FYI, Apexi resonated midpipes are pretty much sold out til November, we have non resonated that will be available.
GTHAUS should be in stock all variants.
Tom's IS500 axle backs are good in stock but the RCF version is out til Nov-Dec.

Other brands we can order as well.

their full exhaust systems are very expensive usually.

I am praying HKS comes out with a super sound master system but that seems like a pipe dream.

Nothing so far has really gotten me super jazzed. Exhaust systems seem to be getting prohibitively expensive. I’m considering exploring a custom valved setup from a local shop but haven’t been in any rush.

If you are planning on letting it go, lmk lol. I'm near OC if ever.

If I’m translating this correctly, the price for the NOVEL exhaust is 877,800 yen which is $5956USD / $8151CAD

just had the apexi resonated mid pipe installed, but still running stock axle back and it’s still very quiet. Need to find time to swap back to the Tom’s axle back with the midpipe to see if it made the drone worse. but either way I have an appointment in October to have some j-pipes fabbed and welded in place to try to tune out the drone so will keep you posted.

The toms axleback alone had bad drone?

I've had my Tom's axle back for a while now and never noticed any drone; the sound is really low and the intake noise is louder.

seems like the is500 specific Tom’s axle back has drone. It’s pretty obnoxious around 1700-2200 rpm’s.

I was one (if not the first one) to buy the Tom's RCF axle back after it was confirmed that RCF systems fit on our chassis
