Tanabe Concept G Blue EVO Turboback Exhaust
How does this exhaust compare to some of the other popular ones out there (i.e. Buschur's, HKS, Turbo XS)?
I couldn't find an Intake/Exhaust forum here so I wanted to ask to get some input.
Thanks

Then why do I get so many different types of advice when I talk to people.
Try to read my username it is really where I am with my EVO.
I am not an idiot but I can't seem to clear up the mud when trying to figure out which one is better or worse.

^^^dude, we're all in the same boat unfortunately. there are no reliable comparisons of evo TBE's. just find a 3" that looks and sounds the way you want it. go to norcalevo for sound clips.

1. There are plenty of exhausts out on the market that are advertised as 3" turbo-back exhausts. Upon more careful inspection, some of these exhausts taper down to 2.75" at the flanges then go back to 3". Also, some exhausts have a inner-diameter that's smaller than 3" and have a 3" outter-diameter. Also, some exhausts use a smaller than 3" inlet for their mufflers.
2. Exhausts systems are generally made out of three metal types... mild steel, stainless steel, or titanium... and sometimes a combination of the three. If weight matters, which it does to some, this could be a big impact. If future rusting matters, again, this could be a big issue.

ok ok so it's 98% true. not sure how different metals can restrict flow. i understand rust can restrict flow, but lets use ceteris paribus, all exhausts equal. lets say we are comparing a 3" titanium, 3" alluminum, 3" stainless steel. there are no neck downs. it's a full 3" all the way through. do you think there will be a difference in performance between the 3?

I guess I ask this because in my mind I was sold on the BR tbe with their new bullet muffler (no cat by the way)
And I have talked to a few people in person and they have suggested to not get the BR tbe?
So maybe I am just trying to figure out why someone would say that??

Consider the Tanabe to be comparable in quality and performance to most Japanese exhausts like HKS, GReddy, Apexi, etc. Tanabe's newer exhausts are typically on the quiet side.
Their website has a lot of excellent information on it.
That said, the Buschur and AMS units are excellent parts as well.

Jack,
I have read the stuff on their site and listened to this exhaust on a subie wrx. It was the only sound clip for this exhaust. I must say that it did not sound quiet at all. It really sounded mean to me. So all things equal (diameter size, cat delete) really all exhaust systems perform the same??
