the lowdown
dude, get the muffler, go to a shop and get the mandrell bent 2.25 pipes, it is basically the same thing as cat back, and it's a whole lot cheaper, ne body who tells you that it doesn't sound as great is a liar, in kansas, all of my friends do what i have done and that is buy the muffler and go to my friends shop and get all the pipes made and equipped for 40 bucks and it is hella loud, i have a hayame hx type 2 muffler with mandrel bent 2.25 pipes and it is louder than a mofo, not to mention it has some great top end performance gains, hope i helped ya out, lata

Just because it is loud doesn't mean it sounds good :o If you want loud then but a strai pipe. I guess it depends on the person also. If loud sounds good to you then I can't really argue against that.

Sounds good. My friend has a APEXi on his Tercel and it sound decent... and that is on a tercel. Good luck with it.

I would have to say that it depends on the application as to which one would offer better gains, but as far as loudness goes I think the N1 will give you the loudest note. The tanabe is more of a winy sounding exhaust while the dunk is a deep low sound. This is just from what I have heard on my friends cars though. Like I said, it depends on the application.
If you tell me what you drive I might be able to offer some advice.

in about 3 months i will be purchasing an EG, which is the car i would be putting the exaust on. the N1 and dunk seem good to me, because im looking for an exaust with that loud deep import-throatyish sound.
b.t.w., are these exausts you'd recommend for an EG?

IMO, apex dunk is loud and annoying. i heard one on a civic going 5 mph and it was so loud you could hear him coming from a mile away. as he drove away, it just got worse. it wasnt a clean sounding exhaust.

I have 3" downpipe, 3" flex pipe, 3" test pipe (no cat), and 3" mandrel bent custom exhaust connected to a 3" Apex'i N1 turbo muffler. It flows extremely well and it doesnt even sound that bad, of course i have a turbo so it is much quieter than NA cars. It really wont sound that bad without a resonator, and it will flow better.

go custom
as long as you get a high flow cat and a muffler you like, id just go the custom route. i got my high flow cat and piping for $130 installed...to me that is a whole lot better deal than what you would spend on a name brand exhaust system. just my 2cents
