Default APEX'i N1 Cat Back Exhaust Sound Clip / Video

I took a short video of my exhaust to give you guys an idea of what the APEX'i N1 cat back sounds like with the following under the hood:

LS/VTEC
11.3:1 Compression
Skunk2 Stage II Racing VTEC Camshafts
DC Sports Integra Type R JDM 4-1 Header (2.5" Collector)
J's Racing EG Carbon Fiber Intake
A'PEXi N1 Cat-Back Exhaust
2.5" Custom Test Pipe / Flex Pipe

There is a ***** load of white smoke coming out of the exhaust, you have a broken headgasket (not really). I have the WS on mine and was looking into changing it out for the larger diameter N1 turbo catback. I just can't stand the sound of the N1 during constant revs. Does it bother you during highway driving?

It's condensation, I swear. . No, it gets quite quiet at constant speeds. It is quite loud though under any kind of acceleration what so ever.

Nice. I once had an A'PEXi N1 but got rid of it because I was tired of the way it looked. I loved the sound, though. Now I run a Spoon N1 axle-back. Sounds almost identical to the A'PEXi in terms of volume and tone. I just like the smaller tip better. The A'PEXi is a good exhaust, though.

Im about to install my apexi n1 with 2.25. I just havent decided to go with or without a resonator. My local shop told me 75-80 for a resonator is that about right?

I think the little mic's on the cameras pick up a lot more treble than bass. My n1 has a smooth deep tone, and does not sound at all like those.

This is definitely true! I have a soundclip of my Spoon N1 I made over the weekend, and it sounds nothing like it does in real life. Granted, in reality it still sounds farty, but it is a very deep fart. In the video I took, it sounds really raspy and high-pitched. Unless you use a bunch of professional **** (quality microphones, an equalizer, etc.) instead of a video camera or your digi cam in video mode, the true sound won't get picked up.

You can, but it'll be a major bottleneck because the inlet/outlet won't match up to the 2.25" piping. You're better off getting a resonator that uses at least 2.25" inlet/outlet diameters.

It depends on the brand and where you're buying from, but $80 sounds reasonable for a resonator. If it's a big one, the N1 will be much quieter and sound a little deeper. If it's small--like the one that A'PEXi uses--then you won't notice much of a difference. In terms of power, probably won't notice it at all.
