Default Midpipe or better solution for my 2016 Lexus IS 200t

so I installed Invidia Q300 axle back on my 2016 Lexus IS 200t and it's great... Although, I am looking to make my car louder. Why? Cause I want to. lol.

What my issue is I want to get a midpipe (preferably invidia midpipe) but I do not know which or if it'll fit on my car.

I was also thinking of getting a straight pipe, and I know it's super loud, but I was wondering if anyone out there has a similar set up (or even have a straight pipe with Joe Z axle back) and would like to share their thoughts on the setup.

In advance,

Thanks

This is a great topic. I have invidia axel back exhaust with injen cai. And I also like to make it little more louder. However I just feel spending $599 for invidia mid pipe it's just too much money. I am seriously considering going to a muffler shop, & possibly do a custom mid pipe.

I'm not understanding why you're afraid it won't fit. They have a 200t specific option.

I went to a shop and just had them make me a custom setup. Catback to two Vibrant resonators and two tips. My whole exhaust setup including labor cost about the same as just an Invidia midpipe. Obviously since you just need a midpipe it would be very inexpensive to make.

I had an Invidia on my last IS and honestly couldn't see how it cost that much but I guess if you are the only one on the market you can charge that lol.

I have a JoeZ axleback on mine and I had the resonators cut. I was gonna go for the midpipe but I decided to just cut the resonators off to see if I like it and that way I could save a lot of money too. When I had just the axleback the car sounded good but the volume was too muted. With the resonators off it now has the perfect volume for me and sounds amazing too.
