Though I'd share a few photos of my new TRD exhaust. It was made for the RS 7.0 Murasaki.

I had Aaron at Supreme Muffler in Lomita, CA install it for me. He fabbed up a custom hanger for the center mount because the non RS xb's don't have one there. Ours is mounted to the side. To attach the hanger securely he drilled through the wheel well instead of the sheet metal where the RS hanger is located.

Slightly louder than stock and really only noticeable if you know what stock sounds like. Growls just a bit at low RPMs and very quiet on freeway drives.

I was interested in the Tanabe Medalion but price was right so I went for it.

Does it change performance or just for looks. Is it like the TRD exhaust? Performance wise?

The RS 7.0 exhaust looks great....but would not work on my xB due to my trailer hitch....so I have the next best thing with the Tanabe Medalion.

Damn I hate the exhaust on my B but just do not want to deal with interior noise from a non-stock exhaust.
How is the interior noise at freeway speed ?

 

[surfMOMster]

Quiet on the freeway. At higher speeds the sound is no different than stock.

I have an aftermarket axle-back and I don't hear it on the highway. I can hear it when I start the car with my door open, and if I just rev it some, but around town theres no real difference.

I have the RS 7.0 and I only hear the growl at lower speeds, too. There are a couple of more horsepower listed on the info sheet because of the exhaust. Good choice and it looks great!

Good to know I am almost ready to decide on an upgrade .
