unless I am wrong don't the mazzuri headers remove the front cats? so if you could use these mid pipes you would have NO cats on your car. I may be wrong. But if the headers mount to the OEM pipes then there is no reason you can not still use these mid pipes.

I rather get the Megan Midpipe if I can get them
but will be interested in doing a custom midpipe if I can't get it from Megan

so please let me or let us know if we will be able to do a GB on this
midpipe~!
I'll like to add this to my Tanabe Exhaust..I think I'll sound sicker!!

Well it is a part number. They are just a crappy vendor. You should call Megan and tell them about it and see if they have any more vendors.

They also said to try calling RMSUSA at 623-742-9494 as a purchase point instead of buying through them because obviously they have to charge retail. So we may be able to save $100 going through one of their distributors. I think this would be a good item to set up a group buy for. What do you all think.
after reading about this i just thought u guys should know about rms usa...found this on some Honda forums. http://www.rms-usa-fraud.com/

we should try and hit these pplz up.. i found they had the cheapest price 440..

Left 2 messages? but no return call??

Sent 2 emails and got response to 1 with them asking me for more info! I never heard back after that!

Sorry I would not do business with them after this.

The price isnt that bad but Im sure you can get it for 375$ IMO...

Not sure how serious everyone is about the mid-pipes. but to those to want to install them and keep their axle-back exhaust unchanged due to noise issues. here is how it sounds like..

Sebs, that sounds badass! Sounds like a good solution for us that want that exhaust tone without having to deal with the 3k rpm drone!

Where did you purchase from?? Thank you for sharing. Do you have any pics of it before you installed and pics on the car when it was on the lift??

Can we please get a vendor on here to set up a group buy or post a NEW thread to see if we have enough interest!

your welcome guys, i'm glad you liked it . I wish i had a before and after pic but unfortunatly i don't. As far as fitment goes they are very well. I purchased the whole exhaust through technotic (i live in canada limited availability here)..but didn't like all the extra drone from the megan axle back (really loud lol) So put the stock one back on.. not sure if it sounds any different compared to a regular IS.

You guys should be able to find some decent vendors in your area.. the states definatly has a lot more then canada lol.

Good luck

between this link and otheres. when i have searched for the megan midpipe for the ISx50 the picture they show for both the scion tc and ISx50 are the exact same picturs for the midpipe, reguardless of what website you visit. obivouls its a generic picture for the midpipe... so is it a possibility that the tc and IS have the same sized midpipe? if so. the tc midpipe is 200bucks.

some links.
IS midpipe-
http://www.taillightwarehouse.com/06...e-p-18172.html

tc midpipe-
http://www.taillightwarehouse.com/05...e-p-18170.html.


ill research more a little later and rather than building a custom midpipe when this is figured out i will most likely just pull the trigger and order the midpipe in the next few days.

That is not the mid-pipe for an IS350.
