View Full Version : Very Very bad luck
superwhiteTC20 03-11-2008, 01:30 AM Ok so I've been looking for an exhaust since I can remember joining here. I was finally settled on getting the Tanabe Concept G and I was absolutely in love with it. Well I'm 16 and its baseball season meaning little to no work, so I was saving all I could for it. Just last weekend I finally got enough saved up:nails: , and on March 1st, the price went up $150 :tap: . Now I have no idea what to do, so I only have one option and thats to come to you guys for help cause everyone on here just has the best ideas. So help me out, I want an exhaust that sounds just like the Tanabe with around the same cost. What do you think about either the TRD or Precission Muffle???
Please let me know your honest opinions, I have no idea what to do now...thanks! :clap:
xCxHxRxIxSx 03-11-2008, 01:58 AM precission makes good exhaust . trd doesnt make much more performance than stock
thepnub 03-11-2008, 02:00 AM You really want that Tanabe. And ill tell you now... Tanabe is worth the wait.
Save up and get your Tanabe. Then post a vid on Youtube for me.
:)
CSOCSO 03-11-2008, 02:25 AM megan racing cat back................. cheap.. sounds and looks good..
superwhiteTC20 03-11-2008, 02:31 AM With exhaust, you aren't going to get much power out of it anyways, I just want one that looks clean (not like the HKS with is outrageous angle) or greddy which you can fit a grapefruit in and i want a deep tone, NO RICE PLEASE lol. With the megan do you have it?
BZinn1 03-11-2008, 02:52 AM the Megan I heard a couple weeks back sounded like my TRD.....the owner had a CAI instead of SRI like I have........I have a bigger roar out of mine than he did....but most of that came from the Weapon R intake..........not sure why........but my intake at times feels louder than the exhaust........Megan sounds really good though.
superwhiteTC20 03-11-2008, 03:05 AM well with your trd, is it a much more noticable roar, but without being too loud. I plan on going F/I this summer and I just want an exhaust that will let people know, yea I'm quick lol.
BlckdOutTC 03-11-2008, 03:13 AM get teh megan. this thing roars more than anything out there. Deepest tone ive heard for our car and its a full catback, not jsut an axle back. wellll worth it!!! and you wont be dissapointed
holaplaneta 03-11-2008, 03:13 AM i say wait for the tanabe u wont b dissapointed
superwhiteTC20 03-11-2008, 03:15 AM megan, tanabe, megan, tanabe :nails: this is going to be one hard decision. Only this throwing me off, is everyone else paid 300 for their tanabe's why should i have to pay 500???
BlckdOutTC 03-11-2008, 03:25 AM WHAT?!?!?!?! 500 for an axle back! you gotta be out of your mind lol. please go megan lol. save 150$ and dont wait long at all for it
holaplaneta 03-11-2008, 03:28 AM 450 at showstoppers, still kinda high, i think its worth it, but for that much go for medallion touring!
xCxHxRxIxSx 03-11-2008, 03:31 AM got my agency power exhaust from a guy on here for 350 bucks . amazing deal should be coming soon
precision duals <3333 never regret getting it
superwhiteTC20 03-11-2008, 04:13 PM Ok so I have a guy where i can get the TRD exhaust for $360, do you guys think I should do that, I have that money and have heard nothign but god things about it...yes or no?
StreetStarsTc 03-11-2008, 04:29 PM for 150 your better off with a tsudo and its probably obnoxiously louder than the tanabe. im not sure. i have magna flow catback and its pretty good. i want a 3" =/
xCxHxRxIxSx 03-11-2008, 04:52 PM trd is more for sound not to perform
yellowxhoodie 03-11-2008, 06:11 PM got my agency power exhaust from a guy on here for 350 bucks . amazing deal should be coming soon
damn dude. ageny power for $350 is an insaaaanely good price!
im jealous! lol
but i got the Tsudo N1 Catback
its not to bad, i would def. recommend it for the price.
SP8TC 03-11-2008, 06:26 PM i payed 190 for my tanabe concept g, thanx to an ignorant seller on ebay. brand new too. apparently the guy had no history as a seller, was just starting up, so no one wanted to take the chance in bidding on an item for such a cheap price. i won it, but it took 3 weeks to get it since he 'ran out' at his shop the same week. just got lucky i guess.
superwhiteTC20 03-11-2008, 11:37 PM trd is more for sound not to perform
Well all i really want is a deep rumble...there is not an exhaust out there thats gonna give you any noticable gain in hp so i just want to give my baby that mean growl and make my car sound more agressive
xCxHxRxIxSx 03-12-2008, 02:35 AM agency claims 6whp and 10wtq they have dyno charts of it . after i put it on ill let you know how much it really gains
but trd sounds nice but dont get it if your planing on gettin a header
BlckdOutTC 03-12-2008, 02:41 AM spend half the money and get megan, search scion tc megan drift spec on youtube, plenty examples come up
superwhiteTC20 03-12-2008, 03:31 PM I keep looking at the megan and listening to it, has a really nice sound but i just can't get over the angle, i don't want an exhaust that angles out like that, just a nice clean looking exhaust.
dannygenio 03-12-2008, 03:37 PM Interested in a used TANABE concept G axle back for $300?
dannygenio 03-12-2008, 03:39 PM that;s shipping price included
superwhiteTC20 03-12-2008, 03:51 PM pm sent :clap:
superwhiteTC20 03-12-2008, 03:59 PM ok well no luck anywhere, and i still can't make up my mind on what to get, how are the greddy systems?
xCxHxRxIxSx 03-12-2008, 06:23 PM they are over priced for an axel back . tanabe is 345 shipped from a site i looked at . later today ill send link
superwhiteTC20 03-12-2008, 06:25 PM which site is that?
TheMerovingian 03-12-2008, 07:48 PM something you might want to consider....
you mentioned in an earlier post that you plan on going f/i this summer. If you're still doing this, go with Dezod's turbo exhaust. It will give you a nice deep rumble and free up a bunch for your turbo setup.
I do plan to go turbo myself, but not for another year atleast, which is why I have the magnaflow catback now. Once I do go turbo I'm going to get the Dezod turbo exhaust. If I was planning on doing it as soon as you claim to be I would work on turboing the car first and full exhaust later or at the same time.
xCxHxRxIxSx 03-13-2008, 02:09 AM sent u a pm with the site that has tanabe at 317 still jump on it for all others this is the link . get it before price jump

x_Batman_x 03-13-2008, 05:48 AM What do you guys think of the single tip Precision Muffler axel-back? I think the tip looks sick! Hows it sound?
ARIZONA-TC 03-13-2008, 06:19 AM get a skunk2 they sound awesome and are catback pm if you want a STEAL of a price!!!
bobbystc88 03-13-2008, 05:39 PM HKS Hi Power
superwhiteTC20 03-13-2008, 08:51 PM idk why but i just don't like that exhaust, now don't get me wrong its a great exhaust, just not my type.
superwhiteTC20 03-14-2008, 06:56 PM Well after a ton of searching and talking to alot of people about it, I decided to save up more for the tanabe...when all of the sudden!!! BAM, Fastscions.com is running a tax refund sale on it now! best price around and def. great service for ya!
Thanks for everyones opinions!
superwhiteTC20 03-15-2008, 11:18 PM Ordered today, shipped today, hopefully will have pics up this week...thanks again everyone!

superwhiteTC20 03-22-2008, 06:14 AM I got my Tanabe Concept G in the mail yesterday and installed it this morning. Took about 30 min. to do and the only pain was the bolts. God those sucked. Other than those everything was a breeze to install. Its an amazing exhaust and would recomend it to everyone. Even though the HP gains aren't huge i can definitely feel my car breathing better which is nice. I'll have pics up soon!
