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.

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

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.
