Default mid pipe sound

hey guys
i was just wondering, cuz i have a Fujita intake on my car now
but i want to get a Invidia mid pipe for the growl from the exhaust

but will i still be able to hear it over my intake??

anyone with a intake and midpipes able to answer?

my intake kicks in around 3 - 3.5k rpm and u can really hear it
so when will the mid pipes start to growl??

i wish i had more sound under 3k rpm and when u start the car up
but i still want it to be moderatly quite when im going slowww

thanks heaps

If anything, the midpipe will overpower your intake in terms of sound, not the other way around. I don't have that exact setup though so can't say for sure. If you want more sound under 3K RPM, an exhaust might be the first place to look.
