yes, a member called caymandive had a customized midpipe and changed it for the megan and saw some gains on the dyno. im not sure how much hp he gained with the megan but it wasnt much because he already had the customized midpipe, however maybe if you compare the stock hp to the car with megan midpipe the difference should be bigger.

The "power" is very small and the weight reduction from stock is also very small. So its hard to say.
These days I am putting more faith in 1/4 mile times as it will take into power plus weight reductions.

I think you can get the Tanabe for ~800 delivered to your door. A good price for a new one is $670 before tax & Shipping, I think.

I'm thinking of getting Tanabe as well. I drive quite a bit of distance on the weekends. 200 miles at around 80 mph, @ 3200 rpm... Does the tanabe produce a lot of noise at that RPM? Stock now is quite quiet and it would kill me if i had to listen to droning for 3 hrs straight...

When you step on it, the intake makes more noise then anything.
I just put 600 miles on in 2 days, No problems.

at 80mph it has a nice hummm... barely noticable unless you step on it..
i like my exhaust to be quiet as can be and ROAR when i step on it... and this is exactly what the tanabe provides...
i would have to say the ONLY time that i notice any droning is like 12-3 in the morning when no one's on the road and my girlfriends in the car sleeping as i drive home...
even though it's not "loud" i seldomly wished my car would S-T-F-U... for the lady

Just installed mine and loving it. Does any know of a header setup (08 IS250) out there that would pass smog in cali? That would be my next mod.

I think a company called Jun-Tun or something makes some but they are shorty headers and nobody buys them because they are like 2 Grand.

2g's, I want something that I can just leave on and not worry about taking it of for a smog.
How much power can having the header and tanabe exhaust give? After have the f-sport intake and tanabe exhaust, my launch feels more torque and quicker.

Im actually looking to purchase the Megan mid pipe , but was having a tough time finding it for the ISX50. All the searches pop up hodas, and other rice mobiles. Any suggestions?
