I may be able to get either piecees used from people I know for the same price for my 5th gen and I have 2 questions,

1. Loud, the N1 is pretty loud but from what I understand it is also deep is the WS as deep and just not as loud (not looking to attract authorites since my DL is suspended) as the N1?

2. I know most people regard the N1 as the most power (other then mugen) gaining cat back out there and anything else is going to be either 150 or more above the N1 for similar or better performance, my question is how much less does the WS perform for a N/A or low boost application (Possibly going JRSC) is it a definite differnce or like negligable...

I am not real hardcore about power as I am in a 5th gen SS lude so it's mostly for a little more go and sound, I also have an Apexi VAFC that I will tune with once I get the exhaust and header on, I guess I want to know from a N1 vs. WS, what are the REAL benefits? 1-3 more HP at peak levels for the N1? if so I will probably go with the WS as I need to keep this car quiet and the CAI makes enough noise as it is...

 

if you need to keep it quiet, go with the ws
n1's loud as a ****

 

ok which is why I have the next q' how much power am I losing with the WS as opposed to the N1? noticable?

 

not noticable.

 

I suggest the ws... and youreally shouldnt drive with a suspended liscense

N1 doesn't make sense for what you're looking for. Exhausts don't free up much power anyway on a mostly stock H22, especially with the auto tranny.

 

I wouldn't do it but there is no public transportation to speak of and I work night shift on weekends so my roomate usually isn't around and a man has to work right? plus it is less then a 10 minute ride, leave my driveway hop on the interstate (3 blocks away) get off the interstate park outside my work (about 200 yards away from the offramp) and the reverse to get back home. The beauty of it is the cops that are looking for speeders are on the other side of the road because of my hours!

 

i juss bought the WS a couple days ago and it looks and sounds great. I mean it is really quiet but thats what i wanted out of it since i live in so. cal. Damn cops ! but yeah i noticed a siginificant difference in the mid to high end power. If you want a quiet muffler this is the way to go. Also i love the shine on this muffler!

i had the n1 on my ss and it sounded like crap.. so raspy. I would go with the WS.. but if you go turbo you go custom 3"

 

i think the n1 looks alot better but is louder than the ws. i would get the n1 over a ws anyday, but thats just me.

 

Thanks for the input guys, I know there are a 120397123 threads on exhaust but I just wanted a quick consensus for my application and it looks like WS is going to be it, I just don't need the harassment of the po-po's and VA is hardcore about it, basically according to VA Law anything NOT OEM is illegal, period.
