If quietness and a stock looking dual tip is your objective then this is the exhaust to get. It is a straight through design so its as free flowing as any 75mm cat back. It is not as quiet as stock, you will notice it at 2500 rpm under load but not under light throttle cruising. The only downside is the steel construction.

I don't have any experience with it, but I've heard of many members on here running the Tanabe Medallion exhaust. Stock looks, quiet exhaust but a nice tone when you get on it.
I'm sure the members actually running it can give their input.

I've run the Tanabe exhaust on all three of my Supras, and I absolutely love it. The sound is very low, smooth, and quiet. Sometimes, I actually wish it was a bit louder even.

I'd take the Tanabe over the HKS (I have driven a car with the HKS before as well). They're approximately the same volume, but the Tanabe is a little be cheaper, easier to find/buy, and made out of stainless steel as opposed to mild steel. I've used the same exhaust system since about 2009 and it's still in fantastic condition.

So would you say that this is fine? I mean I would drive in the winter just because it's a daily driver in Georgia but hopefully it gets warmed up by just sitting there... Anyways, in your opinion, would you think this is a suitable exhaust? I personally don't like the loud sounds that most exhaust/mufflers emit when there is a high flow or 3". I'm looking for one that has the stock appearance, won't create that loud exhaust noise when you're just moving at 2-3k rpm at 30-45 mph lol.

I mean I'm open for other suggestions as well :)
This is a pretty old thread, but I had my LET-T16 ceramic coated and it has held up well in the winters now that I am back in Ohio where it gets cold. I don't drive in the snow that much though.

LET-T16 is the way to go. Give a good coat of protective paint if driving in the snow and salt. Had mine for years and still perfect though car has never driven in snow or salted roads.

What did the OP end up doing. 300RWHP is a walk in the park with minimal mods. Got rid of my cat and put in a test pipe with an electric cut out.

Made about 35 more HP with the cutout open. I did the old school LEX/550/Walbro/AFPR. Wide band and SAFC 2 and made 300 (maybe 294) at 13 psi. Stock turbo.

Did 343 at the same boost with the SP upgrade but got rid of it cause of the lag. Now running a DM 57 trim but never dynoed with that one. Figure about 320 or so at 15 psi
