Tanabe Medalion Exhaust with BERK HFC's Pics, Vids, Weights

The craftsmanship of the Tanabe exhaust is amazing, beautiful welds and the fitment is PERFECT! I for one would have been driven crazy if the tips didn't line up with each other, happy to say they look amazing. You are gonna be saving around 12 pounds with this setup over stock. I did the install myself in the garage without even having to jack-up the car. VERY VERY HAPPY with this purchase. Sound is amazing, very deep and menacing. In the first vid you can get a comparison of the stock exhaust with the BERK HFC's compared with the Tanabe Medalion with the BERK HFC's. That video was shot with a Canon digital elph camera in movie mode. The second video was shot with the Canon HG10 HD camcorder and is just a vid of the exhaust reving. I added a third video, also shot with the HD camera, of some drive-by's so you could get and idea of what they sound like under load. I also attached some pics for your enjoyment.
