i have a 96 ex coupe currently looking for a new exhuast, i dont really care how loud it is or how much attention it draws . all i care about is its performance and its quality i have picked 3 that im kinda leaning toward feel free to add your own suggestion , and please post pics of your car if you have any of these systems

1st is the apexi gt


2nd is the apexi n1
3rd is the hks hyper (hi power)
thanks for you help in advance

 

Might want to do a search or just take a look at one of the other threads currently on the main page about the same thing.

 

It really depends on your final setup. If you are going all motor then the apex n-1 would be fine. (I like the World Sport Series personally) In my case, im going turbo so i got a hold of a cat-back Thermal exhaust (that looks like one of the three you are contemplating about) for free. just had to trade my stocked polished for it.

Thank you sir. I could not have said it any better.

 

custom

 

always have loved the HYPER

 

HKS hiper is way better quality but not too sure about piping size for you application. HKS= all motor, Apexi N1=n/a or Turbo I would say!!

 

Dunk &gt; all

 

how loud is the hks hyper on a eg

....because????? Don't just say 'this one'. Try to include the reason for your choice, unless you're just pulling something out of your ***, not saying you are, but a little insight would help.

I agree with TURspoon on this one, the 3" diameter of the GT would net you more power with FI set-ups. Piping also looks to be nice and straight with very minimal bends.

 

I love my n1, I'm planning on keeping it with my swap and build-up.

 

always been a fan of the n1 but the gt would be the best choice for f/i

 

The APEX'i GT-SPEC would be a great choice for a turbo application. It is similar to the N1, but it sounds a lot more throatier and deeper than the N1, which sounds very very high-pitched and loud. And it has a 3'' piping available. It would obviously give a nice performance gain.

The HKS Hiper Exhaust is a great choice as well (for all-motor apps). It's got a nice low sound, and gives good performance and sounds great. Check hksusa.com for videos (it sounds craaazy on the IS300 and sounds relly nice on the s2000). It would probably sound nice on a D motor too.

If you are going to go all-motor (maybe with a swap later on), then i suggest you check out other choices.
Like the Tanabe ULTRA medallion exhaust. It's titanium, 2.25'' piping for civics, and sounds greeeeat. high-pitched and loud. It's kinda expensive but you might want to look into it.

Anyways, good luck on your search.

 

HKS Hyper sounds and looks nice.

 

how are the bends on the APEX'i GT-spec exhaust for 92-95 civic ::::: does is follow the common bends and goes above the right trailing arm :::: personally im about to look into getting the RS-R* exhaust since it has only one bend in it :::: yet the price is a lil outta touch ::::

 

if you don't care about how loud or looks .. then go with just a straight pipe and skip the muffler... if you've enver had a loud exaust before ... it get's annoying esipcally when it's a 4 cylinder

not really because he is intrested in different exhuast systems , he picked stock looking ones that sacrifice a little performance for better sound. i on the other hand dont care about the sound as i posted above when i started this thread thanks for your help though

 

since im going all motor im really swaying toward the hks hyper. the apexi gt has 3 inch piping so def a no no for an all motor set-up ,unless it does have the 2.25 option but im not sure. the n1 is also a good one to go with but then again if the hyper has well performance gains and sounds better then the n-1 why not choose that one...well thanks for all of you who helped out. and for the few out there that arint happy untill they tell some one to search or look at the next thread on the next page well save it because no one wants to hear it , if YOU guys payed any attention you would see that me and the guy with the other page are intrested in 2 different types of exhuast....

 

it's all up to you man. it's your car
