Looks like Tanabe recently came up with a new exhaust line up for Supra. It's called concept G blue.

Does anyone have this yet? There is a sound clip on the Tanabe website... it sounds pretty nice!

Sounds like a nice system, but I'd still stick to the Hks Ti.

Looks quite nice.

I'm looking for a new exhaust and this may suit.

I'd like to see how it sits as well as the Ultra Spec Titanium Medalion as the Racing Medallion IMO looks like it hasnt been put on properly

I have it on mine and I absolutely love it. I got it last summer actually, replaced my Tanabe Ultra Medallion with it. It's basically the Ultra Medallion system, but with a stainless steel muffler instead of the titanium muffler. I love the sound of the exhaust too, it's a great system. The only drawback with the Blue G is that they typically sell it with dp too, and you can't get just the catback. Not sure if that's still the case.

Why did you change from the Ultra Medallion? Is the weight increase between the two significant? Thanks!

I actually got rid of my Ultra Medallion cause I got rear ended and the tip was bent in slightly. The only problem I had with the Ultra Medallion is that I didn't really care for a Titanium finish. Some guys don't like it, but I wanted something polished, and luckily the Blue G had just come out. The only weight difference is in the muffler, as the catback pipe on both systems is the same. I did not weigh them, but I'd say there was about a 10-15 lb. difference in the Blue G being heavier. I don't really worry too much about weight though, the car looks much better with the Blue G on there in my opinion. And someone mentioned fitment... I found this to be true with my Ultra Medallion as well, but the Tanabes seem to hang a little lower and off to the center of the car. I used zip ties underneath on the muffler to get it exactly where I wanted. I have been told that guys have done this on many of the different exhaust out there though.
