I took mine for a ride tonight and it was noticeably louder. I'm looking for a mid pipe now also! Your car sounds awesome.

Noticeably? I thought Tanabes where one of the most quiet? I'm on the fence between this or F Sport.

I looked for a mid pipe last night and can't seem to find one for an 07 AWD IS 250. Does anyone know who makes one?
