I’ve done some searching and reading but I’d like to know:

Does anyone have any new information on the Tanabe exhaust?

It is listed on their web-site for $790 but no other information.

Also, does anyone have the Tanabe springs installed? Specifically, NF210.

If so…

How’s the ride?
What’s the drop (is it different from the specs per Tanabe)?
And, most importantly, do you have any pictures?

hmm seems they are making a Strut Brace and a Sway bar set for the car too.

Anyone else?

I'd also like to add (and ask): who has purchased Tanabe's products, specifically exhausts in the past. I'd like to know how their products are. I've heard they might be too "ricey" for an RX-8.

my friend has one of those tanabe medallion exhausts on his prelude. it's very loud i dont think its even street legal in most states nor meets with the db requirements of california. from what i've listened to... it does seem agressive, quite loud... im not THAT sure but i hear at highway cruising speeds it's pretty loud and attracts the cops . compared to a greddy evo(on another friend's integ) and from the greddy sp2 i've heard on this forum it has a deep sound, tho isn't as deep as the greddys. also it did rip a few of those "farts" when he was reving it from neutral.
