Tanabe Touring Medallion and RS*R ExMag 2 exhausts

With thanks to Paul Whiffin for sourcing my new Tanabe Touring Medalion exhaust (came from the states - took a couple of weeks to arrive) and at a great price (free plug!), I was able to get it fitted yesterday. I took these pictures which I hope may be of interest.

 

This exhaust replaced my RS*R ExMag GT2 exhaust - which I loved - but was not quite so loved by the wife. In fact, I quite often found that the droning noise coming from the passenger seat, spoiled my enjoyment of the noise coming from the exhaust. ;)

The exhaust is all in SUS304 stainless steel with polished centre and back boxes. The pipework (80mm) follows the left leg of the original OEM exhaust and is terminated by a 110mm tip (actually slightly larger than the RS*R).

 

The guys at my local HiQ fitted it for £20 cash and were very admiring, not of the quality of manufacture (which almost goes without saying - this exhaust is a work of art!) but of the quality of fitment - straight on, no messing, perfect fit.

 

As expected, this exhaust is significantly quieter than the RS*R but still sounds satisfyingly 'powerful' and Supra-like! :)

For the sake of completeness, here's some pictures of the old exhaust, after a rinse and a quick rub with the Autosol (no genie appeared unfortunately).

 

In amazingly good condition considering where it's been: some light surface rust to the flange/fittings (now treated with KuRust), the inevitable tar spots on the back box (now all gone) and one scratch along the bottom that must've made the previous owner clench his teeth but is purely cosmetic and not visible when fitted to the car (I had no idea it was there until I came to use the Autosol).

Yes, the RS*R is already sold (just got to work out how to get it from Yorkshire to South Wales in one piece) ...

I'll be in Sheffield next weekend and live near Worcester (about an hour from Cardiff), if that's any use to you I'm happy to help.

Cheers mate - that's very decent of you but I'm still a long way from Sheffield, unfortunately.

 

However, I'm going to take it down to Nottingham on Friday - one step closer I hope.

ok, well if you change your mind just drop me a PM before next weekend :thumbs:
