Default can't decide on exhaust for my b18c5 swap

hey
i've done a search and i cant find any info on different exhausts on b18c5s in EKs. my swap (98 spec jdm type r motor) is goin down mid march and i need to pick an exhaust. i'm thinking of going with the Apex GT Spec exhaust since its 2.5" are there any other exhausts i should consider using? thanks

go to a mufflar shop and tell them you want a 2.5" exhaust from the cat back... it'll cost you like 130 if you bring your own muffler.

piece together a mandrel bent stainless system with a high flow cat a large resonator and a magnaflow exhaust... will probably end up being less if you do some of your own work... and just as good if not better perfomance for less $

If you don't already have one do this... Get a '98+ JDM ITR header, run a piece of 2.5" pipe ~4ft. long straight back and leave it, hehe (I'm actually serious tho, I really dislike exhausts)... Since I really haven't been that much of a help really just look for one thing, as you and everyone already stated just make sure it's atleast 2.5"... Mandrel is nice too if you don't mind spending a little extra money... Just my $0.02, Good Luck

Any n1 should do just fine. Spoon, Apex, Buddy Club (if your nuts) etc etc...

If your planning on going with Buddy Club, you better get earplugs and the police department in your area better be cool as hell. Here's a little quote from


Smitdog: BC SpecIII makes spoon n1 sound like apexi WS. no Lie.

If you haven't heard a spoon n1, it's pretty damn loud and the world sport is pretty damn quiet. Once again you can't go wrong with an N1, preferably spoon or apex.
