Custom Exhaust...could use some input

[fmicle]

I have the Tanabe Medallion which is advertised as "discrete" and "under 93 db" and is hecka loud Compared with the stock exhaust anyways. I sound-proofed the floor in the rear which improved the noise level in the cabin a bit, but it's still hecka loud

Did you change the piping...?

The medalion touring is quiet... but not quieter than stock. 93db doesn't mean quiet.. and of course when you change exhaust it'll be louder than stock. I've had MT on other cars and different exhaust on other cars.. and trust me Tanabe is pretty quiet.

They test these by revving up the car at certain rpm and measure the DB level.

Oh and you do know that the Medalion Touring is an axle back right...? Unless you have a different mid pipe that would be why it'll be loud.
