i don't have a apexi... i do have a Fujitsubo Power Getter Exhaust kinda looks like a N1 but has a slight angel to it... the sound of it is sweet nice rumble looks killer and the price i got mine was 260 used but hey it beats sending 700 on it and waiting 2 months for it... i think the best thing to do is look on here in the classifieds and on the other forums... GL
there are deals everywhere just gotta look for em!

most important rule when buying parts for your car:

you get what you paid for.

get the hks exhuast. It's jdm, mine was sent to my house direct from japan. lol. Also had instructions in japanese. Ordered thru carcandymotorsports for $370. It has that "angle", I like it, it's not to loud, only when you gas it. Very good exhuast.

The Tanabe Concept G is really nice. Its an N1 style but with an angled tip. Very clean looking.

You get what you pay for! Buy a cheap muffler, have it blow out in a few months, and then pay to replace it with the part that you should have gotten in the beginning. Like Batwing said, go with the Tanabe Concept G and you wont have any regrets.

I've had the APEXi N1 Axelback for the past 3 years, untill the APEXi garage sale earlier this year where I bought my World Sport from APEXi. I love their products, the only reason why I changed from the N1 to the World Sport was because I wanted to change the style of my exhaust. I Bought both from their garage sales, for about $200. Well worth it. Plus, I'd rather have a quality part that no one else has. Why buy parts that everyone else has when you want to "personalize" your car? Apex makes quality products, IMHO. I stand by their products.

I have a JIC axleback right now. Love it. SOunds low and quiet under normal driving, but get's a little loud when on it hard. Not ric ey, just loud. BUT, it is only an axleback, so I have the Power Enterprise catback on it's way. Can't wait to get it. WIll be cleaning up the JIC and selling it soon.
