Default comparing the RS*R Ex-mag and Apexi WS2??

i like the look of these two exhaust but which one is better than the other? i searched and heard they both are quiet and good for the 4th gen preludes but still can't decide. which one of these are better in performanse wise, sound, and when it comes to rust? pics and sound clips of them would be awesome!

Well the Rs-r is out of production.

I have a ws1 and it hangs quite low, and rusted bad after 1 year use. But what can you expect from a non stainless steel product.

i also wanted a RS*R over the WS2, i originally ordered the RS*R only to find out it may be a year until they re-release the ExMag series. so i went and got the WS2, the hangers make the entire exhaust sit too low (i modified the hangers near the resonator so it doesnt scrape), i still wish i could have gotten my hands on an RS*R before they were all gone!

I don't have any sound clips, but I can tell you that the RS*R is louder than the WS. In the end I'm glad I went with the RS*R beacuse of the sound (didn't want something quieter than stock), the look (stainless steel tip is classy and not flashy, and the stealth coated canister definitely does not attract as much attention as a regular all stainless-steel muffler), and the piping size (2.36" = RS*R ExMag).

The WS is no way quieter than stock.
