Default EK9 Axle-back? Worth it?

Does the Ek9 axle-back give any additional performance over a stock axle-back? Has there been any dyno testing between a EK9 exhaust versus aftermarket?

Reason i'm asking there's a local guy with a EK9 OEM exhaust for $250 but if it's not worth it and I can pick up a nice, quiet Apexi WS2 for $400, possibly less, should I just get the WS2?

lol, you won't even get 1hp out of an axle back that would cost a million dollars.

If it's between the 2 you listed, go with the WS2.

Yeah it's between the two, I love the WS2 catback sound.. it's smooth and quiet! I had a original World Sport on my 2000 Prelude.. it sounded great.
