any bolt on exhaust for the IS will be resonator back only, as there are no flanges after the cat, really wish there were the stock resonator seems very restrictive

Nice find!!
Thats a great price for an awesome looking exhaust..
The price should be the same on the IS250.. Whether or not they use the same design for the actual muffler has yet to be seen I guess..
Naturally the specs are the same, but the sound should be different..
I would think the IS350 system will bolt right up to the IS250 as is, but the sound produced will be different..
The claimed 7rwhp for the IS350 should be different as well on the IS250..
I'm sure when Mike @ Tanabe reads this, they will try a get a manual IS250 to bolt up and Dyno test.. (if they haven't done so already)

A very big thanks to varok for letting us use his car over the weekend.
We will be testing this on the IS250. From a parts number standpoint, and rear section schematic, the stock rear exhaust of the IS250 appears to be exactly the same as the IS350. We will just need to test fit this application to confirm.
The sound clips don't really do the exhaust justice, as the clips on our site were taken with a digital camera held 3+ feet away-- the camera isn't designed topick up the low frequency, deep bass sound of the exhaust. The tone is very very low. Hopefully there will be a CL meet sometime in the near future and varok can stop by so you all can get a better idea of how it sounds.
The exhaust is actually much lighter than the stock system-- the Medalion Touring weighs about 21lbs-- we are going to weigh the stock exhaust again to check the difference.
This exhaust is arriving on the container from our Japan HQ in less than two weeks. (ETA May 14th) Limited availability is to be expected since it is the first production run, so it would be best to contact the forum vendors if anyone is really itching to pick this up ASAP.
On another good note, we just received our shipment of NF210 IS350 specific springs. I know a lot of you are using the DF210 for the 06+ GS430 on your second generation IS', but these do not lower as drastically and may be a bit softer.
Here's another picture of varok's very nice IS350 with the DF210 GS430 springs and Medalion Touring
Yes, the background is masked...please don't ask

Dynos? Medalion Touring did very well considering it is an axle-back.
Independently dyno Tested at R&D Dyno in Gardena, arguably one of the most accurate and best calibrated dynamometers in Southern California.
If you go to www.dynojet.com you can download the WinPep dyno software and I can upload the *actual dyno run files* if you guys want to see all of the data such as humidity at time of testing, multiple runs, etc etc.

Yoshi13 received the production prototype from us several months ago and he was the test car that we obtained all of the fitment and performance data from.
Varok's car was recently used to get additional photos for "internal company use". Varok has the actual production piece.
