Nice combo. Too bad I just got my Invida. Maybe a change later on. Great video.

guessing you got the mid pipe for free and got a discount on your exhaust

Is it just the sound quality of the video or does the midpipe sound raspy and crackly in person? Besides that, I love the tone of the combo.

maybe the sound quality of iphone, or maybe both, but in reality it sounds very good, just like the combo of fsport intake and tanabe touring exhaust..but when u step on it at higher rpm then u can hear the deeper tone sound..rite now i'm driving a bit more aggressive so the car ecu is learning a bit....

The finally went back to the same dyno place which shows on this video IS350 and they're much better... Tanabe doesn't have dyno. They have to work with other shops to do the dynos.

Props on the sound... I was at their place getting my car done that day and I heard this it sounded like BEAST

Yeah the same thing happened last year when I did the r&d with them.

Its no longer available. Invidia, megan are the most common. But there may be more out there.

Quick question for you I removed the resonator first on my car I was able to rev it all the way to redline with the tanabe axle back exhaust then I removed the secondary cats for a little more noise but now it won't pass 5k only when I rev it In park or neutral when driving I can reach redline no lag or anything any ideas ? I'm thinking maybe loss of back pressure or exhaust leak it's a 2012 Lexus is350 awd
