You could have them do a custom straight pipe, but the Invidia mid pipes have a high performance resonator. I tried a resonator delete and hated the sound. Issue would be if you bought the mid pipe and then were told that they couldn't make it work. Hopefully someone AWD has tried this before and can shed some light.

For the price...

best to go custom midpipe (2.25" pipe, vibrant ultra quiet resonator), the amount that you spend cutting up the invidia piece could end up just about the same or maybe more because you have to buy the invidia peiece itself..

should have correct that I mean 2.25" not 2.5" seems to be the best size for exhaust on the isx50..

You could just make the midpipe pipe w/ secndoary cat delete without any resonators...

as so long as you have one resonator, with your current exhaust setup...should do just fine.

Speaking of exhaust setup, what is your exhaust setup?

You can do anything with the right amount of money.

If you dont want it to be too loud, you shouldnt be doing a straight pipe setup

This thread will give you an idea of how the F-Sport exhaust sounds like.

I was about to pick up the Invidia for my is250 awd becasue my stocker had a leak in it...Did a lot of research and stopped by a few exhaust shops...It can be done with a few cuts and welds..Seemed like it was the cheaper way to go until I stiopped by the Lexus Dealer and found out the stock ones are under warranty till 80,000 and replaced it for nothing.

I have a 2011 IS350 AWD with the HKS Hi-Power exhaust and I’ve been debating getting the Megan midpipes and having them fabricated to fit my car since I know they only fit RWD. Do y’all think I should go that route or just have a shop make some custom stainless steel midpipes instead? I’m looking to keep it deep and loud without much rasp.
