Default Apexi Midpipe vs Invidia Midpipe

I was just wondering which one do you guys prefer and if there is any major differences between them? like sound? tone? is one more deep and the other one more raspy?


Looking to purchase an Apexi Midpipe for 14+ Lexus 3IS RWD!

Thanks,

I have the Invidia midpipe. To be honest, I wish I went with the Apexi as it's deeper. The Invidia is quite raspy and sounds "ricey" at certain RPMs.

Apexi for sure. Have the full setup and def. a lot of people look back and comment on the nice tone and sound. Also you can set off car alarms easy at a parking lot at a very low rev.

You will def. love it after the midpipe, I was originally going to order just the axle back but for a few more hundred for the midpipe I couldn't pass that since shipping it would be much easier and one time install at the shop.
