Anyone have it installed on their xA or xB? I'm debating on getting either this or the RSR exhaust. I've had good experiences with Tanabe products, and love the style of their exhaust compared to others. But I'm worried if it might be too loud.

Tanabe Exhaust

Any advice is greatly appreciated :D Pics would be even better!

 

I had it on my xB. Its low, throaty and quiet. The ONLY reason why I changed, center exit exhaust.

 

 

Thanks for the info squirrel ^^ Low, throaty, and quiet sounds like music to my ears!

For 400 shipped it better be worth it too :D Any close up pics so I can see the style of the tip and canister?

 

I can take a pic of the system and have it posted om monday. Too busy right now w/ the kids and holidays.

I definitely think its worth it.

 

squirrel, how loud (sound level) is the exhuast compared to the stock's ?

 

I measured it at 78 dB at 3,500 rpm.

 

Thank you for your info squirrel I appreciate it.

But I still have no idea how loud is 78dB :? . I am also looking for a quite exhaust, something that is comparable or a little more than the stock's sound level. please help me also

 

Lower, throatier, and slightly louder than stock. But not mnuch loudeer at all. In fact, spinning at 4k rpm on the freeway, I hear the air being sucked by the short ram, more than I ever hear the exhaust.

Not as loud as a Magnaflow, and way quieter than a canister like what is found on Honduh's. In fact, when I warm up the xB, it didn't rumble inside the passenger compartment, like the Magnaflow does now.

The Tanabe is really nice, and the only reason why I changed it out was because I went center exhaust. I had even thought about cutting off the piping and making it fit to do what I have now. But the muffler had an offset exit point and is slightly larger than the Magnaflow I'm using now.

 

Great info!, squirrel. Thank you very much. Looks like I have to buy one of this for my next mod

 

Perfect description! Thanks squirrel :D

I've had one too many loud exhausts in my last few cars, (catback DTM, Dual borla) this time around I need something that won't set of 7 car alarms when I drive in a parking lot @_@

I want something that's very clean sounding and not too deep or throaty that it causes vibrations around the car. Seems like this will be just the right setup!

 

You are all welcome!

If you would have asked me at least two months ago, I could have made a sound clip or something.

Don't forget to get a new exhaust gasket when replacing the axleback.

 

squirrel, where do I get the exhaust gasket. Is it a generic one, or OEM?

Thanks

 

The OEM gasket can be found at any dealership, the part number is 90917-06082

 

Kong, its OEM. Unfortunately can only be found right now at dealerships unless a shop buys it direct from them.

 

Thanks for the info, stylis, squirrel

 

cloudnine and king, I'll take pics and post them up as soon as it stops raining.
