Ready to buy some Tanabes!

I've decided to pull the trigger on some Tanabe Medalions, but I'm having trouble finding anything going for less that $750 before shipping. Is there anywhere I can find them for cheaper or is that the general going price for them? Any retailers on the forum selling them for less?

Also, I can upgrade the midpipe and y-pipe later so my system is a true cat-back, correct?

Thanks,
M

U can also buy used! I bought used and they are perfect ! I have upgraded to Tanabe Mid Pipe and waiting on the Y pipe! Tanabe I's amazing i can't believe the sound w Mid pipe and mufflers it really has an amazing tone. So far here I's what i spent and way worth it

Used mufflers : $500
Mid Pipe: $545 ( Great up grade , sound really changed w a smoother more aggressive tone) worth every penny.

Y pipe : currently I'm waiting on a deal for $475 shipped wich i will gladly pay but it's backordered till end of may!

Good luck man! Try EBay there are some vendors there also.

My goal I's to have a full Tanabe catback.

I was thinking about that too, but there's just something about a shiny, brand new exhaust. I saw a set go on eBay not too long ago for $530, I should have jumped on them. They had been used for a day, apparently, and they looked absolutely brand new. Where do I get the midpipe and y-pipe?

Yes it I's ! Mid pipe I's def a nice addition to mufflers . Took me forever to get a vendor who had it and finally i got one and i love it. Offer me any catback i would not trade my setup . No exhaust can touch the sound Tanabe gives . I love it !

Here I's the number ! Talk to Rick (310) 618-8886 company I's called VIP something lol he I'n LA
He I's I'n socal! He gave me best deal and fast shipping.

Agreed with VossenG37S, we both got the Midpipe from the same vendor. Honestly, adding the midpipe takes the exhaust tone to a different level I'm very happy with my current set up waiting anxiously for the Ypipe to complete to a full Tanabe CBE!! Worth every penny those in the fence for this go for it.

Got mine used in this forum for ~$400, with less than 2K miles on them.
I'm very happy with them.

Have you checked Amplified and all the other vendors here?

I love the sound of my set up now, (with just Tanabe exhausts)...how does the mid-pipe change the sound? louder? throatier?

All of the above ! Smoother throatier just flat out meaner ... No
Joke u will notice a big change . Mufflers alone were by far so sick and nice sounding, but like Boosah said it takes it to the next level. If someone offered me Fast int new or ARK i wouldn't trade ever , i even had a great opportunity to get ARK for under 1k new and turned it down cause Tanabe the ****. I owned Fast int both CF mufflers and SS w X pipes and Tanabe keeps me happier)

haha same here, looking for tanabes for around $750 or less before shipping, but seems like the retailers that I've searched online with those prices seem to not have them in stock. I guess we're just going to have to wait lol.

Yeah, contacted Lou@Amplified, and he quoted me $850.... I could get a whole Invidia system for that price.
