I got the Apexi resonated midpipe and Borla axleback I now know what you mean about that 2500 rpm frequency. Did you notice it getting any better after the exhaust breaks in?

Let me know your experience and sound clips would be great!
I may be a little late but I also have the borla axleback and I paired it with the gthaus midpipe, it sounds great, makes popping noises sometimes too I thought something might’ve been wrong with it at first lmao but it’s normal and sounds great if you haven’t already gotten your midpipe

Have you considered PPE? It's a true X pipe midpipe. Rather than the H pipes you see with Apexi. Someone can correct me, but GT Haus also does an H pipe X pipe looking midpipe?

RR Racing also uses them for thier full exhaust.

Are you running the Apexi resonated midpipe with the OEM axleback? If so how have you liked it?
