I'm gonna be purchasing an exhuast pretty soon and I wanted to know which performed better? Those of you who have a Apex N1 or a Tanabe Racing Medallion, let me know what you think of your exhaust

 

Which ever has 2.5" strait through design, including the resonator.

Do you plan on gettting a turbo for the EX at any point? If so get a 3" cat back.

 

both perform similar.
the tanabe is alot lighter in weight.
but the n1 is a straighter routed exhaust

neither is 2.5 their 60mm
theres no such thing as a catback system thats 2.5 right now.
besides custom.

60mm is close to 2.36inches, ahhh close enough.
get either one, both come with a silencer, both sound nice.
the n1 is louder though.
http://www.rollhard.com has the n1 for $430 http://www.importhorizon.com has the tanabe for 480 i think.

 

thermal research and development exhausts come in 2.5" and 3.00" cat back.

 

i say get the apexn1 muffler and get 2.5inch custom piping with a smsp carsound cat and get a resonator..that should do the trick plus with the custom pipe u can make the mufler fit perfectly under the car...ive seen many apex n1 cat backs that hang very low and look like they scrap a lot

 

i did not know that. thanks.

 

I have the Tanabe Racing Medalion on my 2000 Civic Si, and I love it it sounds great. I have reccomended it to 3 of my freinds with integras and they purchased it and love the exhasut as well. I would recomend it to anyone.

 

I got both!!! the tanabe on right now...i would recommend the medalion for all motor and apex n1 turbo muffler if yah going turbo like me...everybody likes my medalion sound and its also street legal...so plan ahead for future mods...
R-1303...good luck

 

damn... b/c the Apexi N1 is not out yet for my car, i drive a 2001 civic EX... but the tanabe racing medallion is out!! I dunno.... I want to get the N1 and get custom exhaust but I'm thinking the custom setup would cost me lots of $$

 

n1.............

 

i have had tanabe for 1 1/2 years. still perfect. it's loud, but a perfect tone to my ears.

 

does ne1 know if the n1 is street legal? i dont think it is but correct me if im wrong.

 

i have the tanabe, to an 2.5 custom exhaust piping

i LOVE it...with the silencer on, it has a perfect growl, with the silencer off, it has the sound of a beast on crack, i would recomend the tanabe RM !

 

I suggest the Tanabe Super Racing Medalion.

Stainless, and even better flowing.

I've got a TRM, I think my gripe is the piping has already started rusting through the coating at some of the seals (this can be expected, but it's only like a few months old). I like the N1 a lot, but haven't installed one so I don't know much beyond looks.
