With the same quad setup. That would be sick.

That's an M45 (aka Fuga) with a V8, so to get our RL to sound like that, we'd need to replace our J35 with a V8. I agree on the quad tips, though. Those look great!

wonder if that leaf was strategically placed there to fly into the camera...

Otherwise...why have a quiet RL interior if you're going to increase noise with different exhaust...

Does anyone know where I can find a muffler system that has quads? I have been looking around magnaflow and tanabe.

Question: What is the inlet size for the RL? Along with the Width,Length and Height for the tips. I think some cutting may have to be involved.

That sounds nice. If it were a CD I would buy it.

I can't wait 'til I get a V-8 with over 400 horses that'll sound like that. One day, one day...

I thought you going with the 5 Zigen setup, what happened?
If you want easy mod just look for quad tips and remove the muffler, it might sounds a bit loud but nice.

I wish I can post my exhaust sound clip here.

If you have a clip with video/sound, just upload to YouTube and link here. Alternately, if it's a small file, I can give you my gmail addy to email the link and I'll do the YouTube thing. I must hear your exhaust sound.


....and may I say that the Fuga's exhaust sounds like sex...

Go aftermarket with Magnaflow mufflers which are a tad deeper on tone vs Dynamax.

At least that is my setup shortly. Had the same on my SC300 years back and it sounded good.

No one is selling the 5zigen for less than $1500? Man, have the prices gone up on that, I wouldn't have paid $1500 either. No wonder you want me to move to a CTS-V so you can get mine!

Is there a Hyper Medalion setup for the RL/Legend? You have this? I've heard it on the S2000 and it's sweeeeeeeet, and not too loud.

I obviously need to go look at your thread.

Tanabe fan here, I recently bought a Medalion Touring for my S2000.

Hmm so you still keep the original resonators? They are four of those.

Hmm, working on that Bob, for some reason I couldn't upload it to the comp.
Still stuck on my phone.

there's no better exhaust sound than a V-8 on a ski boat early in the morning, water like glass, sitting in the water and waiting for that first wakeboard ride of the day

Got a few more months before that happens up here, until then I will enjoy the braap my sled makes when I crack it out of a turn and the VES opens up!
