Default Should I upgrade my Apexi N1 full catback?

I took off my apexi N1, wanting to sell and get something better.

I was hoping for something lighter and more performance.

Apexi has a GT spec exhaust out now for the ITR. but dont have any info on it.

what do you guys suggest?

Why not go with a custom 2.5" mandrel bent catback... Sure it might not be as light, but it is cheaper and well worth it if you ever decide to upgrade to more aggressive cams.

custom 2.5 ss mandrel bent catback is the way to go, you'd need more than mild bolt-ons to see some difference.

actually it should be lighter than the APEXi N1. The canister, the piping... its all heavy. Even a custom aluminized steel exhaust would weigh less. I know Magnaflows weigh very little... the only aftermarket upgrade i would get is mugen just cuz its so much quieter... or a full titanium one for lightweight.

"To Each His Own"! I love my Apexi-N1. I can feel the gains, and I love the sound, and the fitment along with the angled race look is great! "To Each His Own"!
