2)custom mandrel bent stainless steel axleback .. with a tanabe super racing medallion ...

Are you getting resonators in the b-pipe?? Regardless if you are or not, they will both be loud. I love loud exhausts . I love how Tanabe Racing Medallion sounds, and the new Super Medallion is quieter but deeper than the previous model. It's stainless steel too so it wont rust over time.

There both gonna be seriously loud. I have the Apexi N1 w/ test pipe, resonator & Dc jdm header WOW loud is not the word....it's sounds sick, but its <<LOUD>>
I think the tanabe will be pretty loud to just a little deeper.

my vote is for the N1, cus i think it sounds better and probley makes a tad more power (after all, isn't that the main idea of an exauhst system anyways?)

Hey this is not a flame torwards you at all, you are new so dont take offense to what im about to say. Alot of information on similar setups have been covered a ton of times so try a search first. The search option is possesed though and seems to work on its own discretion, so if that was the case then so be it. Now for my opinion, i run a full catback apexi n1 system and im very happy with the sound and performance.
