This has nothing to do with your reply. but I know the JIC is lighter, not sure about weights, I think that's been answered tho.

But a question.
Does anyone actually a Tanabe Exhaust system, I was looking for a sound clip, searched on youtube, streetfire, google, and couldn't find it.

And have heard nothing about this exahust, anyone have a sound clip? or own a medallion?

 

i just posted this... last post on the first page....

 

I apologize, did not realize you were the author for this thread; I though that post (regarding calling tanabe) was from a different user.

I was also inquiring if any sound clips exist for the Tanabe exhaust?

 

not of the Ultra Medallion.

there is a sound clip of the Tanabe Hyper Medallion on myspace

FYI, Tanabe Ultra Medallion is 24lbs IN THE BOX!!!! That's shipping weight.

i have one coming up here early next week and will post pics and weight info to help with more accurate info.

Thanks, Rishie

 

last time I checked it was under a $300 difference on the lowest prices I could find

thanks Rishie

 

if your interested in the tanabe parts links here

oh shnap 24lbs is the shipping weight? i guess the guy on the phone just grabbed what ever weight was available... rish if you can find out the actual weight of the exhaust itself id greatly appreciate it

teamrx8, where are the cheapest prices youve found for each?

 

I have the best price on the Tanabe Medallion exhaust. hehe.

I'll definitely get you guys the information. This client was ordering through a cheaper place but switched over to us because of my

KILLER CUSTOMER SERVICE. hehehehe. Price isn't everything.

FYI, i'll be out of town on business Fri to tues. So don't get mad at me if i have trouble responding.

Are you guys referring to the JIC Single exhaust?

If so then the Tanabe has to be a good amount cheaper because there's a $600.00 difference in MSRP and the discounts are better on Tanabe anyways.

JIC = $1900.00

Tanabe = $1290.00

DIFFERENCE, Tanabe has SS piping and the JIC is FULL Titanium.

Thanks, Rishie

 

i believe the JIC isnt actually a single, its a dual

 

With a single muffler....

 

JIC is quieter too, our's is extremely quiet with the OE cat

 

$900 you say???

PM me w/ info if possible...

 

$900 for what??

how would the JIC be with an RP supercat?

 

i just called tanabe again to ask about how loud it actually is...they arent sure... but they do advertise that with the silencers you can get it under 95db.

the guy also told me the actual weight of the exhaust itself is indeed 20lbs, and 24lbs is the shipping weight

 

95db is still loud and it's got power robbing plugs in it? JIC please!

 

would you happen to know how loud the JIC actually is, and how loud itd be with an RP Supercat?

 

OK SO THE TANABE EXHAUST WITH HANGERS ETC.....

20.5 LBS.

In box it was 30.5 lbs, which sucks cause i was told 24lbs in box. I'll probably lose money now shipping this thing out.

so did anyone ever get the tanabe ultra medallion? any comments?

 

i dont think anyone has the ultra medallion, but if you search you can find soundclips of the super medallion or maybe it was the medallion touring.

But i've been searching for awhile and havent found an ultra medallion soundclips yet.

 

does anyone have the JIC ti mufflers and ss midpipe? they make 3 versions, full ss, full ti, and ss pipe w/ ti can. wondering how the sound is on that and the weight.

 

I can't say for an 8.. but i can for a subbie..

Our STi has the JIC full ti.. its very light and smaller compared to like a hks type muffler. The sound is definitly deeper than the hks carbon-ti it replaced since the titanium produces a different sound. I have a youtube of a subbie if that helps?
Our WRX had the Ultra Med.. it wasn't as loud but was really deep sounding. I also have a vid of that car too..

Out of the two.. JIC is what we would purchase again if we had to..

Here is the Link for the Sti just for a sound clip

yo scsi if you go on youtube and search "rx8 jic" you can find someone with the jic full ti exhaust and i believe hes a member also.

 

thanks for the tip man, sounds very nice in the vid(s). i wonder if the ss/ti version would sound the same. now i also gotta find out how much the ss/ti version weighs compared to the ultra medallion (~20lbs)

i also wonder how much louder itll be with the rp supercat

 

we have a full JIC Ti on DKNVs car, again with the OE cat it's not much louder than the factory exhaust driving around normal, has a bit more tuned sound at WOT and is still very quiet overall
