Strength:
A unique and unreplicable deep tone. A chest-felt increase of horsepower and torque. Completely stainless steel.
Weakness:
Your amount of haters will increase. You will set off a car alarm or two. The Tanabe Racing Medallion is anything and everything you want in a catback. The slant design and shiny stainless steel is the first thing you notice. While I'm sitting at the light in idle, your turning your head wondering where the rumble is coming from. If your a real fan of loud and deep, try turning on the a/c. Oh, you want to know about power. When I take off, your're still busy looking. When the VTEC hits, your're shrinking in my rear-view. All talk aside, I've seen jump from the sound. This exhaust gives you the quality you pay for. It's not a $300 knock off, and you couldn't buy a muffler in the world that will give you that pure, deep, this ain't b.s. under the hood, sound. You'd be amazed how many cats will roll up on you, and back the hell off. Do the right thing, save up your money, and GET THE TANABE! Similar Products Used: Not a damn thing! |

I HOPE I CAN HEAR THE LOUD NOISE LIKE EVERYONE ELSE. LOL I LOVE THE LOOKS. iT'S A CANNON WAITING TO EXPLODE. I HAVE A BLACK TEG AND THE SHINY EXHUAST MATCH PERFECT WITH THE CHROME WHEELS. LOVE HOW MY CAR LOOK AT NIGHT TIME. ABOUT THE NOISE. iT'S NOT LOUD ENOUGH FOR ME. I THINK PEOPLE ARE EXAGGARATING ABOUT THE NOISE. MAYBE I FEEL THIS WAY BECUASE MY SOUND SYSTEM IS KILLING MY EAR DRUMS. TO SUM IT UP, GREAT EXHUAST. I HAD TO DECIDE WHETHER TO GET THIS BAD BOY OR THE GREDDY EVO. WHAT MADE ME DECIDE TO GET THIS WAS AFTER HEARING A CIVIC SI FLY BUY IN THE PARKING LOT. HE HAD HIS TRSM FROM THE SAME STORE AND JUST GOT IT INSTALLED. I STILL WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW IT FEELS LIKE WITH THE EVO. I AM HAPPY WITH MY DECISION AT THE END OF THE DAY. GET THIS EXHUAST IF YOU HAVE A CIVIC. THEY LOOK BAD ASS.

Strength:
- Good HP gain - Nice deep constant sound
Weakness:
- Pretty loud when no silencer I've read every review here before purchasing it but a good majority of the people at looking for a LOUD exhaust(I don't like disturbing ppl) So anyways, I bought it anyways and it's great! Without the silencer it's really deep and can get loud if you're going at more then 50% throttle. With the silencer it's just a tad louder then the OEM exhaust. Power wise, I have the AEM V2 + Exhaust combo which is a great combo to have. My 2nd and 3rd gear from 3000 rpm up are blazing fast. |

Strength:
- VERY LOUD!!! - Nice Stainless Steal - Turns Alot Of Heads - Adds Sufficient HP
Weakness:
ABSOLUTELY NO WEAKNESS.... I got this catback put on my Integra about 2 weeks ago. It took about 45 minutes to get it on...straight through design. This thing sounds sooo amazing. I have an AEM short ram intake and DC Sports 4-2-1 Headers also and it makes my exhaust soo deep and very loud. You will turn alot of heads while driving by. Just remember to let off the gas when you go by the cops cuz they can be a$$holes. Similar Products Used: Stock=Garbage |

-Sound: Cannot be beat by any company -Kept low end revs -BIG ASS CANON sticking out the back of your car.
Weakness:
None! Although I've only had it for one day now so =] Just had the Tanabe Super Racing Medallion installed on my car and, damn! this thing owns! Sweet sweet sounds. Nothing compares to the noise this thing puts out. You think some exhausts are loud, but this thing is LOUD! but not that raspy ass fart can noise, smooth low power noise. and, I didnt loose my low end power! w00t w00t! Similar Products Used: -Stock: Has nothing on this... -Replaced muffler section only: I did this before I bought the TSRM and it was ok, but didnt sound that great. |

Strength:
sound is incredible---mean deep deep deep
Weakness:
very loud low a bit on bottom-end I love this exhaust. It is freaky loud. And, deep. Just my luck as I was pulling out of the garage after having it installed(yes I was lazy and had it installed for me) a cop was waiting at the corner. No ticket though. Then on the way home another cop sitting right in from of my complex clocking speeders but no ticket baby! This thing was rumbling too. The key is to take it easy and play it smart and stay off the gas (you'll still be loud though). It looks beautiful all shiny and slanted at an angle. My only complaint is that I lost a good bit of low end power. I hear you goal a bit back on top end but I haven't punched it yet. Tomorrow I will have more time to play around. From what feel so far I highly recommend this exhaust. |

Strength:
OUTSTANDING DEEP TONE SOUND, IF YOU WANNA BE HEARD, BE INTIMIDATING.
Weakness:
A LITTLE PRICEY, AND IS LOUD!!! FOR THOSE WHO ARE SHORT ON MONEY ARE CARE ABOUT dB. NOT ME!!! THIS IS THE 2ND TANABE RACING SPEC MEDALION I'VE BOUGHT. REASON WHY I SAY 2ND IS (TO MAKE A SHORT STORY SHORT) I BOUGHT THE EXACT SAME ONE ON MY OTHER CIVIC (93'-AUTO) AND WELL THAT CAR GOT STOLEN. ANYWAYS, I BOUGHT ME ANOTHER CIVIC. THIS TIME A MANUAL TRANS. VERY NICE, SWEET, DEEP TONE, VERY GOOD FITMENT. NOT LIKE THAT LAWN MOWER SOUND. IF YOU'VE SEEN "THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS - 1ST MOVIE", REMEMBER THAT ORANGE SUPRA WELL IT SOUNDS ALMOST THE SAME!!! WHEN I HAD IT ON MY AUTOMATIC CIVIC, IT SOUNDED GOOD. BUT NOW ON MY MANUAL CIVIC, OH DAMMM!!!, SOUNDS REALY GOOD. THE REV'S, WHILE SHIFTING GEARS, AWSOME SOUND. MY ENGINE IS STOCK WITH THIS CAT-BACK TANABE EXHAUST AND IT SOUNDS DEEP. IMAGINE WHEH I START MESSING WITH MY ENGINE, IT'S GONNA GET DEEPER AND LOUDER. IF YOU WANT THE BEST CAT-BACK EXHUAST SYSTME OUT THERE IN THE IMPORT AFTERMARKET WORLD, THIS IS THE BEST, NO COMPETION AT ALL!!!! Similar Products Used: ARE YOU KIDDING ME, COME ON?!?! |
