the new greddy ti-c's sound pretty nice,i thought they were going to sound ricey but if you put the silencer on it gives it a much more nicer tone

My question is how does everyone know its too loud if no one is sporting this thing. We don't know what it sounds like on a new SI. All I know is it is a good exhaust system and it comes with a silencer if it is too loud.

Type X do you know what any of the titles of those videos were so i can perform a search?

i searched on youtube earlier in the day, i couldn't find an 06+ si w/ it; but the Apex'i N1 sounds similiar to most of the other N1 style exhausts out there.

I have the N1 on my 07 SI and it sounds great..It sounds better than the DC Sport or any other, if your looking for something just alittle more quieter go with the Greddy EVO 2. The N1 is just alittle more louder than the Evo 2.

Thats exactly what I was looking for. So you like it? Notice any power differences? How much of a difference does the silencer make?

Did you ever run a silencer on it? How did it affect it?

Have you found anywhere that sells cat-back exhaust for the sedan?? I've only found axle-backs... I would love something like the WS even in just an axle back

Most companies have universal mufflers. Pick up one of those and bring it to an exhaust shop and have them bend some 60 or 70 mm piping for you. It will probably be cheaper as well

I understand, but I'm not really interested in crush bent tubing.. Mugen "accessories" should be in dealerships shortly, so I'll probably pick up that axle-back. Just have to be patient I guess

I never tried the silencer.. I've read the silencer makes it sound very raspy and bee hive-like at higher RPMs. I can't tell you if thats true or not from experience but it was enough to keep me from bothering with it. I also had a gutted cat which probably contributed to the loudness a little.

Thats Jay3151 from 8thcivic. I met up with him the other day. It sounds real good and I'd compare it closer to the Skunk2 rather than the Evo2 IMO

Is that an axle back, catback or just the muffler on custom pipe ?

The info is great.
