I'd keep your WS2 and spend the money differently. A vtec head or some cams would give you more power. Know this isn't your answer, but just my .02.

Yeah...there isn't going to be a difference in power. Mostly sound. Try and listen to some sound clips off of youtube and decide what you like better. They will both produce the same performance (about 1.5 hp)

The WS2 is gone, the piping on it is torn up, and bent. If any has any pics or clips, post them up.

im gonna have to shut you down here buddy. I have had both the N1 which the back of the can rusted. i now have the BC spec II. i do love the exhaust however its not a good daily exhaust. its a track exhaust. youll get way to much attention from cops and its awfully loud even with the silencer in. i vote the HKS unless you have a dual purpose car like me

+1 for HKS exhaust.
Its music to my ears.

N1's not bad tho, i love how it sits, although from many experiences that ive read here on honda tech, the N1 is louder than the HKS is, if your aiming to not attract cops.

the apexi is not loud it all but between those to get the HKS.

(sprock_rocker) If you read closer buddy i stated the apexi is not loud (not the BC2) but i prefer the BC2 over both them because of cost and performance

the apexi sounds okay...maybe a little too loud for my taste...i'd go with the hks, its not as loud and sounds alot better.

Right noe i pretty much have a BC2, it's a VRS 2.5 piping, no cat, no resenator, and no muffler. I hate it its way to loud for street use.
