Default will i gain performance if i switch from Apex WS to ITR exhaust?

I had the WS exhaust on my car for almost a year now and it's excellent. Just curious if I will gain performance or anything if i switch to an ITR exhaust...

i have a home-made "Icebox" with K&N filter...

Thanks!

Well I can give you an honest opinion since I had a lot of different setups in my car. When you have the itr exhaust, its the stock quality and good performance, yet alone the nice sleeper look that doesn't attract rice or cops. With the Apexi WS wich I now have on my car, the muffler is really shinny and you kind of blind people when they are behind you (my best friend driving behind me at night after install). As for the noise level they are about thesame. The WS gives a nice deep tone that can barely be heard (very quiet wich I like a lot). This exhaust is not ricey at all and doesnt sound like a tin can. As for performance, the WS offers great midrange power and about thesame top end. After installing the WS I didn't loose any power down low wich is common with most aftermarket systems. I am very pleased with my purchase since I got if ro $365 shipped. Haven't been to the track with this setup, but then again, I am changing many other things before I hit the track.
Another thing I noticed about the WS is the exhaust piping is very well made and is a little bigger and less restrictive than the R system. The piping is all mandrel bent and does not have bottle necks like other aftermarket cat backs.
I give it , buy the WS you won't regret it.

now, why would they put a coating over stainless steel? that wouldn't make sense. i would bet that its coated aluminized steel.
