I don't know if I'd say the Tanabe is louder. It's on my car and it isn't that bad. What it is is much deeper than the Apex'i. From the outside they are both similar volumes, but from the inside where the driver will hear them the Tanabe will give off more cabin drone. Making it seem louder. The Tanabe system weighs less, but other than that the systems are mostly equal. It becomes pure opinion on which exhaust you choose due to style, and pitch of exhaust note.

IMO their both great brands. The Tanabe, however is full stainless from the catback. The A'PEXi WS is black powdercoated up to the mufflers. I would choose the Tanabe over the A'PEXi due to the quality which I believe is higher with the Tanabe.
