half the people on this board got the N1, i personally wanted to get the N1, but im just gonna wait til i really need an exhaust. i really can't stand the buzzing sound
i've heard both and their really loud.

N1 will give u the most hp usually for N/A
looks good too up and angled

I had the N1 on my EK...sounds good..a bit too loud tho with a straight pipe..the only problem was the look. Too big imo. If u like the smaller look, less overt; then id suggest the fireball, although it sounds like a fart can with the cat taken out.

http://www.geocities.com/onethirty7/pipe

if the directory doesnt show up then go ahead and cut and paste that into a window...

I prefer it over both exhausts... and its an RSR... same n1 style

I tried renaming all of the files to get more interest in viewing them in your desicion for the rsr over both exhausts...

the zigen fireball strait up sucks ***... and if you have a low car is a bitch of a driveway eater.

The apexn1 isnt the greatest exhaust design in the world when it comes to flow... and sound. And I hear it has multiple clearance issues of its own.

The rsr, hasnt knocked or pinged against ****, the only time I had a problem with it is when I was in an accident and the bitch who hit my car bent the godamn exhaust... seen here. http://www.geocities.com/onethirty7/fuckme

there are more pics of this exhaust on http://www.geocities.com/saleengsr or at least there should be.

I like the sound of the 5 Zigen Fireball, but the Apex'i N1 out performs it.

I've got the 5Zigen Fireball "Rear" Catback, not full. I've PROBABLY was one of the first to have it here in Houston, Tx. Had it for almost 3 years, and its aight! Good sound, not to loud/not to quiet.. just right.

But,

Apex-i N1 is a good exhaust system.. I've heard good remards. LOUD, but i think you can get the silencer! Good hp for the kick...

Overall the Apex-i N1 is my best bet, but havent found the RIGHT price!

BTW, how much did everybody got there N-1??? w, w/o shipping??

I have an N1 and its great... it sounds perfect when u have the silencer in when u are crusing and when u punch it, it gets really... but without... its pretty too damn loud!! i dont know about the fireball, but my friend has them on his TL (axel-back) and its really quiet, can't really tell the difference until u hit it... but then the intake takes over...
