Damn that's LOUD... and sexy!

I'm thinking about getting the mid pipe to compliment my Lexus hks... I wish i could hear it first, but as rare of an exhaust as the Lexus hks is, I'm sure I won't be able to hear the combo unless I buy it lol

WTF! Did someone have a fire sale on Invidia mid-pipes and I missed it again?

All joking aside, nice video and write up Josh. Props to Brociouz as well. Thanks for taking the time to post your videos fellez. I'M SOLD!!

And in regards to the comment it's not the best V6 sound. I agree it's not the best sound (something is always better right), but one thing for sure, it sounds way better than my cuzzo's IS-F V8 engine - day and night.

If I could make a suggestion, perhaps you should also make a daily driving video with music on at volume 30-40, as I suspect most of us young folk on CL drive around with music blasting on a daily basis.

I don't normally drive around with music off, so any potentially irritating drone at cruising speeds that is only audible with music off is not entirely relevant - for me at least.

If there is a drone at cruising speed and it is not audible with music on (volume 30-40), then that would be just perfect.
Here you go!

Great vid!

The midpipe is nice, but I love looking at that Wald kit, too.

How do you rev match, care to share the tricks with us? I try to play with the paddles a lot more and its still a bit iffy.

As I suspected, the drone is nothing to be concerned about, especially when cruising in 6th gear. Seemed very tolerable/bearable.

Yeah its not bad!

--------------------------

So i did a photoshoot with some friends today, and one of my friends brought his GTR. The GTR with an exhaust sound like the IS 350 with Fsport intake/ Exhaust + Invidia midpipe. I would say they sound about 85% the same
