I don't see why not. Exhaust parts sold individually like that are designed to be compatible with the OE exhaust. So, it stands to reason they will also work with each other.

Was Borla tip to Apexi midpipe tip compatible right out of the box? No cutting and welding needed?

It's all bolt on. No cutting it welding is necessary.

I have a 2017 GS350 with the same engine, I also have a borla axle back. I was wondering if you lost any deep tone to your exhaust note with the apexi midpipe? I’d rather have a deep tone than a loud vq sound. Just looking for opinions and knowledge, love the new IS😤

@JCMno

i am curious as well as to how it sounds with Apexi midpipe, is it more raspy? Did it loose the deep sound? Or is it much louder.

im looking to pair Apexi midpipe with Remark axle back so I'm trying to gauge what it will sound for my car.
