I have searched a little bit but have not found anything yet concerning my specific situation. I absolutely love the look and sound of my Apex-i N1 exhaust but you guessed it, cops don't. I was never one to care what they thought until i got hassled last night about my "loud muffler". (Not the first time either)

My question is will the spoon axle back match up to my current Apex-i b-pipe or will i need to invest in a T1R b-pipe or something similar. I have always wanted the Spoon exhaust and now would be a good time considering I have gotten warnings from half the cops in the area.

 

1:00 a.m BUMP

 

im 99% sure it will bolt right up.

 

Me too, just would really be a bummer if I dropped 800 on it and it didn't fit/look right.

Still anyone with first hand experience?

 

Whoops 800, meant 400........i guess its a bit later than i thought!

...OMG... check my sig.
And yes... it should bolt up. Compare the rear section with a stock one. If they are the same length you won't have a problem.

 

if you want to get rid of apexi N1 cause of noise I don't think the spoon would be better

 

But there are 2 styles spoon mufflers out there for sale. the one that looks like the N1 and one with a small outlet. Im guessing your going to get that one right? Well I heard it is a very quiet tone, but when you smash on the throttle, it sounds mean as hell.

Alot of people said that but a buddy of mine has it on his B16 hatch and its alot quiter/deeper than my Apex-i driving normal but is equally as loud when he gets on it (but way sexier ) which is pretty much what i want.

The pictures of the Spoon street silencer exhaust makes it look kinda weird looking (but still it resembles that of the RSR exmag and the worldsport design) but i have never actually seen a picture of that exhaust on a car. I would guess it's very quiet just like the fore mentioned exhausts and yet they sound great at full throttle.

I definetly would like to keep the N1 look and sound while keeping it somewhat subtle looking (Spoon is, Apex-i definetly is not) and soften up the tone while driving like a law abiding citizen!

 

i'm assuming that you don't have the silencer in your n1?

 

i have a spoon exhaust bolted on an apex b-pipe. fit perfect.

wow u cant drive. that exhaust is kinda shitty sounding too

 

screw you. man i love hater-tech. i didnt ask for driving critique. i just posted it so he could hear what it sounded like. if you dont like my driving or the sound of my exhaust dont say anything.

 

This exhaust is still pretty loud bro. Just to let you know.

 

thanks for the reply's. Elephantegra, my car looks like yours now from behind! Wasn't hard at all to install. For some reason the threads on the bolts used for the N1 stopped before it was tight so i had to grab new bolts and sealed it up with some Copper high temp silicone.

From there on for some reason the hangers weren't matching up great with the little rubber guys causing the exhaust to hang weird. After molesting the black rubber hangers for a bit I finally go it to sit nice and look all pretty!

For everyone saying it's still loud, mine isn't! Or maybe I'm just that used to my Apex-i N1. Inside the car it's pretty noisy but after letting a friend drive it so i could get a better feel for what everyone else is hearing, i love it. Nice soft but deep rumbling tone.

I luvvvvvs my Shhpooon
