Default What's a good axle back??

I'm looking for a good axle back that would go good with my invidia mid pipe and fsport intake on my 07 is350. I'm looking for powerful but not obnoxious and not super expensive around 1k or less! What do you guys think??

Definitely HKS F sport, hands down the best imo.
Sounds deep and throaty, but not obnoxiously loud.
No drone either!

Definitely F Sport Exhaust. Brand new selling 1.2k on Sewell (with crazy discount already) and around ~700 used on classified. The F Sport exhaust sound just damn sexy. I have it for 2 years and smile everyday with it.

If you don't want loudness, you better remove that Invidia midpipe.. it is too raspy and obnoxiously loud. If you have the midpipe like that, you should combine it with a quiet axle back like the Tanabe. It is good combination. Anything else will make it too loud for sure.

I've personally heard the F Sport with Invidia and its a bit loud and raspy. It looks nice though. Honestly everything will be kinda sunken in with that diffuser and the exhausts are made for the car without a diffuser. I think your best bet will be to go to a muffler shop and have them out custom tips on it and try can extend it out the way you want.

I have the same diffuser together with the F Sport exhaust. I personally like it better than without the diffuser. It looks kind of stealth but at the same time standing out if you look at in a different angles. It is cool.

Yeah it's probably a good idea I was looking at some I feel like fsport is a little longer tips then other.

Maybe go with flowmaster so then you can add a tip that will stick out of the diff?
