Default AWD F sport Exhaust + MIDPIPE

Been posting quite a lot these past days because i'm in the middle of buying all my mod parts

As the title says, I have the F sport axleback and looking to buy a midpipe to make my IS sound more aggressive.
Any thoughts about the best AWD midpipe, or should I buy a RWD midpipe and custom fit it as some other members suggested me to do so?

Invidia RWD + custom
Tsudo RWD + custom
Apexi AWD


Any other options I haven't thought of?
For those who had to custom fit a midpipe because of AWD, how much did the total labour $ end up being?

No real need to custom make one since aftermarket ones are already available for AWD with the 3 brands you've listed.

Those options are the easy go-to's since you can buy the mid pipe individually.

The hard but not impossible finds would be a used JoeZ or Ark mid pipe. They don't sell them as an individual piece but other owners will sometimes sell it on its own when they feel the full exhaust is too loud for their liking.

Thanks for the reply,
But am only able to find Apexi as the only make who has an AWD midpipe.
Where did you see the other 2 brands making AWD midpipes?

Invidia made a prototype back around April, reach out to ModinJapan as they were involved.

I thought I read somewhere Tsudo was also going to make an AWD system, I could be wrong. Check out SEMotors, they should be able to definitively tell you.

We can also get the PTS/JOEZ midpipe for AWD for 3IS.

Let's get back to the main subject.

I'm now deciding between full Ark Catback or F-Sport axleback (already installed) + Apexi Midpipe.
anyone experienced the difference in sound? Which one is louder?

F Sport axleback is one of the most expensive and quietest exhaust out there.
