Your car sounds awsome! It's kinda what I'm looking for..
The tanabe is great, but it wasnt agressive enough, plus in low RPM and daily driving it was very deep, almost too deep and dronny.
the Midpipe helped get rid of the drone while giving it a more agressive sound. If you wanna go the cheaper way, just get the tanabe axleback and customize your midpipe for about half the price as the megan midpipe by taking of the secondary cats and installing a couple of resonators. you can ask a member called Caymandive he can help you if you choose to customize your stock midpipe.
you wont notice the midpiepe for the first 1000 miles or so, after that you can definitely tell its more agressive and more pleasant sound, like i said, it took away the DEEP (almost too deep) from the tanabe. but some peuple love the deep drone of the tanabe so.
id say, if you are getting the tanabe no matter what, just get it first and see what you think. if you dont like it (which i doubdt it) then do something with the midpipe, or get the megan

That sounds niiice. How would getting Megan Headers also contribute to sound/power?

Any idea on how much power this combo picked up?

I had install Fujitsubo Exhaust with my IS250 but their sound was beat by the F-Sport Intake.

Normally, I like the deep bass sound of Fujitsubo Cat-Back Exhaust. So, to add the Megan Mid Pipe will increase their deep bass sound for my Exhaust?

in-person, how does your exhaust note compare with f-sport exhaust running a stock mid-pipe? also, throwing the megan mid-pipe on a car with the f-sport exhaust, would it make it raspy? ive seen it happen on acuras (tl/tsx) where the cars already have noticeably loud exhausts, but when the mid-pipe is installed it sounds raspy.
