npotts Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Hi guys I noticed for the first time yesterday that my exhaust on my import NA has a name stamped on the side. Has anyone heard of 'Medallion' exhausts?? Are they any good? Thanks in advance for any info... Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Tanabe is the make - supposed to be fairly quiet I believe. Are they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
npotts Posted March 21, 2005 Author Share Posted March 21, 2005 erm its not too quiet, but not too loud either. I guess its more for the conservative type!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dRuNk-mEdIc Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Tanabe Racing Medallion. I think it was discontinued in the states, I would rather pick up a blitz, or HKS the seem to be more powerful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 complete oposite matey........well loud and very very deep, the racing medallion and hks hyper are the two loudest exhasts for the supra!! Quality exhaust I have one on mine sounds wicked Sorry mate but I disagree! I've heard many exhausts on TT Supra's and the Hiper is NOT among the loudest ones available. IMO from the ones I've heard: LOUD: Greddy TI: The dogs knackers RSR: The loudest I've ever heard bar none, very deep sound though the rev range Tanabe: Close to NUR at tick over, sounds like the RSR at higher rpm NUR: Also very loud, very nice burble at low rpm Medium: Hiper: One of the best sounding out there, but not too loud Kakimoto: Very similar to Hiper, sounds great Quiet: 5Zigen: Little bit louder than normal, slightly higher boost than stock Stock: QUIET!

Tom Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 Mike might mean the hks hiper ti, well should just be called the hks ti, that is the loudest one out there. I think the normal hiper sucks! thats what I have! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 True Tom, didn't think of the TI... The Hiper on your can sounded nice but it didn't help that you have both cats it in Get those buggers out of there mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 yeah maybe! I never used to but I think the nur sounds best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 The NUR sure does sound good, the only thing that put me off was the drone you get between 3k and 4k rpm and the clearance (if I'd have fitted it the council speed humps would have removed it by now!). The RSR has never caught on anything, in fact the chassis catches first! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DShox Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 Exhausts - funny bit of kit...sound is important but performance is everything. There was an article in Banzai a few months ago about this guy who bolted on a massive exhaust to his drift AE82 (?) Toyota Corolla. He basically experienced a drop in bhp until he reached about 7rpm (in other words - the car would be screaming!). The lesson is that there is an optimal exhaust configuration, shape, and size to fit the manifold that influences how the exhaust gas from the engine leaves and travels down the pipe. So a lil' 1.4L with a monster exhaust should lose hp as too little gas is produced and it just collects in the exhaust tubing...whereas a 4.2L monster may find that the same exhaust is too small and restrictive...OPTIMAL SIZE is best.
