APEXi N1 Muffler feedback??

Sup Guys,

I have a 99 spyder GS and am considering getting a muffler for it. Upon doing my search on this forum I hear the APEXi N1 mufflers get pretty good reviews and have a nice deep bassy sound which is what im looking for. I need a couple things,

First of which, is this APEXi N1 muffler official?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/APEXi...spagenameZWDVW

Secondly, Can I just weld the muffler on the factory piping?

Lastly, Anyone running this muffler on a GS Spyder?


Thanks

The link wasnt working for me. If it says "style" its a fake. How much is it? I'm willing to bet its a fake one. I wouldnt screw around with just a muffler, I would just go catback or atleast an axle back. A shop should be able to weld it to stock piping, but I think getting a can on its kinda pointless.

Thanks guys.

I'm considering just getting a muffler and go with custom pipping.
However is this an official APEXi NY Muffler?
Try this link,

Re: APEXi N1 Muffler feedback??

doesn't look real to me..

first off the price.. It's way to cheap to be official.

2nd bad grammar(or is it er ironic eh?) in ad.

3rd it keeps saying it's by ace muffler not by apexi..

That's the thing Thor, it's difficult to choose one without knowing what it sounds like. The last thing I want is for it to sound like is one of those high pitch annoying honda civic ones. I hear the APEXi N1's sound deep and bassy which is what im looking for in sound.

Sound has alot to do with the motor and piping to not just the muffler. If you look at 99.9% of all "fart cans" they all have basically the same design with only minor differences. Look on www.videos.streetfire.net they have alot of clips that have people showing off their exhausts

Re: APEXi N1 Muffler feedback??

u muffler has little to do with ur exhaust sound, but it also has a lot most of the sound comes from the motor and exhaust pipeing

the fart can hondas are all SOHC
most of the neons eclipse and all are DOHC

Re: APEXi N1 Muffler feedback??

Thanks again for the feedback guys.

PR Ricer - Im going to look into that site.

Longemoco - That muffler looks interesting. How does it sounds at high rpm's?

Xavier3jr - lol, thats the thing my whip is a GS Spyder meaning it comes with 2.4 SOHC, the worst of the eclipse engines performance wise. I know, I know... Had I known this prior to shopping for my car I would have opted out for the Spyder GST but My God those things are incredibly hard to come by in N.Y. not to mention expensive.
