Tanabe Medalion - Toyota Yaris Forums

bebeelo · 11-22-2012, 03:49 AM

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.

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 · 11-22-2012, 04:44 AM

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

DJYojimbo · 11-22-2012, 04:53 AM

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

TrYaris · 11-22-2012, 04:57 AM

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

go for the AEM CAI.

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 · 11-22-2012, 01:24 PM

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

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'.

cali yaris · 11-22-2012, 05:01 PM

^ Oval tip is really nice

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

auxmike · 11-22-2012, 08:59 PM

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 · 11-22-2012, 09:17 PM

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

cali yaris · 11-22-2012, 11:23 PM

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

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