Could not be happier with my resonated Apexi midpipe. Highly recommend it.

And if go midpipe only and find it’s not loud enough you could always then add an axle back exhaust. I intentionally started with just the midpipe and now have zero intention of ever making things louder with an axle back. Plus I love the stock exhaust tips.

I don't see many videos when you hit the rev limiter, but will just a mid pipe make it more like a "bang"?


Was looking at this video and kind of liked it. Just apexi mid pipe.

The bang has always been there - it's just less muffled when you add a louder exhaust system.

got tired of waiting so ordered the Tom’s rcf axleback and waiting for it to ship from Japan. Now I’m tempted to order the borla to try out…..

sadly borla didn't list the optional mid-pipe, but on their youtube it shows rc-f optional mid-pipe that looks like not a bolt kit and requires welding, maybe they are releasing mid-pipe later?

Price gouging much borla? Similar mustang GT axle back is over $500 less.

why is the is500 axle back so much more expensive?

yea saw the midpipe in their video, seems like you’d just need to cut the stock resonators off and slip on their midpipe and clamp it on.

Revel (tanabe) is the best deal for axel-back

It's a really low volume product. I kind of understand. I'm happy they are offering one period.
