Default Apexi N1 "style"

Hey guys. I was wondering if any of you have ever tried out the apexi N1 "style" on ebay exhausts. I've searched and i just want more info on them. I'm kinda on a buget so and im not looking to go into the high 10's or something. I just want an exhaust. I have a 95 eg d15b7. Thanks alot.

the "style" is either made by a cheap company in the same manner as actual
or has a defect that the named company didnt like
defect could be just discoloration or up to serious stuff like bad welds, or crooked flanges

In my opinion, I wouldnt get it..it may look similar to the real Apex N1, but it just doesnt have the same sound as it..my friend got one for his prelude and it sounded like a fart can..he ditched that and got the real N1 and doesnt have a single regret.

do you have actual experience? or is it just i heard? I'm running an apex n1 replica which i bought from egay, and I've had an real apex n1. My replica n1 sounds exaclty the same as my old apex did, the angle looked the same, and it fit perfect. Only thing is my replica n1 is a full stainless cat back with tig welds throughout, unlike my old apex which the muffler was the only thing that was stainless. I mean don't get me wrong, I know there are some crappy fitting ebay exhaust out there, but you just have to look.

well i got the n1 style because it was full stainless steel, 2.5 inch piping and very reasonably priced. I'm not having any problems what so ever, and I can't complain. Like i've said before, I've had the apex n1 and my replica sounds just like it. here is a clip of it on the dyno: http://www.we-todd-did-racing....DE%3D it sounds just like that from behind the car as well.

yes i have actual expierience.
i bought a DC Sports Style header. it was DC Sports but the badge was removed and the cat flange was welded on slighty crooked which rendered it useless.
$175 for a piece of junk metal

but yes not all ebay stuff is bad its a chance you take
