Default Review: Tanabe Medallion Concept G Axleback

I just changed my exhaust from TSUDO fireball axleback to the Tanabe Medallion Concept G Axleback.
This post is for those who are planning to buy this exhaust so that you can be familiar with the sound of the exhaust and the look.

Video clip:
-TSUDO Fireball Axleback (On sale if you look at the classified section)

-Fitment
The fitment for the medallion was great. If you do not have a lip kit for the rear, than you will not have the problem of the exhaust hitting the bumper. IF you have the rear lip kit, it MIGHT touch the bumper a little, but you can probably fix it by putting in a cap between the rubber hangers I also want to mention that the fit is not 100% perfect b/c i took out the oem gasket to make the axleback fit perfectly. I'm satisfied with what I got and hope this post helped for those who are planning to get this exhaust

I love my tanabe, but I dont know why you had to take out the oem gasket to make it fit perfectly because I used the gasket and mine fits perfect.
