Default Hit and Run - New finished Pics!

Yea my tc got it today and the guy ended up driving off... Bastard but anyways since i have to pay at least 500.00 as my deductible so I figure I'm gonna go custom exhaust. and that should cover the deductible I was thinking tanabe but I know there are two diff ones offered for the tc. the medalion touring and the concept g. any suggestion or experience with these???

damn man, sorry to hear that, i hate people like that, maybe its just me but i was taught that if i did something wrong, you man up and face the consequences, and these hit and run bastards ruin it for everyone!

did u get any pics of it or get the license plates or anything?

and to add to the exhaust i think i like the concept g a lil better, i have heard of alot more people having the concept g than the medallion, but go with whatever you feel suits you best!

didn't get pics of his car and tried to get his plate# but didn't quite make it. I also gotta say toyota did a good job on the tc considering only the bumper and exhaust took the blunt the trunk came out unscathed

i just got the tanabe concept g exhaust installed the other day for my 2007 tc...it sounds amazing, it has a great deep low rumble and at cruising speeds its not loud enough to annoy. ill take some clips tomorrow and post them so you can hear what its like. i would highly recommend the concept g!

Check out the ARK...if you got a 500 dollar deductible, go for the full catback option...and this one will yield 12whp...i love mine and it is still my favorite upgrade

I honestly wish it was a little less money but looks nice a nice system I gotta see how much my insurance is willing to pay first to see if i can work it in somehow. I also wish it didn't have to come fedexground

I would say that i get around 5-7hp gain thats about it, it varies. It is only an axleback so of course it doesn't get as much as a full catback. I will say though that I feel a great improvement in the acceleration from idle as well as on the highway. I got it for $315 free shipping and a friend and I installed it, extremely easy.

Hey DraconistC, here is another clip of my exhaust. This clip was taken in a parking garage at my university. It resembles the actual sound of the exhaust a lot better than the other clip. Plus it shows the car when driving. Let me know what you think...

sounds good man and i'd be willing to say that 5-7 gain isn't too bad. I appreciate you posting the clip

Sorry to hear/see what happened to you, glad that the damage seems only superficial so the repairs won't take too long.

So you want an HKS huh? Heh, good choice, but beware get this exhaust only if you don't mind Attention.

104dB is pretty loud on a fully open throttle, and if you have headers or an S-pipe add some numbers to the above decible rating.

I love mine though, wouldn't trade it for anything.
