Does changing just the midpipes make any noticeable sound differences?

I got video on youtube with only invidia midpipes

Deleted it

Video was made after I selled HKS and was waited for Greddy catback exhaust.

At low RPM - no sound difference.
But when you press the gas, when more then 3000 rpm - SOUND increasement well noticed.

Hmm.. I am looking for little drone, but not excessive, but enough when i floor it I can hear definite difference.

I've only seen vids and none on a GS in person. So far my favorite is the Tanabe exhausts.

Basically I'm just not sure if I should bother w/ the entire exhaust considering there is little to no gain in HP and I'm only doing this for the sound anyways. Midpipes are like $350-400? Be a nice bday present lol.

I had midpipes on IS250. Forgot to say

By "drone" what do you mean? Explain it me, so I can understand.

Low frequency sound at low rpm ? Am I right ?
Tanabe catback exhaust system gives low frequency sound at low rpm, between 1500-2500 rpm, the peak of low frequency sound is about 2200 rpm.

About midpipes - no difference if compare with stock sound at low RPM.

Yup drone = low frequency sound while idling / low rpm

Looks like I'll just get the Tanabe catback in a few months ;o Thanks
