Anyone have in person experience with only a axle back on a 2UR-GSE?

just look up axle back exhaust for GSF or ISF or RCF on boobtube and a bunch will come up. just with more brands like Joe Z, Borla, etc. of course they sound a little better and louder in person

Where do you get the power from for the valves (assuming they're electric)?

A small harness runs through the drain plug in the trunk. After that, it runs over to the amplifier and only 2 wires get spliced. You have a small remote keyfob in the cabin with an open/close button that works off Bluetooth

Our Apexi container is landed and products will be ready to ship next week.

Inquire for any axle backs and midpipes!

if you read the what the description said, "Exhaust check, Apexi midpipe with no secondary cats and no center resonator. Factory headers and mufflers still on. Car's warmed up all the way." sounds good!

I know, I was asking if an IS500 sounds similar with just a midpipe. An aftermarket midpipe on an IS500 will remove the secondary cats and potentially the resonators. I don't know if the IS500 mufflers are similar to the RCF mufflers.

Agreed. It'd be great to have a bit more bark but keep the stock mufflers, since they look pretty good.
