I just messed up my Tanabe GForce Meddallion and i wanna get a new exhaust for my 97 civic ex. I'm choosing between a Hks Hi-power for $300 installed or a N1 for about $240. Any suggestions??

 

Real apex n1 catback is one of the most sexy exhaust for a coupe. Never seen a hks high power on a coupe before, i like it on my boys hatch though. I like the way n1's sound too.

 

those prices seem to be regarding the mufflers only. in that case, i have a NA N1 on my GSR with 2.25 axle back piping. stock header, stock cat. its pretty load when cruising at 80 because of the GSR tranny (4000RMP @ 80MPH). i like the way it looks, and the tone is a good amount deeper than my current set up, listed in my sig.

 

I was satisfied with my N1 until i backed into a curb n' fu@#ed it all up! doesnt look as good now! ha. sounds pretty good tho!

 

I really like the look of both, but for HKS unless you have a big motor it dosent seem to sound all that great. Go with the N1

 

Thanks so it sounds like i should stick with apexi. Nice i can save a copuple bucks. and it's only the muffler i'm changing, my tanabe piping looks ok but the muffler's all bent out of shape.
