Looking for EK exhaust...
I know i've posted lots of questions about stuff, but i'm just trying to be as educated as possible before dumping money into my car. One more question...
I'm looking for an exhaust system for my car for some time now. I was sold on the Apexi WS due to it being quiet, but now like the look of the canister style exhaust now (Apexi N1). I'd like to get everyone's opinions on some systems, especially in regards to fitment, noise level (w/ and w/o silencer), design and build quality. The systems I am interested in are:
Apexi N1
Skunk2/RS*R
Thermal
Spoon N1
I'm leaning towards the Thermal currently because I have heard good things about it, the tubing is 2.5" and is fully stainless steel. I am also going to have a Civic Type R rear lip, so that may affect the fitment of the piece. I would appreciate anyone's opinions on these or other systems and if you have sound files, I would really appreciate if you could post locations or email the files to me. Thanks for the help.

Re: Looking for EK exhaust... (B96v6)
b96v6,
i have a greddy sp exhaust on my hatch and it's very quiet compared to most others. i really like the canister style also. if i were to get one i would go with the apexi n1. i also have a ctr rear lip although it's not on my car cause it's not painted but i have test fitted it on there and with my sp, it fit's fine. i'm not sure how the canister style exhaust would fit with the rear lip since it is angled. check my sig below if you want to see what the greddy sp exhaust looks like on a hatch

Re: Looking for EK exhaust... (B96v6)
I really like the canister look, but when i am with my friend who has a 5zigen fireball axle-back, everyone asks him what model arospeed muffler he has.
I have the world sport, nobody has ever confused it with some apc or arospeed crap.
Also, just remember, the less stock it looks to you, the less stock it looks to cops and theives.
People not suspecting you car is modded out = best anti-theft in the world
Go with the WS, it is more than loud enough to attract attention when you want to, but quiet when you dont
Just my $.02
