Default Power gains on Invidia mid pipe?

Just got a gs300 and from what j read the best bang for buck mod is the Invidia midpipe. I see them go on amazon for $364. anyone know of a cheaper seller? Anyone know how many hp gains? or if you have it does it throw a cel? thanks!

Reading older posts about e invidia midpipe, there is very little hp gains. You're mainly getting sound. Same goes with intake and exhaust.

1. You will not get a CEL
2. No power gains
3. Just sounds better and lighter than stock 2ndary Cats.

Considering you can't tune these motors even those aren't realistic options.

The exhaust changes the sound. That's about it.

^ this. If you're looking for a tuner car, your best bet is another car. The GS model is a VIP platform. Not too much tuning can be done.
