Not only do I think it looks better, I think it sounds a lot better.

The skunk sounds like it might be far too deep that the droning will kill ya. I've heard the droning of the apexi isn't so bad though.

And it just looks so hot!

N1 if your not planning on doing any serious tunning IE forced induction. 60mm piping is enough for regular bolt on mods.

N1 has pretty much zero drone on the freeway at cruising speed, 6th gear 65-70 MPH. Skunk2 has a lot of drone.

N1 looks awesome, slight angle and huge chrome muffler look awesome. Skunk2 just kinda sits there.

N1 has a great sound to it. Once warmed up it has a deep throaty sound to it. I have an Injen CAI and when coupled together it sounds mean. You get a nice pop/backfire when you rev it up and the RPM's idle down. Skunk2 is loud as expletive but the sound is sex. I like to hear loud but i dont like to drive around with a loud exhaust. Skunk2 sounds amazing when cruising and then downshifting in 4th you can really hear the vtech crossover just scream.

Best thing to do is try to find someone that has both and hear them for yourself. Your in NY so theres tons of us that have either exhaust but the choise is really up to you. My personally i like the N1 over the skunk2 for the sound/pitch and the style. Skunk2 was just a little too loud for me for DD because i drive a lot. The N1 fits me well because its loud enough to know that you have an exhaust but its not overbearing or droney.

Well here is your personal experience. I have the N1 and I absolutely love it. I definitely noticed a difference in acceleration and the sounds only seems to get better. I can't to go out to the Road Atlanta in August and see how she performs this time with the N1 on it and better brakes. But that is my two cents for the N1

That was my friend Eric also with a nhbp SI these are the only 2 that i am interested in i heard the Apexi in person but only a few revs i would love to hear it at Vtec. The skunk2 i heard with a aem sri,hondata reflash so it was muted compared to what it would sound like i think i will end up with the Apexi after considering everyone's thoughts i cant go wrong with either 1
