Yup, Tanabe is if you want refined and relatively mellow. Perhaps the next-quietest after F-Sport. Invidia axleback for me is borderline, but plus any mid-pipe I've heard is a non-starter.

Where is a good place to order a Tanabe or Invidia exhaust system from?

also, I am seeing an invidia mid pile for sale but does Tanabe make a mid pipe too?

Stand by for hookup from Meraki Josh

I think Tanabe had designed a midpipe with someone here, but it didn't seem to make it to market, at least not yet. Prototype catback sounded quite loud.

I appreciate the feedback everyone. I listed to a bunch of sound clips. Tanabe and Invidia both sounds great but Tanabe is more what I'm looking for with the deep tone. I'll see how I like it then if I need more sound and HP, I'll add the mid pipe. Will the invidia midpipe with with the tanabe axleback?

Josh, you come highly recommended so I'm happy to work with Meraki. Will order from you very soon!
