This is for those of you who would like to hear how it sounds with the stock exhaust. I had this installed today and wanted to post this before I installed another axle back oh and BTW its an is350.

nicee...car sounds good with just the aftermarket midpipe! Now go wash your car and polish that exhaust!
haven't experienced any drone yet ill wait and see after I do some highway driving. I decided to do the mid pipe first because i haven't made up my mind on which exhaust i wanted Im either going to go with the Greddy or tanabe. I'll tell you something I didn't expect it to sound soo dame nice even with the stock exhaust.

I have the midpipe with the Greddy SE and I love it. Contact Kris at www.gotoracingonline.com He got me both the midpipe and exhaust for a great price and really quickly.

Thanks for the awesome clip! I've always wanted to hear this. There is a clip on YouTube but that one isn't that clear. There are plenty of reasons why to do midpipe only. Sometimes adding the exhaust is too loud, some people only want a slight growl from stock and clearly the invidia does just that.

Wow this is the loudest stock exhaust on the IS i have heard... of course the mid-pipe makes a huge difference. How much horsepower do you gain with ONLY the mid-pipe? 2-5HP??
yea i did a lot of searching through these forums and youtube to get an idea but didnt really find anything so I went ahead and got it to see for myself and like many of you have said it deff brings an exhaust to life. I was going for that stealth sound during low rpms's and and nice growl accelerating. I had it installed yesterday and already people come up to tell me how nice it sounds. I will try to make more videos of take off and drive by.
Oh and I don't know how much Hp gain it gives but it launches a lot faster, I take my friends 335 easy.

Its probably the sound that made you feel like the car is faster. Nice sound btw. I was in your situation a couple weeks ago not sure which exhaust to get.
