this is probably a stupid question, but from what i understand, the exhuast was made without testing perormace at all? so it could even cause a loss of power? i dont get it. someone fill me in

i would really like to know what these sound like with the midpipe + f-sport exhaust on the 3GS..some guy posted that he received multiple fix-it tickets with the exact setup on a 2IS..pretty interested in this product since i've read good things about their pricing and welding.

Hello CL members,
Team SNS is back to bring out the Invidia Mid-pipe application, but this time for the 3GS. The 2IS application has become popular for the overall craftsmanship and performance output. Invidia has done it again for the 3GS application. Shown below is a prototype of the Mid-pipes. Test fitting will be done this week, and if all goes well, these will be ready for the public in a month or less!!! Keep in mind, this is a prototype! Final version will be fully polished and touched up, including the Invidia stamp on the resonator.
SAME SETUP AS 2IS, NO SECONDARY CATS, JUST 1 RESONATOR
UPGRADED FLANGE, ALLOWING USAGE OF OEM BOLTS
We will keep you all updated with the test fit along with the release date. Thanks
UPDATED 10/11/09, PICS FROM TEST FIT AND SOUND CLIPS...SORRY GUYS FOR THE DELAY WITH THIS, BUT HERE IT IS...
FITMENT OF DUAL PIPING WITH O2 BUNGS WERE NO ISSUE
PIPING NEAR RESONATOR NEEDED MODIFICATIONS DUE TO IT HITTING CHASSIS
After some modifications done to the piping near the resonator, fitment was finally perfected. A follow-up test fit will be performed for assurance with fitment. Also are some sound clips of the mid-pipes on stock mufflers...(FYI, those are just aftermarket tips, not mufflers). Enjoy!!!

Ok guy's heres my comments on the Invidia Mid-Pipe:
First of all I have to say that the Quality and the fit of the pipes are excellent also the car does feel more responsive and the rpms do climb faster but the only thing I do not like is that with the Tanabe Medalion Touring cat-back theres a lot of Raspy sound to it when you take off or as your driving and you give it some gas, you will hear the raspy sound in the car but not while your cruising, at that point theres no raspy sound. it does take some getting use to but if I can't then I'll put the stock Mid-Pipe back.
