Just got back from Musicbox and Tommy did a great job installing it! Omg I've fallen in love with my car all over again!! Just installed the midpipe and my god it sounds gorgeous. Before with the Tanabe Medalion exhaust you'd get a deep note all the time and it dissappears after 3k+ RPM. Now, it just sounds meaner the higher you go! The actual exhaust note sounds clearer too, not just a muffled deep tone. I drove it on the freeway and there's a TEENY bit of drone, and that's nitpicking it. It definitely seems to pick up faster and a lot smoother too. Shoutout to my boy Chris @ TeamSNS for hooking it up and Sith who took the video for me on his iPhone!

Soundclip!
Before: F-Sport Intake & Tanabe Medalion Exhaust
After: F-Sport Intake, Invidia Midpipe, & Tanabe Medalion Exhaust
Has anybody that has installed this Invidia Midpipe notice any performance improvments and not just sound?

Um, you can hear it if you're really paying attention to it with windows up. Windows down you can hear some rasp at like 4.5k+ RPM.
Not sure, gotta ask Chris in the vendor section..I'm thinking they can though.
Here is the link for the Invidia midpipe. As for the clips under load, if anyone with an iPhone or a video camera that knows a place in SOCAL where we can do multiple pulls of varying intensity, please send me a PM. Your help would be greatly appreciated!

Well, I pulled the trigger on the Tanabe Medallion and the Invidia Mi-Pipe. You guys will be the first to hear the result on a GS460. Wish me luck guys!
I think I just went overboard with the decibal factor, let;s hope the V8 is not as raspy as the V6.

,anyway; INVIDIA Exhaust + Mid-pipes on a ISX50

...heard this in person when i was doing the R+D with INVIDIA; personally it's not abnoxious at all.
...Mid-pipe alone tends to "choke" the sound compared to the complete set-up which is deep.
INVIDIA Q300 axle back on a GS350:

...sound quality is muffled due to wind condition during this shoot; personally the INVIDIA axle-back is not loud, very refined, deep tone...definitely not loud as the HKS, a tad louder than Tanabe (not significantly).
Im still in the fence if i will keep my brand new Invidia Axle back...
