So as the title states, I have a 2015 IS350 F-Sport AWD and I just installed an Apexi Midpipe.

It's not as loud as I thought it would be. I am open to the idea of getting the ppe headers, but I was told that that replacing the F-Sport exhaust would should be my next step. I was really interested in the Stillen axle-back, but I can't find it for sale anywhere (I saw another user with this combo and absolutely fell in love) unless someone could recommend another exhaust? Please let me know!

... just for note in the future I plan on running quad exhaust tips o.O

You can add a Tanabe axle back or Apexi axle back or get headers to be loud!

The tanabe we supply is a quad tip design.

Are you saying you have a midpipe with the stock catback?
I'd love to hear it. Can you take a video?

Isn't the F-Sport an axle back? Yes, I have stock headers, Apexi midpipe, and the F-Sport exhaust. I can take a video tonight.

Sorry for the ****ty video, my phone fell over at the end. This is on a cold startup. It sounds really good in the 3k-4k range, otherwise it's a lot quieter in person.

Did you just install it?

When I first installed mine (also paired it with F-Sport axle-back) it was not as loud as I anticipated. Drove about 2000 miles since and the tone is perfect IMO as it is much deeper now that the exhaust has broken in.

If I am not wrong, there is the F sport stock exhaust then there is an F sport exhaust upgrade options which cost like 1000+ and is a lil louder than the stock F sport. So unless you get it as an option or if you purchase and upgraded yours, there is a chance that yours is the stock stock and thus is the reason that its not as loud as you thought it will be.

I might be wrong, dont take my word for it

Yes mine is starting to break in and I am liking the sound more and more.

I'm looking for a bit louder exhaust, so Josh from Meraki Autoworks hooked me up with the PPE headers. Once I get those installed I will surely post a video!

Please post a sound clip! Thinking of doing headers as well.

Anybody running into emission issues running these midpipes?
