Default Question about the Apexi Throttle Controller + Axle-back exhausts

So I drive a 2014 AWD GS 350 F-sport and I have a couple questions regarding both of the mods...
1) How much does it cost to get the Apexi throttle controller installed AND is it removable (can I go back to stock and remove the device if i choose)
2) Anyone know what the JoeZ and Invidia axle-backs sound like? My car is an AWD so I can't enjoy a full catback system

Thanks a lot for all your help guys.

The Apexi throttle controller is really easy to install for yourself. Yes, you can remove it just as easy..

As for the Joe Z exhaust see the video in my thread. There is the stock version, axle-back and full exhaust

I reviewed the photos on this thread which helped during the installation. The hardest part was probably to remove the harness from the accelerator pad. Just be careful when removing the dash.

The apexi throttle will work with the exhaust installed. (I have the full invidia axle back + midpipe)

JoeZ offers the midpipe for AWD so you can get the full catback, which sounds phenomenal. Ask me how I know.

Honestly I think every GS owner should have the Apexi. One of the most noticeable differences for the money. I drive in red mode and sport all the time. Driving with the paddles is even more fun. Install can be annoying because of where connector is but its not bad. I bought mine on amazon from a seller in Japan.
