Default What type of exhaust!!! OEM or N1

I have a 93 Si Hatch in progress. In the spring, my brother and I are putting a sohc in. What exhaust should I have. I think the Apexi N1 sounds and looks hot, but would just the sound of the motor be better?? OEM muffler.

WHATS YOU CHOICE??

the ws isnt loud at all its suppose to be just as quiet as stock... maybe a little bit louder... but performs much better then oem... and its also cheaper then the N1... and dosent have as big of a ricer looking tip

second that, sounds really nice, looks even better, not to big of a bitch to put on. Be prepared to drill out the Cat studs and replace them with bolts though. I would say the WS is just about stock at idle, with a nice tone up to higher rpm. definently nice torque increase at low end.

you might be able to find just the muffler... you can pick up a apexi dunk uni muffler its kinda the best of both worlds ish...you get a nice quiet deep tone below 4000 ish rpm.. but then it starts to get louder as the rpm goes up..... but i would just opt for the complete WS catback

lol sorry but I don't think a SOHC is that special to hear. Get whatever you like, I think the N1 is TOOOOOO loud, you could lose hearing if you have sensitive ears. My exhaust is pretty loud but not too bad. 5zigen
