going to get a new exhaust, will probably choose something quiet. Heard TRD and Tanabe Medellion Touring Make a nice n quiet axle back. Which one do you guys would recommand? Thanks

I recently installed the TRD axleback exhaust on my TC and love the sound. Its quiet at cruising, but has a deep tone when getting on the throttle. Definitely not raspy at all.

Tanabe Medallion Touring ftmfw. Best exhaust I've had in terms of "quiet-power" :)

I wouldn't say an axle-back is giving you much if any power. Get what you think sounds best.

I have a strup header, invidia s-pipe, custom mid-pipe and hks hi power, but recently got 2 modified exhaust tickets, so really need to get something quieter. Regarding power concern, in my experience, the fart can exhausts will lose the low end torque.. so which one should I really get? I am hving a headache of choosing exhaust rite now...

axleback wont give you ANY power at all. but if your looking for a quiet exhaust but still a nice sound look into the Greddy SE i love mine.

Agreed. I think the TRD sounds terrible.

Before more people chime in about axleback hp gains. I was using quiet-power as a spin off to fire-power. :) But then that makes my post not make any sense at all. Nvmd, please continue :rolling:

Youtube!!!!!! Listen to the many variations. Alot of us have only experienced 1 or 2 exhaust combinations so really wouldnt be able to compare setups or variations. Your best bet is to go on youtube and start listening to as many exhaust clips as you can find!!! I have a Tsudo 4-2-1 header with spipe and cel eliminator, Tsudo Midpipe with additional 14' spiral resonator, and a HKS axleback and it sounds good with no rasp. I have nothing to compare it to though, so good luck!

Actually you should get the Greddy TI-C exhaust. It has a great deep tone and its made from quality material. The titanium material used in the Greddy TI-C exhaust is a silver-gray material with an atomic number of 22 and an atomic weight of 47.90. It has a density of 4510 kg/m 3 , which is somewhere between the densities of aluminum and stainless steel. It has a melting point of roughly 3,032°F (1,667°C) and a boiling point of 5,948°F (3,287 C). It behaves chemically similar to zirconium and silicon. It has excellent corrosion resistance and a high strength to weight ratio.

Greddy only uses the most exotic elements to make their Greddy TI-C exhaust. Elements only found at the top of the appalachian mountains. So yes, this is the exhaust to buy.

I have one for sale, PM me for details.

I have thought of the greddy TI C, n like the sound. but the problem is, how loud is in the cabin, my HKS hi-power makes me can't talk in the car n gave me 2 tickets lol... so yeh, the cabin noise is also my concern.

But if you want a quality exhaust that offers more then the standard OEM styling, Greddy TI-C is the way to go lulz. Greddy SE is ok, not a bad choice but like I said, if you want to be awesome and if you want to have a hot girlfriend...GREDDY TI-C is the way to go.

I wouldn't say the Greddy TI-C exhaust is ridiculously loud but its not exactly quite when you open your throttle. The exhaust comes with a silencer if your worried that it would attract too much attention. Its quite on idle.

HKS exhaust sucks in my opinion. The angle is horrible.

OP, you might want to also look at the the apexi-WS II/ it looks pretty nice and its priced less than the comparable looking tanabe medallion. i believe there was a sponsored sale for it for 458 shipped.

I really like the Apexi WS-II. Looks and sounds great, but not many people have it on their car.

just checked the Apexi out, it looks similar to the TRDs.
