I don't personally have one (I have the Invidia Q300 Axleback) but when I was browsing, I did come across this: J2 Catback Exhaust

Sounds pretty good from the
as well.

I like my Q300 a lot. It's a bit subtle, yes. Cold start is a deep tone. After 3500rpm it sounds great. Under that 3500rpm it's subtle which is nice since I'm not a big fan of drone.

I bought it from these guys, they had good support when I had a question in regards to the "donut" / gasket.

I have a custom made axelback, that's loud but just the right amount of loud. It cost me around 400.

After listening to various aftermarket axle backs on Youtube I really was unsure which would sound decent without droning throughout all drive modes (eco, sport, sport+) It's my wifes IS and she confess that the stock exhaust is simply not loud enough. Very hard to tell online if one is much louder or drony than the other. I went with Invidia's Q300 with burnt tips. No drone with windows up or down and not much louder at idle but has a deeper tone. WOT has a good growl but the sound is not intrusive at all. Based on how the Invidia sounds like in person I would say Joe Z axle back is probably the other axle back I would have went with.
