This is a very broad topic. It all really depends on your sound preference, performance, size, etc.

The Apex'i WS is a very quiet smooth-sounding exhaust that I like a lot.

Definitely have to go with the Tanabe SMH. I have it, I love it. The WS2 is a good choice as well, but I just prefer the look of the SMH a little more.



I also used to own a Spoon N1, and liked it quite a bit. But for the cost, I'm much happier (both aesthetically and audibly) with the Tanabe.

All canisters look the same

SP


SMH


But I don't think they make the SP for the hatch (anymore).

Here's my Spoon N1 from way back in the day:

Go with the WS2. Clean-sounding and cops won't hassle you for sure.

i had the tanabe on my old ej1 and i loved how quiet it sounded...and i had the apexi world sport on my s2k and i loved how quiet it sounded...honestly they sound the same and damn near look identical minus the tip. i say just get whichever is cheaper as you'll be happy with either one.

I can't speak for the other two, but I would vote AGAINST the Apexi WS2. I have it on my car, and LOVE the sound. But the fitment will keep me from ever buying another Apexi exhast. It fits really bad, rattles against the fuel tank, and hangs low. :thumbsdown:

Again with the skunk2.

It doesn't even compare with the quality and sound of the exhausts this guy is looking for. Not to mention difference in price range.
