Exclamation Installed Tanabe Hyper Medallion!

Finally got around to install my exhaust. To those of you who are wondering if the Accord V6 exhaust fits the TL, they DO. but you'll need an adapter to extend it because the exhaust is for the coupe so it's gonna be short for the TL. The sound is so LOUD!!! I'm sure it's louder than yours AC!! It's very low and aggressive! I'm not sure if I can live with it because I drive a lot on the freeway. It's so loud around 2000-3000rpm but when it gets above 3000 all you can hear is the intake! If I can't get used to it then I'll probably have to change it to Apexi WS because they say it sounds very nice and not loud at all. So if any of you want a cat back, the Accord V6 fits!
Also I notice the exhaust is a little uneven, is there anything i can do to fix it?

Try to slightly bend the muffler hanger on the muffler that is sitting lower.

i'd like to hook up with you Don to take a look. I am interested in seeing how the Tanabe sits on the TL. Does the chrome mufflers look fat from behind?

Don
Can you also take pix of your fogs? I'm intersted in how 1700X looks on TL and where you put them.
You live in Daly City? Dayum, make sure you don't drive itto those *infamous* cities in the Bay Area. You'll get pulled over in no time by those anal cops! Watch out of cities like Fremont, Milpitas... (Knock on wood... I don't mean to jinx ya.)

milpitas and fremont have those races at night weekly so the cops are always anal about that

Sure, I'll take pics of my whole car so you guys can see!

Oh yeah, two nights ago when my girl was driving my car, a cop followed her for a long time. I'm sure if I was driving the car, i would've gotten pulled over for sure!
