Default Skunk2 or Apex'i N1

Well I have been looking on various forums talking about the skunk2 and the apex'i N1.. Recently I bought a 2k1 Honda Prelude Base with almost 91 k miles and wanted to put an exhaust system... I narrowed my search down to 2 exhausts. Skunk2 and Apex'i N1. I have seen both of them in videos and love both of them. I am wandering, which one of these has had the most problems ( In your experience or other people's experience ) and/or which one would you recommend?

Thanks for you input in advance

No please lol
(Sort of new to the mod world... if you haven't noticed)

Custom piping and a magnaflow muffler is the route I would go if I could do it again. I installed a magnaflow cat and rs-r exmag cat-back and I dont like it much. It sounds almost exactly like stock. Might have gained a hp or two but nothing remotley noticable.

Apexi GT Spec Exhaust System comes with full stainless steel, mandrel bent, and 2.5 piping. It sounds deep and loud, it kind of sounds like a subaru.

Well this shop said they could do custom piping/bending, mendral bending with the skunk2 exhaust. They recommended I get the Skunk2 Kit. They also said that if I got a 2 1/2" pipe (which i was mostly looking for) I would have to get cold air intake (which i was going to do anyways) and a ecm chip. Would I run into having to upgrade any other parts?

i have a skunk2 cat-back exhaust on my 94 h23. its great, just pretty loud. if you want it a little quieter and some more back pressure you can put the silencer in. ive had it for about 2 years now without any problems.

why would you NEED a intake and a chip to put an exhaust on? that's just pulling your leg trying to get more money from you. don't listen to them. now, is it a good idea to put a intake on? sure. but you don't NEED it. the chip is bull ****. if you want in the future, after you have some mods done, like after intake, header and exhaust, you might want to look into getting a tune done.
