for a while and convince someone else how nice it is and sell it to them and buy a new one... lol
btw how much are you looking to spend on yours?....just wanna see if im getting a good deal or not.

i use to have a tanabe g medallion, it sounded awsome, one of the best sounding exhaust IMHO. it is not too annoying loud, and its very deep. the reason a custom exhaust with the tanabe muffler did not sound good, might be because there was no resonator. the g medallion is a huge muffler plus it had a resonator. the quality is excelent too.

What do you think it's better Blitz or Tanabe?

it's all up to you man. looks, performance, size, weight, and function. i would say quality wise, they are about the same.

I got my 80mm universal racing medallion for 140 shipped with a silencer on ebay. good deal! I'm doing custom piping so we'll see how it sounds. I've liked all the ones I've heard.
