Default Apex N1 vs HKS Hi Power

I'm looking at these two systems for my DC2....
Questions:
1. What is the ground clearance like with these two systems? My car is lowered on blades... I don't want to hit a bump and loose a muffler....
2. Which is quieter??
3. I was told the GSR N1 has a slightly different angle compared to the LS and Type R system..

Any good pics of both of these systems???? I searched but could find a decent pic....

A friend of mine has the hks and it sounds really nice not too loud. The hks and the apexi both angle. If your slammed, you might have problems with the bottom of the canister scraping.

The hks does due to a smaller canister. The apexi's can is pretty big.

It sounds like the HKS is the way to go...

Nice choice. I personally went with a greddy sp2 but my other choice was the hks.

I like the JDM angled look... Not the noise though... Or the ground clearance issues...
Only other exhausts I'd consider = WS2 and Tanabe Hyper

I absolutely love it! Its mellow and deep during normal driving and when you get on it it really opens up and sounds good. Even with my high flow cat it never gets obnoxiously loud.
