I have the N1 and looking for something with more clearance on my hatch. So far i've come across the Type One and Skunk2 catback. I've gotten good info on the Type One but what do you guys know about the skunk2 catback?

Travis

 

the skunk 2 is kinda loud but not that bad i like mine

 

I love mine, i put it on w/ my swap so I dontknow about power gain. It looks and sounds beautiful and the welds are very high quality. Its th same as a rsr or individia exhaust (group a). The muffler is a little big, its definatley not sleeper. The noise level is nice and low and it opens up nicley when you hit vtec. It comes w/ a removeable silencer. I dont use it though. I am very very hapy with mine. Skunk2 is a big

 

Do you think it's as loud as the n1?

 

i know that one of the skunk2 exhausts were made by RS*R. check it out on inlinefour.com

 

Yeah it's the one made my rsr. RSR is susposed to be really good quality from what i hear?

 

rsr i like their old exhust they dont make them anymore

 

so here are my picks. If i get the type one i will only get the axle back, this will bolt onto my apex n1 b-pipe cost $350. If i get the skunk2/rs*r it will be a full catback and i found a guy selling one used cost $350. I like the Type One tip better, it looks alot like my n1. If i get the skun2 i'll have a full stainless system, if i get the Type One i'll have a stainless axle back but a coated b-pipe which doesn't really bother me. I'm about to take the exhaust off and give it a THICK coat of engine enamel for protection. I'm kinda stuck on what i should do.

anybody have picture of the skunk2 on a car, like does it come out straght or kinda angled like the n1, a rear shot not to close whould be awesome ,im also intrested in this exhaust but i wanna see what it looks like on a car first

thanks

 

It's not angles and that's one of the things i liked about the n1. I still like the n1 but it's not pratical on the 5gen hatches. The skunk2 looks nice i've seen it, i wouldn't worry too much about that. I think i'm going to get the Type One because not alot of people have them.

 

How is the N1 not practical on 5gen hatches?

 

The axle back piping goes under the rear LCA (rather the rear subframe). This causes the bottom of the cannister to sit pretty low to the ground. If your car is lowerd like mine around 2.5in then you will scrape this exhaust.

 

Maybe this pic will open your eyes.

 

Eyes are open now.

 

my eyes are wide open to the Type One exhaust . . . how much ?

 

I think the TypE ONe would look good on my car, where do you get it?

 

They type one axle back can be had for a smooth $350, the catback will run you another $375. It's not cheap.

 

Here is a pic of the skunk2 catback. Hope the owner doesn't mind.

 

WHERE do you get the type one exhaust?

 

go with skunk 2 you will be happy and it will not hang as low
the skunk 2 is great quality
