Default Exhaust issues

As I posted in my welcome introduction. I have a metallic Gray 2012 is350 F-Sport. Yesterday I noticed that the resonator had been deleted from my exhaust and the rear section flanges have also been welded and cut off. Someone from the LA area please if you know the previous owner or are the previous owner let me know why you had them welded. The rear section Invidia q300 I ordered is kinda useless until I buy the header back mid section.

They welded the new pipe directly to the axle back part without putting back the flanges? What kind of butcher job is that?

Don't buy the whole mid-pipe section, just bring it to Midas and they will be able to weld new flanges and install the Invidia Axle-Back at the same time...

Yeah it was definitely a hack job. There aren't any midas around my way but there are some good reputable exhaust shops around. I just posted up on here hoping the old owner is on here. The car was modded at some point with intake and obviously exhaust at some time.

No need to bring to Midas. Any independent mechanic that specializes in exhaust can easily fix that for you

I'm sorry to hear that. As for your new exhaust Invidia Q300 the Invidia midpips are a MUST cuz without it almost the same as the stock. Talking from experience.

Good luck mate
