Apexi N1 or GT Spec?

[WhiteGST99]

I'don't know if it's better taht I buy an Apexi n1 or a Gt spec which is the most appropriate for daily driving?????

I don't understand what you mean by appropriate. There is probably only a slight difference in performance if they are the same diameter, but sound different.

By appropiate i mean an exhaust sistem which have long life (8000-10000 miles) without change it, I use the car for daily driving........

any 3" cat-back exhaust will do fine as far as performance and daily driving. GReddy EVO has a deeper sound, N-1 has been said to be more 'ricey' sounding.

The GT Spec has larger diameter piping, I think.

Hmm, honestly I'd look into a Borla. I just got one on my eclipse (97 RS..I know i know..i should have gotten at gsx..but I'm in high school and couldnt afford one.) They're a little more expensive..Borla.com has them for around $800, but you can get one at nopi.com for around $610. They are nice and deel sounding, powerful and have a million mile warrenty, so you dont have to worry about replacing it.

deep sounding*

3" piping from the engine back seams two big for stock eclipse's(turbo).I found a exhust shop here to make a 2.5 downpipe and piping with no cat or resinators for $150,only thin is i need to get a muffler.They sell a Stainless Magnaflow muffler for 120. It has a 2.5 inlet with dual 2.5 tips.

you want as big an exhaust as possible for zero back pressure on the turbo. 2.5" is acceptable, but if you are going to be doing any other kind of mods you will regret not getting a full 3"... ant 610 seems like a lot for an exhaust. check these links out:

Yeah, $610 is kind of high for an exhaust system. I got it when it was $525 and it went up to $610 about 3 days after i ordered it..talk about good timing, huh? By the way im new here. I read posts alot but was just kind of too lazy to register and post. I finally got it done with..so nice to meet all of you.

Make your own, or have an exhaust shop do it. I don't see why people pay 600-1500 dollars for pipes and mufflers. the mufflers are cheap, and so is pipe. An exhaust shop can whip one out for you way under retail on some of these.

I got a price for a 2.5"downpipe, 2.5"pipes and for them to retap for the rear o2 sensor for only $150 and you can find a muffler for about $50 to $150 and still come out saving about half.
