Default Invidia Mid Pipe

Im planning on purchasing a Invidia Midpipe for my 07 GS350 AWD part # HS06LISMIP. With my understanding it is not a direct bolt on and modifications will need to be made. Can any of the AWD guys that have this midpipe have some input on what is needed to be done? thanks!

I was looking for the same thing just recently, I got no answer. Probably the piped need to be bend around front differential to make it fit. If you are going to do it, bring it to a reputable exhaust shop with custom fitting capabilities.

So i just got my invidia mid pipe installed. The only fabrication that needs to be done is the driver side pipe that connects up to the cat that needs to be cut, bent, and rewelded. I highly recommend anyone with a AWD to bring it to a reputable exhaust shops. Very happy with the outcome.

I am looking at this mid pipe for my 06 300. I am getting that sulfur odor in my car and took it to my mechanic and he went a lexus technician site and came back that the part number 17410 needed to be replaced. I noticed this paet is missing 2 cats from the stock part. Will my car still pass emission?

Wanted to share mines... it's only 8-seconds short just flooring it from the start. Megan test pipes from a sc430 to a custom mid-pipe (resonators removed;90-degree o2 foulers on as well) which is then linked to a HKS hi-power axle-back.

Gas fumes are super strong for those are even thinking about putting test pipes on.

Our cars come with 4 Cats from the factory, 2 front and 2 rear. With the Invidia Mid-pipe You have the 2 front cats, but removed the 2 rear Cats, Correct??

No. That big thing behind the rear cats is a resonator, basically same idea as a muffler. Our cars are very quiet from the factory.
You can see from the pic below how the Invidia pipe compares to the stock mid-pipe.
FYI it doesn't fit AWD cars like mine.
