^^^ Awesome

It also fits in the trunk unboxed - 5 sections

The OEM system will be another story.. Only the axle sections will fit in the trunk..
Mid-Pipe will need a lot more room..

Congrats..!!

Will the stock mid pipe fit inside of the car? I am going to get mine installed next Tuesday, just wondering how to take the stock pipes home.

I don't have a truck so I'll try just lowering the passenger seat and putting the pipe diagonal inside the car to see if it fits (from front pass seat to rear driver's seat). I'm obviously going to thoroughly clean the pipe and use towels to protect the interior before I stick it in there.

Good luck with the install! I'm not gonna lie, I'm still pleasantly startled when I start the car and forget I had it installed lol.

I'm sure its possible, but most likely end up being two more different front pipes (with no X)

We can explore in the future, if the demand is there... But nothing happening right now..

We are looking to finish up the 2014 IS350 RWD system next..

Hey Joe

Tremendous applause for what have you done for the 4GS.

Just needed to know if I should really wait for the full system for AWD or just go for the axle back. There are numerous members that shown their interest for the full just in this thread alone.

Is this a future reality for us?

Thanks

Put it in a big trash bag after it cools and tie it up. You probably can diag- it to the front passenger seat.
