Well I just got my exhaust in. Its an Apexi Universal turbo muffler. I was wondering if I do the whole 3" exhaust now instead of later would that be a good thing or a bad thing to do. Iam going turbo, Im just buying all of my parts now. The turbo setup wont be on until maybe july. My current muffler has a small leak, in an uncomfortble place. It cannot be fixed. Should I just throw the Apexi on with the whole 3" pipe? Let me know what you think. Thanks!

 

If you plan to upgrade the exhaust anyway, the most economical choice would be to have the 3" piping done now, rather than paying for labour twice.

 

Exactly what i was thinking. Would it be annoying loud? Or would it sound nice?

 

alot of my buddies had the Apexi N1 and damn they are loud...its nice but loud..sound sick hittin vtec in a tunnel tho

Yes, it will be quite loud, though it will quite down a bit once the turbo is installed.

 

Yeah so I thought. Thanks for the info.


One more question. Should I keep the resonator on or have them chuck it?

 

I would definitely include a resonator in the system. It will cut down on both the volume and the harshness of the exhaust tone.

 

Should i get a 3" resonator? Who makes one?

 

i agree, just go ahead and install the 3" now. it will be loud for awhile, but it will be money once the turbo goes on. however it wont be supplying much back pressure, and you'll notice a loss of power until you boost.

Yes, you should maintain the same diameter throughout the system. Magnaflow offers several different options.

 

Does anyone here know of another exhaust quieter than the Apexi N1?

 

How about the WS2 turbo muffler?
