I'll make it easy for you. You don't have to choose between the two. Get the Invidia Midpipe, and Megan drift spec axelback.

Invidia midpipe deletes secondary cats so it would be louder than Megan. It's obviously a personal preference.

Basically depends on personal preference on how "loud" you want your IS to sound. Invidia might be more aggressive and louder than Megan. What exhaust are you running?

Some video clips of my car to give you a sense of the F-Sport Intake + Exhaust & Invidia midpipe combo. It's loud. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/per...a-midpipe.html

Megan Midpipe is better since it retains the secondary cats.
