Tanabe Medalion

[bebeelo]

which one is better? tanabe touring(axel-back) or concept g(axel-back)? do they have different specs? im asking this because i was given an offer of 170 bux for a used concept g 207-2011. here are the pics of the used concept g. i was actually thinking of the touring, but the price of the concept g is getting to me so....give me whatever thoughts you guys have in mind. btw, the exhaust comes as-is so is there anything i have to get/buy for it cause i have a 2012 yaris se.

[TrYaris]

This should fit on your 2012 yaris... I've ordered mine and will get it next monday (I guess) I bought Tanabe medalion touring. I don't think there is really hudge difference between those exept the sound they make. Just check some video on youtube about people who installed the concept G and Touring and choose the one you prefer !

They've installed the concept G on a yaris 2012, its the sound testing. All you wanna know will be there http://www.tanabe-usa.com/rnd/category/2012-Yaris.aspx

thanks a lot TrYaris! =} i did some research and i just found out that the concept g is slightly louder than the touring, and comes with the same gain as well. although i was aiming for the touring, i can't beat the price on the concept g that i was offered

[TrYaris]

I hope you will find what you want and it will worth it :) I can't wait to have my touring :thumbup:

[DJYojimbo]

Yeah i'm saving up for a tanabe touring exhaust too for my 2012 SE! :thumbup:

[TrYaris]

Nice :) For now i'm saving up for DcSport header + Cold air intake (AEM). My friend told me to keep my shortram because it does a really great sound and dont take that much dust compare to the cold air intake... I'm still thinking about it:iono:

go for the AEM CAI.:thumbsup:

[WeeYari]

The G is definitely louder. I got my Medalion used from a member who thought he would prefer having a G. In short order, he regretted getting rid of the Medalion.

[DJYojimbo]

I have an AFE short ram intake and i love the sound! I don't have to worry about hydro lock. Saving up dc headers and microimage light weight crank pulley!

His/her loss, your gain :headbang: hm....in your opinion, the concept g doesnt sound like a fart can does it? i've seen videos of dyno runs and demos of how the concept g sounds. but because you own one yourself, is it as loud as people say? does it bother neighbors? can u still have a conversation in the car with the noise?

I have the Medalion Touring not the G.

I've not personally heard the G, I just know from what others have said that it is loader.

The Medalion Touring does not affect the ability hold a conversation in the car. Cruising, it is only a drone. Gun it and she'll growl nicely. I do have a video up on Youtube taken from inside the car while driving.

I also prefer the tip on the Touring. While the tip on the G screams 'fart can', the Touring states 'nice tip'.

^ Oval tip is really nice

lol looks like i have to get a resonator....you guys know what kind?

[auxmike]

I have the touring. Quiet, but you know it's there when you stomp the pedal! It's put together like a fine watch. I bought it from GARM and I suggest everyone here does too because he won't play games with you or rip you off...
That concept G is such a good deal though...

[bebeelo]

Im actually looking into Garm's tanabe/tien springs and sway bars. they are at the best price that i've seen.

[cali yaris]

That combination will feel like a completely different (and better) car.

I like the oval tips better. I think this exhaust looks pretty ricey.

[tooter]

It totally cracks me up when you guys use the terms "ricey" and "fart can"! :laugh:

[1.5]

lol In Tampa I have too look at like dawooe's all day running around sporting those giant egg roll launchers and I dont want to see a Yaris succumb to that.

[jpmck03]

... giant egg roll launchers ...

:laughabove: :laugh: :bellyroll:

Now that's a new term I've never heard before!

[DJYojimbo]

So did the touring medallion fit?

That sounds too good, what other mods do you have on ur car?

[bebeelo]

So did the touring medallion fit?

Yes, it perfectly fits like a G:laugh: however, the tip isn't centered perfectly under the bumber if u look closely. i apologize as well for the bad lighting, but you get the picture. the cabin noise is actually great after i got used to it. i guess i was still used to the dead silence of the stock exhaust lol. i've never heard of the medalion touring, but i believe the concept g is louder as they say. overall, it's satisfying.

[bebeelo]

lmao i was seriously thinking twice about getting the medalion touring over the concept g, but i couldn't beat the price of the offer that was given to me for it. plus, i wanted to see in person if it really does sound like a fart can. believe me, i was SUPRISED to hear an agressive growl at idle, hearing the car from outside as it takes off sounds ~smooth~ i can't really explain it in words, but if u could compare a greddy with the concept g, the greddy will definetly be farting.

[bebeelo]

i don't mean to be off topic but, i just got my header installed last week. the only thing i didn't get to screw on was a nut that holds a metal braket and the header together. the picture below that has a red arrow explains it. when i step on gas, i can hear a rattle. will that rattle affect anything in the future?

[DJYojimbo]

looks sweet! I'm gonna attempt the touring on mine in a couple of months hopefully april or may

that sounds awsome! please post up your pictures of the medalion touring when you get it :thumbsup: im sure you'll get it installed in less than 45 minutes.

[DJYojimbo]

did u do ur install yourself? 45 minutes too?

[bebeelo]

did u do ur install yourself? 45 minutes too?

yup. probably a good 40 minutes. i took 20 minutes trying to unbolt the nut that has springs around them(idk what they're called). but other than that, it was simple putting on the new exhaust. just a reminder, you should use wd-40 or soap to get the hooks off of the rubber mounts. they're a pain in the :eek:

[DJYojimbo]

:bow: :respekt: Thank You for the advice Bebeelo! Most appreciated!

[DJYojimbo]

Man it does look low though. hopefully no scraping on the road.

[bebeelo]

oh yeah it really does though. but no worries i don't plan to drop it. i'm more into the engine work :headbang:

[DJYojimbo]

:clap: yeah i'm the same way as u man!

[DJYojimbo]

Mr Bebeelo does the sound of the exhaust interfere when using the bluetooth in your car when talking to someone on the phone?

Tanabe Medalion Touring in cabin. If I'm following your threads correctly, the Touring is what you are planning to get.

Bebeelo has the Concept G installed. His is a considerably loader exhaust.

[DJYojimbo]

Thank You Weeyari

i usually turn my blutooth volume up to "20~40" on the stock stero. i can still hear through the phone/blutooth just as fine with the exhaust booming. when i'm on the freeway, i turn it up to 45~54. thats just me though:thumbup:

[DJYojimbo]

:respekt: Thank You Mr Bebeelo!
