vibrant, they're quiet when you're just driving around but then with WOT they come alive.

i'd go with vibrant with a full cat back. which shouldn't be that loud compared to the N1 which is ridiculous loud. i'v got a d16z6 with some ebay headers, stock cat and then straight pipe all the way to the vibrant muffler. it hasn't gotten me a ticket yet (knock on wood). i had an N1 style muffler previously and it got me a ticket before i even put it in gear.

Vibrants are good while the packing inside is still new... After a month or two, the packing gets burned out and its just about as loud as an N1.

I have had both... and am still running a Vibrant on my turbo'd DD

i would say get a apex ws, i really dont like exhaust that make the "ricer" noise i cant tell the diffrence between a exhaust system and a muffler tip (when it comes to sound)
but it is your car and you can and will do what you want to it I just wanna let you know there are better exhaust systems that those 2 brands.

thanks for the replies i know both r good muffler from wht i hear i know im gonna get one of them but i think i might run a vibrant i just wanted something tht looks sort of stock but also something tht is not really common on a delslo even though most delsols tht i see running around here have ugly *** bodykits on them and fart cans from autozone lol

And hopefully either muffler will sound quiet cause im running a ebay 4-1 header, test pipe, and the skunk 2 piping with a knock twin loop. The twin loop is quiet it is just it kinda sticks out to a lil far and it is tucked in as close as it can be to my skunk2 lca's
