Default Switching my exhaust, need some advice.

Currently I have the skunk2 exhaust however due to the fact that I drive a lot now, I need something quieter. I have skunk2 stage 1 cams, so the only thing that I was worried about was a quiter exhuast robbing power (the reason why I didn't buy one in the first place)

I'm now considering either the rsr ex mag, or the apexi ws. What do you guys think of either one for my setup? Like I said I have stage 1 cams in a b16a (so its not like I'm running some crazy N/A setup which requires the most free flowing exhaust out there.)

Thanks

Define 'robbing power'- is every single HP worth it to you? - Both of those systems will rob less than 1-3 HP -- You won't notice a difference -
--Another suggestion though... Put a Magnaflow resonator inline and replace the s2 muffler with a Borla -that'll help a lot and save you money (170 muffler, 60 resonator)

Well both the exhausts are decently priced so I just assume buy either thr rsr or the apexi and just sell the skunk2. In the end ill end up loosing like 200.00 which is well worth it for something quieter :tu

So which is it guys, the apexi ws 2 or the rsr ex mag? I know the ex mag has been around for years so maybe the newness of the ws is a good choice???

why not try a silencer?? I have no experience with them, but i hear that they can be effective, and though they may rob a few hp, they yield a lil better torque for daily driveability, and when u want to race the car u just take it out.

Just a suggestion, prolly the cheapest way to go aswell
