I'm looking at the 80mm World Sport 2 exhaust right now for my turbo Prelude. From what I've read, they are very quiet, sound good, and perform well. I can't speak from any first hand experience though.

I have no experience w/ teh WS on a Prelude, but I had one on my 91 Civic Si & it was awesome, and a friend has it on his 2000 Si & it again sounds awesome. It is about as low-profile as you can get w/ an off the shelf catback, and it has a nice mellow tone. I'm sure the WS for the Prelude is similar. In my experience, fit & finish was great, and quality is definately there w/ Apex'i exhausts (I've had 3 different Apex'i systems).

Amazing pretty much sums this exhuast up......i have the World Sport 2 on my 95 Si........overall it is a quiet exhaust but gives a good tone when needed......usually around 3000-3500 is when you can hear it the most.......i remember before buying it i researched FOREVER to find the perfect cat back.......and this one is perfect.....not loud but still holds a great tone. good luck~!

Yeah the Apexi WS is a very quiet Exhaust. It has just a mild note even with my hi-flo cat. The only complaint I have is that the piping hangs SUPER low.

Apexi WS2 is what a factory sport car exhaust should be right out the box IMO.

great exhaust, i thought it was a little timid at first.
but i love it

it hang quite low when i first had it installed, it knicked the road a few times and all the gaskets needed replacing.

So make sure who ever installs it tucks it in right

lost a bit of high rpm pull but the increase in midrange power is perfect for the city

I have the Apexi WS and when i first installed it, i noticed the piping hanging too low so i went to a muffler shop and had them readjust the hangers to a different position and now my car does not scrape anywhere. I am dropped on TEIN S-Tech Springs and i have no issues with clearance what so ever.

Good LUCK

They bend the hangers so the piping sit higher. I just did it on mine. That is the only way to fix the issue. It works out pretty good.

i'm also considering getting the apex ws.. but the thing is i've just lowered my car with some coils bout 1 finger gap all around and from reading this thread you guys say that it hangs pretty low... i don't plan on raising it any higher and really don't plan on scraping up the exhaust. i would like total cleareance so is there another way to fix this problem or a different option. how about the apex n1, does that hang lower than the ws.. But n1s are so loud
