AWD midpipe installed
So I got my Tsudo midpipe from Amazon this past week and had it installed yesterday on my AWD is250 f sport. I went to a shop in Pickering just outside of Toronto for the install and fabrication to make it fit all wheel drive. The quality of the Tsudo midpipe is very good, especially for the price $280 US. The system is 304 stainless, cat delete and has performance resonators.
Here is what it looks like out of the box
I took before/after pictures of it once it was installed on the car as well

The bend at the flange
It installed smoothly and fit perfectly with my invidia axelback, took about 1.5 hours for the install and everything was done very meticulously and lines up perfect. I am very happy with the sound, it makes a huge difference over the stock mid pipe. There is little drone when driving on the highway and next to none when city driving. As for overall sound it can be fairly quiet when driving modestly in auto mode, but also very loud in sport with paddles. Overall it has a very nice 6 cylinder tone to it and it is definetly loud enough for my taste.
I was debating whether or not to get the Tsudo midpipe for a couple reasons 1 being that I've never even heard of them, and 2 being the price was half the price of any other midpipe I could find. I can now say that I am very happy I did as it has already made the car more enjoyable to drive and I grin every time I hit a tunnel or on ramp to a highway.
I will attach an iPhone video of the exhaust but the camera doesn't do it justice, hopefully I will get a better video in a couple days

I have scraped it once pulling out of a parking lot with an incline, I heard the sound but never could find out where it hit, I'm just extra cautious with it now. What midpipe did you go with?

Our manufacturer Tsudo is currently looking for someone to help fabricate a down-pipe for a Lexus 2014+ IS 250 or I 350 AWD. For this particular project we need the car for at least half a day. Once the project is done, he/she will get the first sample for "free" for their time. Please help us pass this word around and help the community. Thanks!!!
