Default Tanabe Midpipe ISx50

Hey, i was reading on the tanabe blog about them doing some R&D on is250 midpipe. On the blog they got some dyno charts and clips of the sound and what not. My question is, is tanabe selling this midpipe? i tried looking on their site for them but couldnt find anything. What is weird is that their date posting was about a year ago, so i'd figure that they must have something out already. Was wondering if you guys know anything about this.

last dynos I saw from them (yeah a while ago) made no sense at all, and suggested totally impossible gains.

Myself and others asked for clarification and I don't think we've heard anything since.

That's a shame, from the video clip, it sounds really nice!

design-wise, it's about the same as the offerings from megan racing or invidia.

Does this midpipe clear your lower brace bar? My invidia tends to bounce on it a little causing a clunk.

I have one for my 350. I did R&D with them in August of last year. I have since taken it off because I bought the F Sport exhaust and it was just too loud for my tastes. I think I might be selling it soon. If I have one of three I should get a good price for it .
