Invidia midpipe/axleback not loud enough

Just got my midpipe/axleback from invidia installed on my 2015 is250 awd. I had my local shop do a custom weld to fit the wider gearbox. This is my first aftermarket exhaust and surprisingly it's not really that loud. Has a nice start up but barely any idle noise(besides cold starts). It's definitely obvious there's an exhaust but I feel it could still be a little louder. I couldn't imagine how quiet just the axleback would be. Any suggestions for the best way to bring out some more noise?

Running the invidia system as well and honestly its loud enough for me at the moment. You can probably go for headers if you want it to be a lot louder and get some performance gains too or you can probably find another exhaust system that could be possibly louder.

I was highly considering joe-z before I bought my invidia midpipe but I may end up getting a res delete next week.

I think it's too loud lmao...I ordered some vibrant resonators in place of straight pipe to help with the drone. I'll try and take a vid before res install.

I don't but heres a link of someone else. Honestly I wouldn't suggest it. It's obnoxiously loud and the drone inside is horrible. Gave me a headache every time I drove it.
