My y pipe from my manifolds is cracked and I had it repaired in two places but the welds broke. I want to upgrade my exhaust from the manifolds back and am looking at the Tanabe Medallion and Invidia midsection. Will this fit my AWD or is it RWD only? Has anyone on here done it to an AWD?

Apparently, they DO NOT fit on an AWD.

Unless your shop can make drastic changes to the midpipe only, you won't be able to install the Invidia mid pipe.

In this thread I posted several years ago... You'll see all the details off my Invidia Mid Pipe after being installed on my GS460 RWD

Attachment 385371


Modifications to the flanges, and O2 bungs had to be made. This part was specifically designed for the RWD GS300 and 350

I am also looking for a cat back upgrade for my 2007 GS 350 AWD. I live in Ontario Canada and have not yet found a bolt on solution. Please let me know if anyone knows where i can find something.

There is no catback upgrades unfortunately. You would need to modify the midpipe in order to make it fit. Not a huge project and most shops can do this.

Thanks!

Would the mods be similar to the GS460 RWD mods done above? Would make more sense to just custom fit the mid pipe? I am loving the way the invidia sounds!

Take it to a better muffler shop and have them repair it again. IMO not worth it to invest/hassle in a mid pipe and to pay to modify that aswell.

It's a simple modification that any exhaust shop can do. It does give the car a great sound.

Gs350Norm

Agreed,

The sound is what has me hooked on the idea. I just wanted to be sure it could be done fairly easy. I will check out some vendor return policies to see if they let me take it back if i cant find a shop that will do the mods...

Thanks for all the input guys!!

I'll save you the trouble with us. As long as the part isn't installed or modified we can accept the return back

Great service. gs350norm, kindly let us know what you end up with. I'm in Ontario too with an awd...

I have received my Invida exhaust. I am going to have my fabricator friend attempt to modify the mid pipe in the next few weeks. I do plan on taking as many pictures as possible to help out my fellow GS 350 AWD owners. I was hoping to find some pictures of a completed mid pipe on an AWD but i have not had any luck.

I did some research and at the end of the day, I ordered a OEM Front (Mid Pipe) $1400.00 shipped no tax with heat shields two Cats.. Then I'll go Borla for the axel back.
This turned out to cost effective, due to by the time I purchased a mid pipe, two good Cats and the cost of a muffler shop.
The entire install cost me $128.00..

looking forward to seeing this, as i want to do this same setup to my 08 350 AWD.
