New Tanabe Exhaust install before it goes public

Got a call in Aug. from Tanabe to use my 2002 TL-S to get specs for their new exhaust system. They took the specs. and went back to Japan to build it. I finally got the call that they are done and they will be here from Japan to install the new exhaust. Dropped off the car on Thursday should be done this weekend. Cant wait to hear and see what it looks like, it will be sweet to have it before it goes out on the market. I'll let yah know when i get it back.

My baby is back with a deeper voice. Picked up the car with the newly installed Medalion Touring Catback Exhaust. The sound has a low deep tone esp. around 2000-2500 rpm's. I'm defiantly liking the new sound its not too loud but has a clean sound that matches our car. My car pics our up on their website

They haven't put up the sound but its very similar to the sound clip of the third gen. video.
