Congrats on the midpipe

A few things in your post made me lol.

You hear a boost in power lol, you get maybe 2hp so there is no power gain

And your M2 = axle back. But, M2 + Invidia = catback type exhaust setup. Just an FYI

Not "hear" but feel, she deffinately feels different going through WOT. lol about it as much u can, and the feeling is not just the exhaust tone going through the car =] , and about the catback it was typo i was thinking about the whole setup as is "catback''

Did the midpipe get rid of the drone from about 2-3.5K ?
How does it sound now?
I'm thinking of trying the Tsudo exhaust and midpipe but just hate that drone. If the midpipe helps out then I might.

he drone went down, the sound changed. I mean the pipes are still breaking in and past 2 days all we have is rain so i can not even get a good idea of what it will be like. When i give it a little to much gas my rear is all over the road which it never did it before so i think my power band has shifted.

I have a 2011 IS350 that is still under factory warranty. Will installing a mid pipe and exhaust void my factory warranty?

It will void your warranty on the stock exhaust and stock midpipe. Installing an aftermarket part cant void your entire warranty

The thing is that a midpipe wont gain you power (maybe ~2hp) and only produces sound.

It wont shift your power band, make you go faster, etc.

Dont confuse sound with power
