Greddy vs Tanabe

dalparadise · 04-23-2010, 12:19 AM

I've got the GReddy and love it. I get compliments everywhere I go. I've had strangers pull up beside me and lean out of their cars to ask me about the exhaust.

The car feels more powerful, even though I don't have numbers to back it up. The sound is amazing. It's deep and aggressive under load and whisper-quiet at cruise -- and that's on a Roadster!

I love the dichotomy of the over-the-top looks (big burnt tips) contrasting with the refined exhaust note (sounds as nice as any exotic I've ever heard). It rumbles on cold start up, growls on acceleration and roars at WOT. Throttle response is improved. Occasionally, on throttle lift, I get a subtle gurgle, which is the car reminding me she wants to run. I love listening to this exhaust.

Fit and finish are perfect in every way and it seems to be of the highest quality. Did I mention I dig this thing?

their canister type is different... what is the difference between the two? Beside the noise... like maybe power wise? Since the tanabe looks like each exhaust has its own muffler.

I wish there were more videos of the Greddy SE exhaust(rev,startup,drive by, etc). Not many vids onlines.

I'm sorry I misread your post...

Wow Tanabe list price is only $1390 VS. single canister from Greddy $1695. I definitely will go with Tanabe dual canisters all day long.

w00t I made my decision... It's obvious anyways... Just gotta wait for the money to roll in!

One thing I noticed, the Tanabe system reuses the stock Y-pipe. They have their own upgraded Y-pipe but it's extra (I think $500+ msrp). You may be better off with another system, at least for the money.
