Default Midpipe/Axleback Combos

2016 200t:
I want to go with the Apexi N-1 Evolution straight H-pipe. Part # 144-KT03P. Does anyone run this Midpipe? I also am curious about invidias resonated X. And then I was going to run the invidia axleback with either Midpipe. How is the sound comparison between the straight H, or resonated X? I'd like to hear the turbo through the exhaust, while not being raspy. And has anyone yet found a downpipe for us?

if your gonna run the APEXI N-1 EVOLUTION MIDPIPE, why not run their AXLEBACK as well? you wont be disappointed( in my humble opinion). the sound is really nice. you can see pics of the axleback in my (slowwwwwww) build thread. its your build though, so do what makes you happy. I actually did the opposite and bought the APEXI AXLEBACK and the INVIDIA midpipe.....you can hear the turbo really well with just the axleback and a intake (my wife complains about it), so im assuming with the midpipe it will be even more so.
id like to find a downpipe for our vehicle as well...been looking online...maybe not hard enough though.

Agreed^. Nice to run a consistent setup.

Let me know if you want pricing on any exhaust.

No downpipes yet.
