I have the medallion touring. Nice deep tone, absolutely no fart can rasp at all. Never had any drone. And quiet enough I've never been black flagged at the track during quiet hours.

Here is my car with a custom ws2 exhaust. It is a 3in ws2 muffle with a 12in resonator in the exhaust. My impressions, very very loud out the back of the car. Inside the car it is very quiet. Much much quieter then my previous unknown normal slant can exhaust.

Here it is with a fp black. With the black the car almost sounded like a turbo diesel, turbo was very loud, turned the a/c on and it would sound like a 6.0 diesel with a straight exhaust at idle. lol

Here it is once I went 6266. the car was just straight honda sounding. Still very quiet inside, all the noise went out the back.

homemade, 2 @ 4x16" resonators into a 7" round x 16" straight thru muffler.

I then modified this cuz a neighbor was complaining of early morning starts for a dynomax flapper muffler =

I have a Tanabe on another one of my cars, I picked that over the WS2 because the WS2 seems to have that annoying whistle/tin noise to it. The Touring Medallion keeps its pitch consistent the whole way through the rev range.

I have a Perrin with a test pipe and cams. It's not bad and tolerable but I am also in a quest to quite it down a bit. Would a resonator help and what I need a retune?

I'm thinking of running the Tanabe Medallion with a test pipe.

I've got the early apexi ws2 exhaust (full stainless) which came with my car when I imported it from Japan. Initial thoughts it behaved like a stock exhaust in sound when stock when cruising on the hwy(no drone). Not overly load compared to the hks hi power silent. Compared to other cars with similar set ups mine is quiter then their's. Since I have done heads and cam with a full 3' exhaust it is still quiter then a stock AMG C63 or mild worked v8. All I know that the ws2 exhaust is not popular as it was expensive and it looked like a larger version of the stock one. Another option is to look at the xforce as it is simular to ws2 but the mid pipe is stainless not mild steel.

Cheers
