Strength:

Appearence, sounds nice and beefy! Fits like a glove! It's like putting another stock exhaust but w/a little kick!

Weakness:

NONE.....YOU WON'T BE DISSAPOINTED IF YOU OWN A '99-00 Si.

Definitely the best exhaust out there on the market for my car. It's loud but not annoying loud. Definitely an HP gainer when combined w/my DC headers and Iceman cold air intake. Worth every dollar you pay for it!

I have a friend that has a GReddy catback exhaust on his '00 Si and mine empowers his w/the loudness, appearence, and performance. He's selling his to get the Racing Medallion. Smart guy!

Strength:

Sound Looks DID I SAY SOUND!!! NO Rasp! Deep sounding Head turner

Weakness:

price a lil high, other than that NONE

Well its been on for about 12 hours now and i cant seem to get myself out of my car. It is quite possibly the nicest sounding exhaust out there. Not any rasp to it. Very deep. If you dont want the high pitch ricey sound, this one is for you. I definately reccommend this to anyone out there in the market for a cat-back.

Strength:

- Sounds SUPER nice - You get a great product - Adds so much to the appearance of your car - Turns a lot of heads ;)

Weakness:

- Price seems kind of high but you know how it goes "you get what you pay for" and you definitely get your moneys worth

I was looking to find the "perfect" exhaust system for my RSX and couldn't decide between the Greddy EVO and the Tanabe RM. Both of them have very good reputations and I've always wanted a Greddy exhaust but I also knew that the Tanabe's were supposed to be just as good. Anyway, I chose the Tanabe RM because I felt the EVO's tip was too big (and they were on a 2 month back order). I have no regrets with my decision and am definitely happy with what I got. It definitely makes the car look so much better. I didn't notice any improvement with the horsepower gain (at least at the low rpm range) but I haven't actually "punched" it yet because I'm still breaking in the car. It sounds AWESOME and doesn't sound cheap (ex. like a lawnmower) like some of those other ones out there. Has a very clear and deep tone. It just sounds so nice. People have been saying that it's really loud which made me hesitant about getting it but I was also surprised with how it sounded. It sounds perfect. Even on the freeway you can barely here it, it almost sounds like I have my stock exhaust on it. The only thing I want to test is the quality, how it lasts in the long run.

I've tried the Nakayama brand but it doesn't even compare.

Strength:

The looks damn damn. The sound ohhhhh damn. High end power. I can feel the difference in the way my car pulls.

Weakness:

None as of yet.

This exhaust system is the best!!! It''s not too loud at all, sounds perfect like A slow rumble of thunder in the distance. Dosen''t stick out or hang to low like the N1, and damn it looks gooooood. Fits like it was custom made for my car. I thought twice about getting the racing medallion cause I had seen alot of people driving around with these fake look alikes and they were all ugly,(sticking out to far and hanging real low) but then I saw some on other cars and they looked really good. Thats when I decided to get the exhaust system. There''s alot of wanna-bee racing medallions out there but they don''t sound, fit or look like the real thing. If you settle for nothing but the best this is the exhaust to get hands down.

Strength:

Noticable power gains.

Weakness:

It is very "ricey". Hangs too low.

The exhaust is pretty nice is has added noticable power. It is an attractive jspec angled exhaust.

My friend has the Hayame Stainless Steel catback and his is much deeper in tone and doesn''t have that tin can sound. I would go with the Hayame instead if I could do it over.

Strength:

Great increase in HP. No torque loss in lower rpm''s. Has a solid deep tone.

Weakness:

Like I said "FLAWLESS!"

This exhaust system is flawless. Increased horsepower all around, no loss on bottom end rpm''s. Deep throaty sound. Gets quiet at high rpm''s. Does not make popping backfires. Sets off car alarms in parking garages and people all around hear you coming!! Goes perfect with my AEM full cold air intake system.

Strength:

-Lightweight and simple in design -Great looking piece of hardware -Real deep sound (I love downshifting!) -Loud as %^&* when you want it to be -Easy bolt on with no welding required

Weakness:

Not one damn thing is wrong with this product.Its awsome!

The Tenabe Racing Medallion is the most impressive cat-back exhaust systems I have ever worked with.Its straight stainless steel consruction is very lightweight and is easy to keep clean for all of you showies out there.The product was a perfect fit on my RSX and looks amazing.This system is wonderfully designed and when my feet get heavy, this baby SCREAMS!!!It is also very sound responsive to your accelorator in the sense that it is not too loud when you just feel like cruisin'' and when you drive hard, it sounds real deep and intimidating(not like those exhausts that sound like pissed-off bumble bees in a can).This product is the @#$% and I highly recomend it to any racer, any real racer:-)

Strength:

sound and looks better than n1 i think. Its shiny also, all the n1''s i''ve seen look all rusted and old.

Weakness:

sometimes in mine, it clicks to the bumper or something and so i have to get that checked, otherwise nothin...

I like it a lot... Deep sounding with no buzzing... Had it on for a while w/o my cai and it buzzed a lil but after i put my intake back in, it sounded way better. I''ve heard the n1 on a prelude w/o intake and it sounds kinda loud but not throaty and buzzed? but it didn''t have an intake... looks i prefer the fireball but the fireball muffler is too small...

Fireball for 1 day before it got stolen... fireball wasn''t as loud and the muffler seemed to small.
