ws or n-1?

[whiteracer]

I need an exhaust system and i've heard good things about Apex'i. The price ain't too bad either, but I was unsure about the differences in the World Sport or the N-1? A few people on here have the world sport but obviously someone has the n-1 cause I can't figure out where else i would've heard of it. To those who have either, what'd you pay?

I have the N1 and it's definitely not for the meek. It's a loud exhaust especially with the silencer removed. The WS is more docile and easier to drive with everyday.

I think the N-1 would be a good choice if you're looking for more high-end power in your Civic but if you are looking for an increase in Torque (low-end to mid-range power), then go with the WS.

Exaggerated, yes. We're talking about changing the torque and hp curves by 4-5 (max) horsepower gains/losses. I have an N1 and it's real deep-sounding, not all bumble-beeish like other ones i.e. Tanabe's racing medallion.

They're all about $450-$600 depending on brand name, but basically do the same thing: make your car louder. Whatever you do, don't go to Bob's Muffler shop and get a crush bent exhaust Jimmy-rigged to fit because I have yet to hear one which doesn't sound raspy and annoying. Pay the ~$500 and be happy, or spend $300 and regret it everywhere you drive...

world sports can be found for around 400 bucks give or take some, i believe the n1 is around a hundred or so more dollars than the ws. the ws is great for daily driving, its quiet under normal acceleration and has a rather nice "deeper" tone under hard acceleration. im also pretty sure that the n1 is full stainless and the ws has stainless muffler and tip and the piping is like titanium powdercoated or something like that. the n1 should also be lighter than the ws. my ws seemed to be just as heavy as the stock exhaust, if not a little heavier. in a nutshell, for the mild daily driver i belive the ws is an excellent choice.
