magnaflow has a stright through design like the spoon n1 and the Apex is like a giant stock exhaust.

I use the Maganflow and it only got loud when I added the DC 4:1 Header. Both pretty much produce similar hp, although I found the Magnaflow lesser in price and actually lighter in weight...

I got magnaflow cat-back and I liked it alot. It' not loud. It's life-time warranty. I don't think JDM exhaust systems are life-time warranty.

I don't think Magnaflow offers a 2.5" cat back for our cars.

I put the Apexi WS on my 93 Si and it was nice and quiet until it gets to about 4500 rpm. Sitting next to a cop at a stop light and starting off real easy doesn't attract any attention. I never got pulled over for anything. I think the short ram intake made more noise than the catback.

magnaflow recomends 2 1/4 to 2 1/2" for V6 s and 2 to 2 1/4" for 4 s..its also quiet possible to have a much louder exhaust if ur piping is larger than ur motor really needs
