quick question about exhausts

i'm going to buy a cat-back system sometime this week. i know that the best sounding exhaust are Greddy Evo

Opinion related 100%. My cheapo muffler and 2.5" piping sound great to me. It's hard to make a turbo dsm sound bad...

i agree, the N1 on a 97 GS-T sounds good, but my other friends custom 2.5 piping sounded the same... it won't be very loud because of the turbo, but it adds a nice growl :D

sorry dont know what happened. let me try again. Greddy Evo and the Apexi N1. ok, here is my question. what do you guys think about the Apexi GT Spec.

...i'm gunna say its more expensive than the N1...at least i'm pretty sure it was when i looked it up... REALLY SERIOUSLY

The Exhaust will sound and perform pretty much the SAME N1 is designed to add...15hp (read it somewhere) and has a corresponding downpipe good for 20hp (read at same place) now...a shop can bend 3" piping and you can put a 3" muffler on your car and have the same/similar gains for half the price of an Apex'i system. shops do downpipes as well. it will sound the same....half price...

Yeah bro I got one N-1 and its really nice and give me like 15hp more and sound loud and sweet :smokin: I would get the N-1 almost the same has the gt one but much less on the price :smokin:

I had a n1 muffler and i took it to a exhaust shop to make me a 3" Cat-Back. It sounds great and it didnt cost as much as the "real" n1 cat-back. But i didnt know that exhaust shops make downpipes. How much do they cost?

Some do, some don't. If you can find a shop that will take the outlet off of your o2 housing and stretch the end of a pipe to fit that, and neck it out to 3" there, great. Many places will explain that you'd be better off to buy one separately. You can get a new no-name one shipped off of ebay for a little over $100. Another reason not to get a DP bent at an exhaust shop is because it is a 90 degree bend--probably the most extreme bend in your exhaust. You don't want that bend pressbent.

have the N1 on my gsx with n1 downpipe and a fp evo III big 16g. sounds nice and isnt ricy sounding. would highly recommend unless i missed some really good numbers for the GT. Spent $495 on the cat back, and $195 on the DP. overall very happy and wouldnt replace with anything ive seen so far.

I had a greddy evo exhaust in my Eagle talon, that car sound like WOW:ylsuper: it blow minds!!!, it was amazing, i never heard a eclipse sound like that. I miss it :disappoin.

And but the way, It was not ricy at all, greddy have very good exhaust and VERYYYYYY expencive. May be too much

MAGNAFLOW has good sound, not too loud and not too soft...
