Any before/after dyno sheets to go with the sound clip?

I'm assuming that was the after numbers...

typically a stock IS350 puts down about 265, so 276.28 would be roughly correct for the mods you list (one would expect ~5 from intake, ~7 from the axleback, and ~1 from the midpipe, or about 278).

not really loud pretty normal like having tanabe and fsport intake rpm only when u step on it, its deeper tone... not loudness... fraction of the loudness compare to indivia and even lesser than the megan....

yeah i was hoping to get 280whp lolz ehehheheh.... but very close lolz. oh they tested a long new line of full exhaust from Tanabe... bigger diameter but some reasons get lesser whp than midpipe+with tanabe medallion...

Are they planning on coming out with a new exhaust for us? or is the midpipe and medallion all we are getting from tanabe?

The mid pipe its good to release in a few months... not sure about the straight long full exhaust system.. i think they need to do some modification and dyno... because its back fire losing horse power compare to the midpipe +the axle back alone

It looks like they finally figured out how to dyno an is350. When they dynoed mine they came out with some really low numbers. I think they were having problems with the dyno that day. Did they install the midpipe with no resonator or just a straight pipe? They gave me the midpipe with the resonator because the one without sounded really raspy.

Yeah , they dynoed everything, midpipe with stock exhaust, midpipe with tanabe exhaust=the best gain and sound. Mid pipe with new version exhaust=not so good, and new full long straight new exhaust. Nothing come compare to Tanabe midpipe and Medallion combo and the Fsport lolz..i went with the driver to the dyno place lolz.... was fun...
