apexi world sport exhaust question
does anybody have this muffler on a 99-00 civic si the reason i ask is because i bought one over the weekend i got it on and its sound bad when i rev high it starts to sound like one those cheap ricer autozone mufflers and i know damn right apexi will not put that on the market i want to know if your muffler sounds like that or if you know anyone with the ws2 i had the n1 muffler and it sounded great now i dont know if the ws2 should sound like a bean can and no its not a cheap ebay muffler it the real deal

Was it "re-done" with mandrel bends or crushed bent? If its the later then thats your problem right there! The crush bent corners magnify and reverberate sound through the rest of the exhuast system giving it a tinny/ raspy(ricey) sound! At least thats what the guy at the muffler shop basically said!

I actually have it on my car and it sounds good..... In fact, it just sounds a little meatier then the stock muffler. Even when you rev it up it shouldn't sound like a "pebble inside a coke can"..... BTW, I have a 00 civic si.... Personally, i think something might be wrong with your muffler.

I have the original WS on a b16a w/ the stock exhaust manifold. It sounds slightly louder than stock, unless your @ WOT. Also, it did not come w/ a silencer. Mine's a full catback. I love the sound, much quieter then an N1. I agree with the opinion there's something wrong with the muffler... possible hole? Exhaust leak? Just throwing out guesses.

Re: (MOST)
IMO, it sounds like crap because of your stock crush bent piping.
The flow sucks, until it gets to the axleback, which it has a drastic change in flow, thus making the ricer fart sound.

Re: apexi world sport exhaust question (MOST)
In my case I went with the full cat-back..... I don't know if that has anything to do with it. Nonetheless, it still shouldn't sould like a pebble in a can. Good Luck.

Re: (RCautoworks)
if you read the responses in your thread, you can easily see that it sbecuase you dont have a apexi resonater and u have stock-like piping. buy the full catback and call it a day
