Ok, smell is gone but now I just realized I won't pass a smog test here in CA since the two cats are removed. That was my mistake for not paying attention to CA smog laws.

I plan to have the Lexus pipe reinstalled, remove the resonator and replace that with a glasspack resonator. And have Magnaflow mufflers installed. All this for $760

Or, should I just go with the Invidia Axelback instead? This part is $650 plus $120 install, unless I do that myself.

My concern is the Invidia Axelback may not have enough deep tone for the cost, where as the glasspack and Magnaflow will.

Thoughts?

Thanks.

Anyone try the Invidia midpipe paired with the Megan Axle back exhaust?

I forgot to ask you Icy350, did you have any issue passing NYS (emissions) inspection with the Megan midpipe? I'm probably going to get the Invidia but I'll get whichever one will not fail emissions or cause a check engine light. Has anyone had issues with either of them as far as check engine lights or emissions failures outside of CA?

Puhz, I may have an Invidia midpipe (used but like new) that I just installed and will need to remove this weekend since CA will not pass the smog since the two cats are removed.

I'll be asking $250 with free ground shipping or $225 if you pay shipping.

Not sure how other states will handle the smog check, I'd call your local smog shop and ask them.

Thanks,

Mike

neither midpipe will throw cel since its after the o2 sensors. in california im pretty sure neither will pass emissions, not sure about NY. There's always somewhere willing to pass you tho...

if you do end up wanting to sell, post it in the 2nd gen IS classifieds. it will be gone within a week
