Review of Apex'i WS exhaust
I just installed my new apex'i exhaust today which replaced my beloved RS*R. Installation went well with no problems, everything fit fine. it came in 3 pieces, though, which I thought was kinda ghetto, but I guess that's for shipping purposes.
It's definitely not as well made as my RS*R, the welds seem a little sloppy and there are no braces on the resonator. It also hangs a bit lower than the RS*R, but my car isn't dropped a lot so that's not an issue.
It is very quiet, however, quieter than my RS*R, which is exactly what I was looking for. At certain rpms, my CAI is louder. Cruising at highway speeds, it's only a tad louder than stock.
As far as performance goes, I don't notice much difference over the RS*R, although i'm sure it's not as efficient, being the muffler is not straight through.
All in all, I like it and would recommend it for anyone looking for a fairly inexpensive, quiet, off the shelf exhaust.

Re: Review of Apex'i WS exhaust (weekendracer)
the reason its quieter is the muffler is not straight through, which would kill top end im not a fan of the ws or the old RS, so its all you, personally my exhaust is loud, some say too loud, just ask dun reit and 4doorh22, but it makes the power, which is what counts

Re: Review of Apex'i WS exhaust (JDMintegGSR)
does anyone know how to do the piping.. for a catback.. i want to do my own mandrel bent cat.. most know i have the h22 and i am going to turbo.. so i thinking i need anywhere from 2.75 - 3'' pipes.. thought of the dunk or WS but i found the Apexi N-1 muffler pretty cheap but i have to fabricate my own piping back.. how would i know which bends to buy.. is it just basically taking off my stock and hoping to order the right stuff and match it up? thanks
