Looks legit, just probably not the highest quality.


And it'll be loud as ***** more than likely...looks like a replica of the Apex'i N1

My current set-up cost about the same as that (~$130), but I didn't pay shipping on mine.


Unless you want a name brand exhaust system, anything will do...but the cheaper ones tend to be louder...in which if it's too loud, then you can just get a different muffler (I'm changing my fart can out for a '07 Si muffler, but I'm getting a high-flow cat first).

I actually use this same one... the good ol "ebay exhaust"

the flow is great and has a little "fart sound" from that gigantic *** muffler

the only thing i would say to you as advice is watch the S bend pipe since mine wasn't completely hanging up in the heat shield and causing some painful noises during the occasional bottom out.

my recommendation would be to have it professionally installed (it's easy to bolt up but welding is another part to worry about.)

if you're short on money then go for it.. just make sure to have it fit under there properly or you'll run into some major problems

I have one of those exhausts. You'll probably end up getting a different muffler like me. I had that huge can like that one, got pulled over, got a twin 3" tip "stealth" Vibrant muffler. Sound a million times better and personally looks cooler. Other than the loudness inside and outside the vehicle it's a nice exhaust for a stock set up.

Does anybody have any soundclips? I really want an APEXi N1, but if this will do the trick (nice deep sound) I might just buy this!
