Apexi N1 is it true...
That it drones after awhile of use??? If so how long before it starts to drone?? Does it sound bad??? I'm planning to order the exhaust sometime next week or so.. so any comments on the exhaust would be greatly appreciated.

The Apex'i N1 is a beautiful thing...
For about a week, itll be pretty effn loud. Thats ok. After a month, she will be still loud and deep, but not all the time.
One thing tho, I hope youre not going turbo with her, because the piping is 2.36" ID...

I love my n1, its loud, but its fun. Only had it for about a month, i cant even hear it at 2100 rpms, but if you go higher up... 4k it starts gettin a little loud. Good exhaust... tanabe makes a deeper sound if thats what your going for.

i've had my N1 for at least a year now and i still love it 
i plan on going turbo with mine because i have the bigger sized can and plan on doing a custom 3" catback with it.

Re: Apexi N1 is it true... (tegunderpressure)
about how long did you have it before it started droning? I might just get a 5zigen axle back and do a custom piping or type r b pipe.. still undecided

Re: Apexi N1 is it true... (itr206)
just purchased a gsr and considering a wide variety of exhausts. How loud is "loud" to you guys? Is the n1 that loud? I need something that fits nice and performs. Any advice?

i havent ridden in a car with a n1, but i have ridden in my friends GS with the skunk2 and silencer in for a 3 hour drive, and its ******* loud as ****...not weed whacker loud, i mean like a deep drone or something...if it was my car i'd hate it...and all he had done to it was a short ram intake and the exhaust by the way...

about my friends car with the skunk2 and silencer...when i said loud i meant when riding in the car...inside the car its a loud, low, deep sound and very annoying, although i did get used to it after a while...without the silencer it gives you a headache my friend said, and again, this was inside the car, not my experience with hearing it on the outside....i've heard a bunch of n1's from the outside, i dont think its all that bad/loud in my opinion...i was just trying to give you my experience with a long trip in a car with a similar exhaust type...
