None of them add more than 1-2 hp. A midpipe is a sound modification, not a performance one.

I think extremely loud is a fair description. I uploaded some video clips of my F-Sport Exhaust + Intake & Invidia Midpipe combo: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/per...midpipe-2.html

No problems with smell.

I'd like to hear the sound clip of that too. I have the OEM midpipe hence still have one set of cats and I consider my setup to be not quiet.
