Don't clue, they won't say anything about it. From our past experience usually they only apply BF pricing to parts being sold at MSRP right now but parts are almost already 15% off. They might throw in a little more discount but no guarantees.

Just make sure to order from us to save

Now that I know that is an option I'll wait for your video to see if I like it. Will you also be checking performance on a dyno to see if there is any improvement?

I am not planning to dyno, but there was a dyno plot posted on FB in the IS500 Performance Owners group involving Apexi H-Pipe mated to stock Axle-Back. Yielded 14HP and 20 lb-ft TQ on a Dynojet, IIRC.

Plenty of apexi non resonated midpipes in stock for anyone interested.
Resonated midpipes ETA is end of November/ December.

That's windows up or windows down? Sounds like its quiet enough in the cab to still have a conversation and talk at a normal volume. Sounds good.
