I have the Invidia AWD midpipes on my 2016 IS300 AWD. I’m sure you can find vendors who sell it on here.

Just Apexi. No more Invidia most likely permanently. They will be in late May

Hey Lexis3g3,

Fitment is good. They actually used my car as the test AWD to get the driver side pipe bent around the transfer case, so it fits well. I assume they could have made some adjustments after the fact for production versions and that it would fit just as well if not better. All this assuming you could still get your hands on one like JM Auto Racing mentioned above (I didn't know they are supposedly discontinuing this).

I do like these midpipes, they have a cat delete and are still resonated like the Apexi. Another option is the Ark Grip which is resonated and has a high flow cat. They definitely add volume to your exhaust compared to sock. It just depends on what axleback you choose to pair with it. I was used to my Joe Z axle back with stock midpipe and was happy at the time. When I got the Invidia midpipe with an Invidia Q300 axleback it sounded like stock volume with additional raspiness at righer rpm's. Then, with the Invidia midpipe and Joe Z axle back, it was a lot louder, less raspy, deeper, with more drone in low rpm's. My final setup is with PPE headers and high flow cats added, but it seems like you're currently running stock headers right?

What combination/midpipe did you think was the loudest? Running Joe-Z axleback paired with a custom Tsudo midpipe but planning on either swapping the midpipe for something louder or full-send and get PPE headers.

With stock headers, the Invidia midpipe with Joe Z Axleback was the loudest. The Q300 axleback was quieter than the Joe z. Catless headers will definitely be way louder, but doesn’t sound that great. If you go the header route, I’d suggest getting some sort of cats or resonators installed on the midpipe to balance it out. You’d get the volume your looking for with a better sound than if you went catless.
