Default Anyone have any experience with this axle back?

I'm in the market for an axle back, and have been searching on ebay, here, and craigslist daily. I've been seeing this axle back on ebay for a while and haven't seen anyone talk about it. Was just wondering if it's because it's trash or no one knows about it yet.

Rev9 Flowmaxx Axle Back

I've never heard of this one but I'll be getting the Borla axleback installed around early September. I'll post some sound clips once installed since I've only heard the one posted by Borla on YouTube.

Yeah, I was wanting that one as well, but couldn't justify the ~$700 pricetag. I'm thinking of going with the Invidia as opposed to the Tanabe...I'm light on the gas pedal, so I want something with a little more growl at lower RPM's without an annoying in cabin drone.

I have Joe Z Catback exhaust on mines. Me and my cousin went to try exhaust of his 14 GS at the exhaust shop, They cut the mufflers out and tried a few mufflers and ended up going with flowmasters exhaust. It sounds really good and unexpected.

Default Confirmed drone sound in car w/Cat backs

Prior to buying, I drove several GS F Sports, just to see if I wanted one.

One was a ‘14 GS 350 F Sport with a Borla cat back. It sounded sweet on the outside, but droned inside unless I was on the gas. 1500-2000 rpms—noise.

Nope. 20s and single, drone was no big—but I wouldn’t have wanted a 4 door sedan then.

Just a FYI

I actually did install it, sounds great. Been on for a year or so. Let me log in on my PC to upload. Had to switch usernames cause my other account was lost.

Sick! Is there a super noticeable difference? I've heard from everyone there isn't a difference in installing just the axleback, you need a mid pipe as well... did you do both or just the Rev9 exhaust?
