I have the original Tanabe Medallion Touring. Paired with a 3SX downpipe and Test Pipe.
I don't have a decibal reader, but it is noticeably louder than stock by about 50-75%. On a quiet day (like a Sunday morning), you can hear the car outside idling unless you're like in a basement. It's definitely not an exhaust that is loud enough to wake someone up however.
During WOT, compared to stock, it seems to be at least twice as loud if not a little louder (on a scale like 100-125%). That's the only time I would imagine it being actually "loud-loud." Comparatively, the WOT sound is probably about equal to some other exhausts that are just idling.
Long story short, it is "loud-er", but not screaming. It's tamed, only when you want it to be loud, it will be loud.
