The AWD's need a special midpipe (& headers ftm) as the front drive shaft requires that the header / midpipe flange be in a slightly different place.
It should be an easy modification for a mufflershop to cut and reposition the front flange of a RWD midpipe to fit an AWD. The finished will be messed up however.

Yes very sorry... 
We have NO SYSTEMS that work with the AWD IS Models...
&
We have NO PLANS to make a special AWD Front X-Pipe..
We did research the AWD on the lift and it was tons of extra work to make a special X-Pipe that fit around the Front Drive Axle & Different Transmission mounting bracket..

Just got my Invidia installed. Anyone have any issues with the pipe being very close to one of the black cross braces? We put a "spacer" in there to lower the brace a bit. I heard it hit on the way to work this morning.

Got my mid installed. Crappy video, but sounds good. Need an intake now.

Edit: How do you post the vid directly, with a pic of the vid so you can just hit play?

Yeah I could not get under the car enough with the Rhino Ramps. I took it to a local shop and a good thing because I don't have the socket that goes over the "do not tamper with o2 sensors." Sounds good with the Greddy SE! Loud as hell for the first startup when the motor is 100% cold. High idle for about 30 secs!
