With the mid pipes does the car get raspy when you get on the gas pedal hard?

Not really. A lot has to do with quality of the axleback that you put on. But just adding the mid pipe wouldn't make it an overage raspy sound

I find the Invidia axle back to have a nice deep tone as well.

One thing to remember a V6 will never sound like a V8.

Yea I currently have the Joe Z axel back and I'm happy with the deeper tone but heard if I add the mid pipes it becomes extremely loud. And like the guy above me just stated a V6 will never sound like a V8 so kind of nervous of what that "loud" sounds like

Some people get confused with loud and think obnoxious where the correct term should be deepens the sound.

It will a lower pitch sound at a high db.

Yes, they offer the full catback and axle back! Another popular exhaust option with our customers.

Apexi offers both the catback and axleback option for this car.

How's the cabin noise with just the Apexi axleback?

It's really good. It's the same system that they came out with for the IS/RC/RCF and the NX

Comparable. The Medallion touring systems are quite pleasant sounding.
