Default AWD/AXLE back only exhaust system choices

I'm looking to purchase a axle back system for my F-Sport AWD car. From my understanding there are a few choices....

GT Haus
Joe-Z
Invidia Q 300
Magna flow?

So I think I'm tossing out the idea to get the GT Haus. That system would cost over $ 1,800, and I just can't justify spending that much on 2 mufflers, when i could easily save over $1000. So my next question is what would be louder the Joe-Z exhaust or the Invidia Q300 exhaust? I want loud, but will i even be able to get loud with a axle back only? Also does anyone offer a mid pipe section for a AWD setup? Thanks for your help in advance. I'm looking to purchase tomorrow. If you look at this video the stock vs the axle back doesnt even sound that much different to me. Obviously its a little louder.

just installed the q300 today and well...lets just say i immediately ordered the midpipes after hearing it for the first time.. not that i expected too much, but it was marginally louder. in cabin, you barely notice. Lots of folks here seem to get the midpipes to up the growl, which i know doesn't help you with awd...

i have my Q300 coming tomorrow, but I'M Afraid it will still be to quite... Im stuck with AWD with no aftermarket midpipe options. Is it possible to have the room to cut out the cats in the midsection and just put a coupling in its spot and leave the resonators???

Do what I did bought the invidia mid pipe for my q300 and had a exhaust shop cut just the driver side front pipe and use the oem driver side front pipe to weld onto the invidia mid pipe.

Well I ordered and installed the Invidia Q 300 Axle back, and sadley to say it is not worth it at all to purchase a axle back system for this car, it hardly changed the exhaust note. That night of the install the ordered the invidia mid section,and will get it custom fabbed in like 0mghi2u and will post the results after.
