Here's a vid of my GE8 with the A'PEXi N1 Evolution. A couple slight bits of full throttle and a nice little downshift too. Ignore the coughing, the girl and I are both sick. You can hear her at the end talking about the exhaust popping. LOL

Absolutely brilliant video EvilOne! 
I'm looking into a similar (okay, identical) setup for my autocrosser/daily.
Any chance you could do a video using the same location but doing some 1st/2nd gear pulls?
Thanks!

Im seeing a ton of money for something as small as an axle back.
Kinda wondering why you guys are not buying the ebay catbacks offered in 2.25inchs and having a shop weld on a good quality muffler.
Less then $200 overall in parts, and catbacks interchange betweend GD and GE. the ebay ones are GD inspired, so the axlebacks if you decide to get one is GD style

3/4? there is only 2 I see.
Who cares? I said you would spend less then $200 if you got the catback and a muffler. Then pay a shop $20-50 to cut off the cheapass ebay muffler and weld on your replacement

I replaced the OEM exhaust on my 2009 Sport with an HKS Hi-Power Axleback:
Notes from the mod:
- Much nicer sound (obviously)
- Sound level about the same as OEM (which IMO is nice as I dont want a loud fart can)
- Sound from inside the car is nicer
- Engine droning noise at highway speed is gone
- No difference at all in fuel consumption (which I track very closely since day 1)
- No noticeable difference in performance (though I have read claims of 2-3hp gain)

Sorry I'm a little late to the party, but how different of an exhaust note do you think you'd get if you had a Tanabe Medalion AB instead of that Greddy? That setup is a little too raspy for me but I'd wager that has more to do with deleting the cats than the Axel Back, no?
Forgot which header I had on that the time but both cats were deleted. This is with the yonaka catback.

Probably be a little quieter. Less deep. Yeah has a lot to do with deleting the cats. Also the resonator on the b pipe.

Thanks for posting those links, car sounds good in all of 'em! Just bought the test pipe so I think I'm going to have a similar sound to your converter, b pipe and greddy, I just have the Tanabe instead. Might get the header later on down the road.

In-car clips of the Tanabe Touring Medallion axleback on an otherwise stock 2012 Sport (Spoon panel filter lololol)
Okay, these videos are useless & filmed vertically (welp), but they illustrate a basic sense of how silent the exhaust is (and how bland a sound it makes 
).
This vid is sitting at 70ish MPH, turn the fan on to give noise comparison, then turn stereo to what is a fairly quiet setting to show how easily that overpowers the exhaust, even as I downshift and take it to red line.

This vid is 30 seconds of sitting at a stop light (note how much louder the turn signal is than the car idling & that the car is sitting in an underpass beneath an interstate), I then take off gently in first, take the car to red line in second & settle off at about 60. This video taken in the cupholder next to the gauges, making things a bit louder/bassier.
