Default Accord 6th Gen Apex'i WS2 Review

I did some research and came to the conclusion that the Apexi WS2 would be a good choice as an exhaust for my 2001 Honda Accord 4cyl 4dr. I ended up paying $430 + tax for the WS2 from INDKoncept. I wasn't about to pay the $60 for shipping, so I drove to pick it up. I wouldn't recommend using your accord to pick it up because of the boxes massive size. I brought it back in pieces due to the boxes large size. The welds looked like they were good quality to coincide with the Stainless steel piping. The exhaust came with everything I needed, gaskets, instructions, piping and bolts. The installation was a piece of cake except having to getting the bolts off of the cat. A lot of Break Free and a 5lb weight got all three bolts off of the cat. When I went to install this exhaust, it fit perfect. The sound of this exhaust is one of its best attributes, nice deep tone but yet quiet until WOT. I did notice a gain in my power band, but once I dropped in the Injen, I noticed a bigger improvement in both sound and preformance.

Only problem that I see with this exhaust is that it hangs sort of low. Another problem is that if you hate the OEM style look, this is not the exhaust for you.

Unpack!



Bolted together next to stock cat-back.



World Sport II installed :btu







Fitment: 10/10
Sound: 10/10
Power: 9/10

And here is a video clip of my Launch with the Injen CAI installed.

Is it just me or does it look like the muffler is a bit smaller on the WS2 than on the original WS?

Nice review, by the way. I didn't notice much difference in power but I think it's because of a fuel pump problem I'm having that's not related to a new exhaust put in.

The muffler on mine has never rubbed and my 98 Accord is dropped about 2 inches.

Nice little review. When my WSII came in, I was able to fit the entire box in the back seat of my sedan though
