I'm planning on doing more videos once the nicer weather pops out. Since i'm in Canada, I bought it from my friendly local speedshop, you can get it at a bunch of sites online, although inventory might be low, bunch of 500 owners bought it when I confirmed it was a direct fit!

I am new to performance cars

People have been doing the Tom's RCF axle back now as well, it is pricer, or the Revel is a good option.

We have them all including Apexi which is designed for the IS500.

Yes sounds great! I’m so tempted to just delete the mufflers for $200. The midpipe is my preferred method, but they seem in short supply and over $1000.

I dont' know why a catless midpipe would be more or equal to an actual muffler. probably because they're model specific and lower volume in terms of sales. It seems like all IS and RC's seem to share a axleback design.
