The front differential is in the way of the mid pipe.

Thanks so much 4TehNguyen. It does show some difference. The axle back is good, but the cat back seems to be the one to get if budget allows. It just got the extra sexiness to it

I understand the transfer case is in the way of the left side of the x-pipe, but aren't all pipes bendable? If other aftermarket companies are able to come out with full cat back exhaust systems, I'm sure JoeZ will be able to "learn" from other companies one way or another someday

LoL... It's not about learning..

Currently I have not seen ANY X-pipe / Mid-pipe application specifically developed for any AWD IS350 / GS350.. (old or new)

Also, makes it next to impossible to develop one for an AWD when our SoCal market doesn't sell them on their lots..

Yes I saw.... It's missing a large CURVE to go around the Axle and trans mount...
(Again just from the photo observations that show to be the same pipes for RWD & AWD)

Edit: However, I do now recall a member in WI that drove to their facility in IL to get it fitted on his AWD... Maybe they need to edit / update the pics.

Flight plus equipment... Cheaper to ship your car to So Cal..

Will see what the future brings, for us to release an AWD FULL system..

Nothing on the table at the moment.
