It will absolutely make your car louder. I have the Invidia combined with the HKS Hi-power and I love it.
If you don't feel like buying the mid pipe just yet, you can also have your resonator removed on your stock mid pipe. It's like $30-60 depending on where you go. I had mine removed before I bought my Invidia. It gave it a nice rumble for just being stock. If you want to go louder, then buy the mid pipe.

I'm not familiar with the Fujitsubo exhaust but it being a catback, is the Invidia midpipe compatible with it since it's designed to replace an oem midpipe? The Fujitsubo midpipe rear flange may not be in the same location as the oem or Invidia midpipe.

good question. id like to know the same.
yes, a mid-pipe will make the exhaust louder. Now, which mid-pipe you get will determine how loud the exhaust will be. I'm sure this will help you out.

love the way your car sounds, now I feel like I'm driving a prius 
The exhaust isn't a cat-back, it's an axle-back. A midpipe will make it louder but also add a tone to your exhaust too. I first had an Invidia Midpipe with the stock exhaust. You could barely tell I had an aftermarket midpipe unless I rev it to like 5000 RPMs since the stock mufflers quiets very well. Then I installed the HKS Hi-Power and it became quite loud. Last week, I sold the Invidia Midpipe to get cash for car repairs. Just the HKS alone was too quiet. Bought it to the muffler shop and had the resonator and secondary cats chopped off for $93.xx total and it's super loud now. Louder than with the Invidia but strangely, my cabin noise got greatly reduced compared to the Invidia for some strange reason.
If you want less loud, get a Megan or Tanabe Midpipe. More louder, go for Invidia. Most loud, cut off both secondary cats and resonators but this doesn't increase cabin noise/drone by much surprising compared to aftermarket midpipes.
