Default question about apexi n1 for turbo

sup everyone. this is my first post... neways i am trying to figure out what size pipping the n1 comes in. in the description of the exhaust it says that the n1 is made for NA and turboed tegs... does that mean NA=2.25" turbo=3"??? basically does the apexi n1 comes in a 3'' catback?
if not what other types of exhaust have the same basic style as the n1..ie angled canister style muffler...? and yes this is all about looks thanks guys

i have the 2.5 inch on my GSR, but i do believe it comes in a 3 inch cat back as well for turbo applications...

hks carbon-ti....suitable for turbo...
the apexi n1 turbo spec exhaust tho...be careful...if i remember correctly its oversized to accomodate high horsepower...around 600 or so...so the piping is like 3.70 inches or seomthing....3 inch might sometime be overkill....what are you goals with the turbo setup?

well i am pretty much done with the performance of my car... my goal is.... 300whp... right now i have 270whp and 230wtq.... so 3.7" pipping would be too much.... i am pretty sure that the n1 doesnt come in anything over 3'' pipping it does however come with a larger muffler... i think what i am goin to do is buy a catback exhaust from Kteller (without the muffler) then buy the apexi n1 muffler and have it welded on. hks stuff is way way way overpriced.....

I have the apexi n1 it is a universal muffler you will have to order exhaust piping... It has a 3inch inlet.

well i was thinking, i have a thermal 3" exhaust on my car now, the only reason i wanted to change it out is because i hate the look of it.... i like the angled canister style exhausts and i like the sound of the n1. so i think i may just buy one of the n1 universal turbo mufflers...about $190 shipped and chop the muffler off the thermal and weld the n1 muffler onto the thermal pipping.... will prolly be hard to get the angle right but i think it could be done...

I have the Apexi N1 3" for turbo and I love it. Mine is straight and sometimes I wonder why people have their's angled. I know that the fewer the bends in piping, the better the air flow, but it seems like the piping could just come pretty straight from the downpipe.

turboGSR- thats jsut a universal n1 muffler welded onto custom pipping right?

ya right now i have straight pipping all the way back-no cat only flex pipe.... and its really loud....

PLAGUED DB7- thats what i was worried about, my friend had a completely stock dodge neon and he put a n1 on it and the thing was sooo freakin loud and annoying...i mean it was louder than my car.... and i have alot of stuff done with straight pipe....

BTW you said you like the way the n1 sounds... Im going to tell you now. I have full 3inch exhaust no cat or resonator and the n1 is loud... it has a deep tone to it still but it sounds NOTHING like the full catback kit sounds like... the reason the n1 sounds so good has to do with the cat and resonator so if your hoping for that sound with straight pipes you aint gonna have it!

I have a supercharged GSR with a few other bolt ons, running 8 pounds on factory internals, i make 233 whp, and 168 tqwp, on jacson fmu, i ordered hondata s200, and will be running that, but i have a apexi world sport cat back, would the apexi n1 in 2.36 in be better for my setup being more straight through? and alos i had a civic b4 this car, and the n1 for it kicks up, does the integra do this, or can you get it that way, or would you have to have it done by a muffler shop? I just like the look of it, what other n1 exhaust are good, in general and for superchargers?
