Default Apexi WS2 Exhaust.. Need opinion..

I have a 94 accord EX with H&R sport springs with tokico illuminas.. JUST INSTALLED.. I NEED AN EXHAUST BY THIS WEEK.

Im looking to get the apexi WS2.. Does anyone have it? Do you have problems with it scrapping the ground?

I was also looking on getting the tanabe MEDALION TOURING... which looks smaller...

Can anyone get back to me ASAP.. im looking to order this ASAP... I just dont want to have my exhaust scrapping..

Get the WS2. I have one and I love the nice deep growl that it lets out. Really quiet at idle, then at WOT it lets out the deep growl. Really nice OEM style look with a slightly larger tip. Not a coffee can by any means. If the Tanabe is the one I am thinking of, I hate the way it looks. Looks like a muffer that you see on all those crappy civics that sound like bees.

However the WS2 does hang low. I think I did a review on this forum somewhere. Search my username to find it.

I've never scraped my WS2 on my 6th gen. I've owned the exhaust for a year and my car is dropped just about 2 inches.

keep posted with pics when you get it installed; I'm planning on buying the same one since my stock exhaust is about to fall off



I kicked it when I found out how rusted to **** it was, and I did that.

I second that... Nice deep tone. Not ricey by any means. If you looking for a rice sound, look else where.

if you can get an h22 into a car for $900, sign me the expletive up.

if you want to spend money on exhaust, KNOW what you are buying. wait for a good deal. my factory piping was similar to kniob's....and it had been replaced in like 1999. i wanted an RS*R exmag, and waited till i found one for a good deal...got it shipped to my door brand new for ~$400. Hell, you pay more than that getting an OEM replacement through a dealer or a mechanic.

my objection to the WS is that it hangs low, and its not stainless steel.

kniob, i know you you feel. i didnt realize how bad my factory exhaust was untill i ripped it off...and i mean that literally...when my buddies and i did mine at 1am on a school night my senior year in HS, we were SOO sick and tired of dealing with getting the old **** to come off, that we literally riped the hangers off of the midpipe. stupid rusted out piece of **** crush bent mild steel piping

the mufler itself is stainless, while the piping itself is not.

why dont you get a custom exhaust? muffler of your choice, cat or resonator of your choice, and then piping at a muffler shop of your choice. the price comes out to be less than any of those catbacks. unless you get some egay ****
