You must realize that the Apexi World Sport and the Apexi N1 exhaust systems are two totally different systems and are used in two totally different applications.

The World Sport is a chambered exhaust. It retains some backpressure and the piping isn't too large in diameter. The Apexi N1 has a straight through muffler/canister and I believe (don't quote me), the diameter is larger. This can be found by a simple search.

You have to determine the goal of your vehicle first before you ask us what type of exhaust is better. For example, if you want some high horsepower, high boosting car, then the World Sport isn't for you.

Also, note that without a large restriction in the system (such as a turbo, catalytic converter/resonator(s)), the N1 will be VERY loud. Personally, I think it's too loud and is very annoying. You get the classic ricey "buzz" that you hear often.

The World Sport is reknown for it's quietness and sound. I had it on my Integra and I loved it. Yes, I sacrificed 40+ horsepower on top end with my turbo setup, but I wanted something quiet.

i was looking up the exhaust on some page and it sid that the ws and n1 both have 60mm pipeing the only differnence is in the muffler. here is the link to the site http://www.prostreetonline.com...austs/

i want something that will increase my horsepower and some that has the deep buurr sound (but i dont want the rice name)

im also going to be running a cat all the time so that would help to the quiet facter and do you think it would be better to run the N1 with a silencer so i could take it out when i want to race my car around as apposed to the ws without one

Both the WS and the N1 use 60mm piping. The resonators may be different lengths though. I personally have a WS and its a great exhaust. I need to get mine repaired or get a new one because my resonator has a flat spot and a hole in it from hitting speed bumps.

how loud is the WS exhust what kind of sound dose it have to it im looking for a particular sound. (i want something that is loud but then i coud quiet it down with a silencer when nessecaery)


eventually i going to upgare my camshaft intake manifold and fuel rail for starters..
would it be better to go with the less restictive N1(i beleive it is less restrictive t the the muffler design)

World Sport is much quiter than N1 from what I have seen. WS is usually mellow until wide open throttle where it produces some deep tones. I have the WSII on my 98 Accord and it sounds great....loud only when I want it to be
