Default What should I know and expect after installing apexi WS2 exhaust system?

I heard it sounds good and deep tone and not loud like other exhaust, I also heard it rattles and makes a strange sound when rev high? rattles against the gas tank, mid section(resonator?) too low, I really want to get this exhaust, but are these problems still exist? or is it just for the WS1 and not the WS2? what should I expect and if those problems happens to me in the near future, what I should do to solve? thank you H-T.

i havnt had a problem with any of that. the only "rattle" i get is if i hold it at 3k while warming it up. it is a slick system i would definately reccomend it.

My friend's Apexi WS2 on his EG hatch sounds beautiful, I'd get it if I had extra money and wasn't turbo'd..

is it a requirement for other exhaust systems as well? or is it just for Apexi WS2? if so, all I need to do is take it off inside the piping before install it on the car right? thx

if its rattling to an obnoxious extent, you can take off or bend or cut your heat shields...

all gravy, nice system

This is how my WS2 sounds on my EM1. I've had no problems with the exhaust.
