Default invidia midpipe + stock exhaust?

has anyone ever installed an invidia midpipe while using their stock exhaust? I was looking for videos on youtube for the IS350s with the midpipe and stock exhaust. couldnt find any.. still makes a deeper sound with stock exhaust?

Stock axle back will fit if you install the invidia midpipe. There's a thread here made by another isx50 member of that set up. It sounds a little louder but nothing really noticeable. I have Megan midpipe and exhaust and you really can't tell the difference.

I have the invidia midpipe with stock exhaust and a fsport intake. It sounds good and you can still have the luxury normal drive aswell, if you go around 3-4k RPM it'll give you a great sound but if you drive normal like a grandma you won't hear it as much. This is if you don't want to much sound.

Yeah of course, I'll make one soon, I'm planning to get springs and steering damper and the fsport grill on saturday then I'll make the video hopefully because then after that I have to bring it to the dealer for them to check my car on a cranking noise that happens when it's starting and also when I step on my brakes it pulls to the right. SO hopefully I'll have time by saturday, if not Ill get it up hopefully Wednesday? when I get the car back.
