Here's a pic of the Carson Tuned midpipe in the middle.. The stock midpipe (B-Pipe) is very small and restrictive. It also has a cat that doesn't allow air to escape easily. By replacing it with a Carson Tuned midpipe, you get a slightly larger diameter pipe to allow better air flow, the removal of a cat that robs HP, pure stainless steel that won't rust in the rain and a growl that sounds sweet. The Carson midpipe and catback uses resonators instead of a cats to control noise levels. As for smog, I just recently pass with flying colors and have not had a CEL yet. It's been several months now. Hp has increased throughout the entire rpm range and as soon as I get the Carson Tuned headers, I will do a full write up and dyno. The headers are on there way from Japan as we speak. Currently this is only for the GS300/IS300 cars...

I think I'm going to have to go for a drive with you in your car next time I see you.

I also have Carson Tuned and I can see a slight difference.

Thanks,

You might be right but it’s hardly noticeable. If it is disturbing you can always adjust the tips the way you want.
I had to adjust the right side of the exhaust because it was to low and to much to the left.

Yes Steve is the Man! UPS charged me 400$ though

And then add tax and custom. This was kind of a
pricy mod for me but it was worth every penny
