Default Greddy Sp2 or Tanabe Medallion touring?

Which one is more quiet?

I know they're both supposed to be pretty quiet, but is one louder than the other?

Anyone have these exhausts? There arent many pictures of the tanabe touring. I'd love to see it on the tC.

I like the look of both of them and the fact that they're quality brands.

But I'm not spending $450 for something that is going to sound like stock.

I want something that has a nice rumble, but won't wake up the neighborhood or attract cops.


Thanks for you help.

This means do not suggest any other exhausts...... Just discuss the Greddy SP2 or Tanabe....NOTHING ELSE

That is all thank you everyone

i had the SP2 and it is VERY quiet, i wish i had gotten something with a little more sound to it....which i eventually did. the SP2 isn't much louder than stock in my opinion, i had to try pretty hard to hear it.

x2 on the SP2. I had it for about 5k miles, with no intake and enjoyed the slight aggressive tone it had over stock but once I installed my intake it was like the exhaust disappeared.

I have the SP2. It's been on for like 20k miles and really hasn't gotten any louder. I like it because you hear it when you want to and not when you don't.

thanks. That's what I've been hearing that sp2 is very quiet. What I really want to know is if tanabe medallion touring is just as quiet or slightly louder than sp2

Thanks guys. I went with the medallion touring. I really liked the tanabe concept G, but I don't like the big canister look, so hopefully the touring sounds just as good

are you planning on getting headers mid-pipe and stuff like that? if you are the sp2 we get loud so you rather get the tanabe. I have the concept G on my car now love it quiet when i want and loud as hell when i want too

The medallion touring stays pretty quiet even after swapping out your header and midpipe

Nope I don't plan on getting headers or a midpipe. Just gonna stick with the axel back.

I actually ordered the tanabe medallion touring because i love the concept G but wasn't too into the canister look.

I hope it sounds just as great
