ApeXi Exhausts

How come many people choose the ApeXi N1 over the GT Spec exhaust?
Add your opinions on the 2 plz

because the GT spec is huge!...3.74inch piping. not everyone with a 240 has a turbo or engine swap...you dont want that huge exhaust with an NA car. it would be very very loud. with a turbo car, i would choose the gtspec...with an NA car, i'd get n1(actually i would never get n1, but those were the only 2 options...in reality, i'd get apexi n1 duals for an NA 240).

GTSpec for sr20det.... one of the best featured exausts out there.

GT Spec can be reduced by 7 sound levels :D
wat would happen if u had a GT Spec on a NA???

you would have no money for mods because it would all be going towards tickets

anyone have any sound clips of it?

You would lose lots of torque w/the GT Spec on NA since there's no backpressure...and losing torque on the KA's is a very BAD thing to do since you lose your trump card over the Honda boys...most you should ever use NA only wise on KA's is 2.50 inch piping

GTSpec for a turbo car, N1 dual without. but if there were other choices, my top pick would be GReddy DD. i love those...

Heh i saw a SR20 240sx in Ocean City driving around with a N1 Dual on it cause he just didnt like the looks of a single huge exhaust :bloated:

Whats funny is that the GP-Sports exhaust has a dual, its called the Spec-R and its tight. Again the GP-Sports exhaust is ment for the SR20DET its a J-spec company! lol but anyways, I even had an APEX'i 80mm I believe, and I have a straight Down pipe, and it still wasnt that loud. Lol and my friend bought an Spec-D for his FC-3, and still with his Cat, he Threw Fireballs! after Fireballs! Dude, the GP Specs are tight, much less they got Tight Titanium!

Wait so you guys are saying its bad to get the N1 duel also if i plan on puting a turbo on my KA, not planing on doing a swap anytime soon but the N1 Duel on a turbo should be fine right?? KA or SR... i wouldnt want to change my exhausts again after i go force induction.??:confused: :confused:


:confused: :confused: :sun: :flash:

the N1 dual is designed for the SR20DET. so it was designed for turbo engines. it just happens to work well with n/a applications too. this is becasue the N1 dual uses 2 smaller piping to make one big overall diamater. so you still get some backpressure, but still flows really well with a turbo. remmeber, no exhuast from japan is designed for the KA realy. they're all for the SR20DET's since everywhere else in the world has them.

ditto :huh: :huh:

well what hes sayin is that, with that exhuast that hes talkin about even with a straight down pipe, its still not htat loud. also, for you guys who don't know much about RX-7's, the second gens are called FC3S. so he was referring to a second gen rx-7 that his boy has, now if you also know about rotary's, they like to run extremely rich. the richer the better. since they have no valves, on the exhuast stroke of the motor, if you take out the CAT, on a stock 3rd gen, (FD-3S) it will spit flames out. now that his friend is talkin about a 2nd gen that has been work on, even with a cat, his FC still spits flames out when he shifts, or revs. cuase theres no valves to stop the flames from goin out of the exhuast ports.

Kewl :eek: :eek: something like what happond in FATF you know the first race.. exept the eclips the integra all the cars were doing it humm j/k

thankx for the clear up Rx7's are sweet:D :D

nah those were flame shooters....... u can buy em for your car.... shoots show flames out the tail pipe............. backfires etc just make a little pop and shoot out almost like a jet engine on afterburner LOL. Those FATF things on the line in the first race were like fire breather dragons LMFAO

I know about RX7's etc. etc. but the way he typed it was just incredibly hard to read.....

Seriously other than the RX7 part can you understand that stuff???

hahah i guess he was in a hurry.

ya i know about the flame shoorter thinges interesting but thats bout it.

I've seen vids of an RX7 with a bridgeport(internal work on the rotary engine), and those cars are LOUD as hell in addition to fire-shooting.

Rotarys are :bandit:

damnit someone revived this thread by voting in it. No I didn't revive it from the dead.

anyway since it has been revived, the Apexi GT-Spec, i have herd and dosent sound bad or ricey, it is massive tho. I will be purchasing one shortly

who keeps looking at these threads that are like 10months old? read the stuff on the first and second pages, the authors are probably still members rather than answering someones thread who is long gone...

I have actually thought about getting it in place of my N1. Probably won't though. It would be a waste of money on my part. I need to get a 3" downpipe.

the gt spec is great. i got it and love it. the only thing i'd ever pick besides it is the tanabe super racing medallion, but its loud...

I wouldn't get a Tanabe just because I really don't like loud exhausts. If I were to get another, I would probably get some kind of titanium system or just straight pipe it to the back with 4"

What About the HKS Hi_power Exhaust?

loud is annoying... if you have NA go with the dual. I had a quick question... what do you guys feel about the RS*R exmag cat back system? i think it's turbo application but is it quiet w/ NA as well?

What About the HKS Hi_power Exhaust?
its not full stainless steel


from what i heard rsr is a great exhaust

i have the gt-spec on my normal ka engine, and it is about 1/2 as loud as i expected. it is very deep and it seems like it would project kinda far but it really is not loud at all. like i can still easily hear conversations on the phone. but yeah for whatever reason it sounds good and no my car is not slower its faster. it seems people are just guessing about "oh yeah thats way too big you will lose backpressure it will slow you down"... well i can tell you it doesnt. so bottom line, gt spec is about 50 times better than people will tell you. I <3 A'PEXi !!!!!!!!

Some backpressure is not good for overall power. No backpressure is optimal. An exhaust that flows more air is going to give you more power. Maybe not in the low end, but who races in the low end? Its not a diesel. And my N1 was pretty loud so I can imagine a GT spec. Do you have a silencer? My N1 sounded like ten times better with a silencer and didn't lose any power at all. Not dyno proven, but it felt just as fast as before.

the gt spec is quieter than the n1. n1 is basically all straight pipe, and the gt spec has a huge middle resonator in it and the muffler is designed to be quieter.

huh that explains it. cuz seriously even with no silencer it really isnt that loud. and i had the silencer in at one point but it seemed slower to me. not really a huge difference, just maybe a little less responsive? not really sure how to describe it, but it did seem a little slower. but yeah no silencer now. my friends civic with a greddy evo exhaust is like 20 times louder.

ty u jeb bush for making it impossible for florida to find out i dont have a catalytic converter. ty very much

what you talking about? you should be kissing bush's ass because you don't have emissions.

Every car responds a little different. I think mine was really loud because I had IHE with no cat.lol

so does the N1 have a deep sound? cuz i dont want to sound like all my ricin' honda and acura friends (bumble bees in a can)

what you talking about? you should be kissing bush's ass because you don't have emissions.
LOL. I say no matter what we do to save the planet, some crazy shit will happen to us like a meteor hitting us or the sun bursting out and leaving us with no light and an infinite winter. Screw emissions.

i kinda agree, but what if everything was all no smog laws and you had total polution in your city! that would piss me off to live in a shitty place...

I think it's great that production cars have emission, I think they should be tight, but I'm still taking my shit off if it gives me more power. (They should keep putting out the RB26 and SR20 just lower performance to comply with emssions, but when you get the car, reprogram the ECU.
