Alright everyone so I wanted stock looking exhaust but I just wanted to have some sort of tone. So tomarrow I am picking up the invidia midpipes. I am hoping that it will change the tone a little bit, and give it better, less resctrictive flow. I will post updates as soon as it is on and try and post a video. Also I am go to the pursuit on Sunday. Hopefully a better time than stock, and I will also be hitting the dyno soon to see with the new pipes and intake to see the true hp and torque gains. Hopefully there is something. Wish me luck.
Mainly this is to help some one not wanting new exhaust as getting some sound outta their IS.

. but you can make them sound a hell of a lot meaner and deeper than those cars. check this exhaust out thohttps://www.clublexus.com/forums/clu...250-is350.html
its sounds great. but if you dont want axle back. just stick with the pipes. this vendor is doin a great deal on both

I, too, highly recommend getting the Invidia midpipes through Chris at Team SNS. I am very happy with the craftsmanship, welds, and overall fitment of the midpipes. It was also an exceptional deal compared to Megan Racing.
Invidia FTW!!!!!

a pm i got so i figured i would put this on here
that is actually a good question im gunna throw that on the thread.
but anyways, no it didnt throw a cel on the car. and for smog purposes our cars have 2 sets of cats. our primaries are used for emissions and ca law. our secondary cats are used to lower emissions even more... way past emissions standards. our cars are built extremely efficient and will pass smog as long as we do not remove the primaries.
also our secondaries are used for supressing noise also. thats why they are little and not as large as the first ones.
if you have anymore questions feel free to ask. and if you are looking to get these pipes let me know.

i came across your post regarding the invidia mid pipes ( 2nd cat delete + resonator)...Im wondering if your CEL was triggered because the 2ndary cats were deleted?? Will it still pass Ca smog without the 2ndry cats??
Thanks

i took it to a shop. i would have done it myself. but of course the only o2 sensor tool i didnt have was the one for newer lexus. that is the only thing difficult on this. but it is definetly do able. i would definetly say GO FOR IT. it sounds great on our cars
