Both have nice look and personally I know Apex is nice and deep sounding, and louder than stock. Skunk2 seems to be a better price though. Thing about TRD is, why pay so much for something that looks soo stock. Also it is not loud enough to be distinctive as aftermarket.

I say tsrm (im stock no exhaust) ive heard them all and tsrm is best and is only .2 hp less than trd (the best leading exhaust) TSRM is much louder than TRD and looks better. TSRM

It's pretty gay to get an exhaust that looks like an aftermarket part (fartcan), and get an exhaust that sounds like a go-kart (fartcan). Why not have something that flows with the car?
