eBay you can pick a muffler up for under 200 shipped...they are REALLY loud...either NA or Turbo...if you want something similar in sound to your SP i recommend an Apex'i WS...
http://www.optauto.com has both N1 and WS catbacks...i'd check that out

WS is a chambered muffler and you will lose power over the SP. The N1 is a loud exhaust, very loud. If you don't mind loud go right ahead but you might even consider the new SP 2 or whatever they call it that Greddy just put out.

I've had it for a year and a half and i think the n1 is a great exhaust. it has the looks and personally I like the sound.

I have a apex n1 catback exhaust and its not to loud it sounds great. The only problem i have with it is that in the center where your shifter is it hangs low and will scrap on speed bumps. my cars is lowered so it will be low anyway but with the piping in it hangs really low. I took mind off recently and am trying to find a way to fix the problem. But over all i like it.

Re: Apex N1 what are your thoughts ? (GreenEX)
i have it on my 00 coupe ex and it sounds good and performs okay. my only complaint is that it sometimes lies really close to my gas tank or it hits it sometimes.
on another note, does anyone know where i can get some tar to put over the rubbing on my gas tank (tar fell off due to constant rubbing by the axle back of the exhaust)
thanks

Re: Apex N1 what are your thoughts ? (pennies_hatchie)
I love my N1, it sound great with the dampener in or out, I can make my car kinda bark at low speeds with just a slight tap on the gas, and without the dampener @ WOT it loud!!

I recently installed the Apex N1 - while still breaking in the motor, the sound is awesome.......even at 4 grand it's loud....can't wait to really lay into it....and hear her sound off!!!!!
It's deep until around 3,200 then she opens up

pennies: they sell undercoating in a can at walmart that will do the trick. what do I think of the N1 I cant think its too damn loud good for some extra power ,If you dont mind the sound then go for it.

Re: Apex N1 what are your thoughts ? (redintheface)
I have a "stock style" exhaust (ie resonator standard bends to have it go over the rear susp. instead of under and oval muffler) and it bottoms out when I leave a parking lot and I'm at stock ride hieght...
I can't imagine that thing doesn't scrape EVERYWHERE... especially if you're lowered...
Oh and my thoughts are that regardless of extra HP... It sounds DUMB... and it hearing one drive by on an all but stock civic makes me embarrased to be in the same car...
I don't know about this one specifically but since it's selling point is that it's the MOST straight through... I'd imagine the angry bee's are strong with this one...
I think that unless you have a nasty swap or some serious work done it's TOO much bark for not enough bite... if you have serious power to SEMI justify having something that obnoxiously loud I guess it's up to you but personally I would NEVER run a canister style exhaust... Too loud and too raspy.
Again this is all my opinion though. I'm sure it does give more hp then my more audibly modest exhaust.

Re: Apex N1 what are your thoughts ? (NonovUrbizniz)
I think the N1 is good, along w/ gt spec. but don't they make silencers for the n-1?
they do make them for the gt-spec. when not racing, just put the silencer in, and when racing, take it out.

Re: (zdawg00Si)
you might lose a couple horsepower with a chambered muffer like the world sport, but i like the fact that i can have a conversation with some one at a speaking tone on the high way, after all it is my daily driver

Re: (jazzyfoo)
I'm perfectly happy with mine. Looks nice, sounds pretty nice not too loud or raspy, and feels pretty good when driving.

Re: (Echo7847)
I've had my N1 catback for almost 3 years on my SI. Good exhaust, decent gains and pretty loud. I'm a little pissed with its quality. My car is stock height, always keep the canister clean, and I just noticed that the welds on the machined tig welds of the canister are starting to crack. My car is not even driven in the winter (salt, etc.)
If I had a hatch I'd go with the Skunk2/RSR N1. APEXi N1 has shitty clearance.
I'm gonna splurge on the Skunk2/RSR N1 exhaust. I would DEFINITELY look into the Skunk2/RSR also.

Re: (nocaryet)
I have had my n1 exhaust on my ek for a while now. I car has a 2 finger gap all around, and I have yet to scrape pretty bad. Its not as bad as everyone makes it out to be. The sound is great I like it. Its not that loud when your cruisen, but in vtec Id say it screams pretty loud but a nice deep throating loud. No raspyness either I give it a 's up in my book.

Re: (junglerunna02)
i have had my n1 on my si for a little over a year now and i absolutely love it. at first, i thought it sounded a little weak and wondered why people were saying it was so damn loud. but after installing my jdm itr 4-1 header and high flow cat, that thing just woke up. it changed from a low hum to more of a raw type sound. i like it a lot. the sound factor doesn't bother me one bit.
