Advice needed - [Axle back or midpipe] + [intake] preferred?
I have been searching clublexus for several hours and cannot find a clear answer, thus I am hoping someone here can provide a better insight.
I want my car to be subtle (stock sounding) between 0-2500 RPM, anything over that it will have a deep growl to it with no drone.
I was thinking of buying an invidia midpipe + takeda intake, but if the midpipe overpowers the intake sound then I would buy the HPS intake instead.
Should I get an axle back over midpipe or vice versa, if so what brand do you recommend?
Would the recommended midpipe or axle back be too loud to hear the takeda intake?
On a different note, do you get better MPG with takeda intake, there were a couple of reports on the RC forum that it does.
ANY advice will be taken into consideration, thank you all in advance!

My customer was in the same situation.
He bought a AFE intake, wanted more loud, so got the midpipe and says its perfect.
Heard his car in person and it sounds good!
Let me know if you want pricing on both products.

Thanks for your input, Josh. Would the sound of an invidia midpipe overtake the sound of the takeda?
Would you recommend a different midpipe over the other?

The AFE intake is pretty loud on its own. The midpipe will overpower the intake in the higher RPM range.
