I was told that the only difference is that the WS2 has a "rolled" tip WS tip is just a slant cut tip.

Can anyone else confirm this?

I own a WS2 for an EH and it has a rolled tip.

. The canister is made of the highest grade polished SUS304 stainless steel while the mandrel bent piping consists of high temperature, titanium particle coated mild steel. This muffler has always been the standard for aftermarket street exhaust systems. The oval canister houses a newly designed rolled tip for an extremely high class finish.

the one in the pic up there looks like a WS2. The original WS has the A'pexi logo on top of the tip, not on the sides.

I thought the big difference with WS1 and 2 was that 2 was going to be going over the rear LCA. Could have been under but it was supposed to be a big thing because of the fitment.

"Rolled Tip" meaning the tip is slightly rolled, the WS1 hat a cut tip, and it was very thin...kinda like a apexi N1

Exactly how mine looks. Love the exhaust, I will not run anything else. I doubt there is a performance difference between the WS and the WS2.

It was under the impression that the WS1 used a coated mild steel tubing for the exhaust plumbing, where as the WS2 supposedly used all Stainless.

oh, heh, i had it backwards. I just sold the WS that came on my car and didn't know if it was WS1 or WS2 and it had the logo on top so I guess it was really a WS2 the whole time. Had the rolled tip too. ah well.
