If you want a quiet exhaust, the N1 is not the one.

I have the A'PEXi N1 catback exhaust in my 1997 Type-SH. Believe it or not, it is actually very quiet at idle and at low RPMs. It is extremely loud at high RPMs though, especially when VTEC engages.

The only reason that I picked the A'PEXi N1 over the HKS exhaust is that my Prelude is a Type-SH, and there is no offering from HKS for my model. If I had the choice between the two, I'd take the HKS, and the A'PEXi would be a close second.

the HKS is nice and quiet, relatively speaking. good exhaust note.

the N1 will probably have better gains though.

i have a super drager. i like it. though i'm thinking about selling it.

open header &gt; all

it's actually not that loud..if u tape 50 pillows to ur face to drown out the noise..u might end up dying in like 5 minutes tho..

u can always go with custom piping and a muffler of ur choice.
