I wish all mods were this easy. pics added

I put in an Tanabe Medalion Touring exhaust today. I took about 20-30 minutes including cleanup.
I just took it around the block to check it out. It is still pretty quiet, but a nice deep tone, and not any seat of the pants HP, but then again I didn't expect any from an axle back.
Its a real nice piece, there are gussetts at both ends of the muffler to the pipe and its got a pretty nice polish on everything. Too bad I'll probably only keep the tip looking good.

After


Not the most flattering image, the exhaust doesn't hang down or stick out as far as it looks in this pic. I'll try to get a better pic later.

Comparison

better pic

Okay here is a better angle. Well except for the reflection of me in it. But it gives a better idea on the fit of the exhaust. After a few days of driving I do notice it got just a bit louder but still pretty quite though.

if you guys hang around a bit, for the price of an axle-back, i'll be able to provide a full catback for around the same cost!!!
