Default A sneak peak at the Invidia Mid-pipes for the 3GS!!!

Hello CL members,

Team SNS is back to bring out the Invidia Mid-pipe application, but this time for the 3GS. The 2IS application has become popular for the overall craftsmanship and performance output. Invidia has done it again for the 3GS application. Shown below is a prototype of the Mid-pipes. Test fitting will be done this week, and if all goes well, these will be ready for the public in a month or less!!! Keep in mind, this is a prototype! Final version will be fully polished and touched up, including the Invidia stamp on the resonator.


SAME SETUP AS 2IS, NO SECONDARY CATS, JUST 1 RESONATOR














UPGRADED FLANGE, ALLOWING USAGE OF OEM BOLTS


We will keep you all updated with the test fit along with the release date. Thanks

UPDATED 10/11/09, PICS FROM TEST FIT AND SOUND CLIPS...SORRY GUYS FOR THE DELAY WITH THIS, BUT HERE IT IS...


FITMENT OF DUAL PIPING WITH O2 BUNGS WERE NO ISSUE



PIPING NEAR RESONATOR NEEDED MODIFICATIONS DUE TO IT HITTING CHASSIS




After some modifications done to the piping near the resonator, fitment was finally perfected. A follow-up test fit will be performed for assurance with fitment. Also are some sound clips of the mid-pipes on stock mufflers...(FYI, those are just aftermarket tips, not mufflers). Enjoy!!!

team sns, will this fit a 2008 GS450h? extremely interested here!

on a side note, will this mod pass air care or emission testing? what kind of gains and noise level can be expected? i assume aftermarket exhaust required for full gains to be achieved?

We still have yet to dyno the 2IS app, and we have to get the prototype on to make sure it fits, then if all is good, we will dyno both of the apps...Thanks...
