Not so bad for the Greddy piping.

With a resonator and a mid muffler, and Tanabe's industry reputation for hushed exhaust tones, I'm gonna' guess it'll be quieter than even the Comptech. Probably only slightly louder than stage 3. The quality is likely top notch for sure.

This is what it sounds like on an AV6MT coupe:

Guy had it over at , liked it a lot. Mixed with the Fujita CAI I think it sounds awesome.

Quieter than CT, like anx said but probably not by much.

This would be my ideal catback. Too bad I just got the CT one installed.

The Tanabe MT is a great exhaust; it's quiet, guaranteed under 93 db. It's the perfect choice for someone who wants something similar in terms of fitment and exhaust note as the CT exhaust. So now there are 2 options for quieter exhausts.

So like the GReddy but less noise? Sounds almost too good to be true

The tips look exactly like Excelerate's! I still prefer the flat/wide cans on the Excelerate though.

And that Accord sounds great; a little louder than I expected.

looks like the left can/tip is a little lower than the right, seems to be common with most of the exhausts for these cars...must take some "fiddling" to get it just so
