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:

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?

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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!
