hmm they say n1, so it may be an Apex'i copy.
not saying any brand is better than another, but brands usually copy each other, especially generic ones like ScionFX.

btw, i think you can get it cheaper on ebay, on that site wen i bought my intake it was $95, but on ebay after shipping i payed $80, so i would check ebay, i think scionfx is the name of the seller, either that or scionsport, they are the same company

They do have some pretty screamin' deals on that website. My next purchase will be the engine cover and LED tails. :ponder:

Well, I ended up buying the ehxaust anyway - $159 shipped. I saw no reviews for it on their website, but it peaked my interest enough to take a chance and buy it. I should be getting it in a few days, I'll post pics and thoughts once I get it installed.

I bought the intake from them on ebay, and my only real problem was that the piping had some bumps from poor amndrel beding practices, and the rubber at the base of the filter has started dry rotting a bit. All in all a good deal even after buying a new filter.

Update on the exhaust.

It arrived today and I installed it fairly quickly. Only took me about 45 minutes total.

Pros:
-Appears to be well-built, welds and hangers are all solid
-Silencer is removable with an allen wrench, very easy
-Fills out the stock exhaust area nicely
-Fit of this exhaust is great. Required no modification to be perfect.
-Nice, deep low sound at idle, sounds awesome through 2-4K RPM
-GIGANTIC, nice-looking T304 muffler
-Very competitive price ($160 shipped)

Cons:
-Muffler is so big that it rubs a piece of the body underneath going around tight right corners, causing the entire car to vibrate loudly and scare the hell out of the driver and occupants.
-Ridiculously loud without the silencer

Yes, pics please. I am interested in the exhaust system as well. I already have their CAI and was very impressed with fit/finish/quality.

you need to get a differnt rubber hanger , i got the greddy 4.5" tip , thats what a huge tip is , had to add a new rubber hanger then a band clamp just to keep it centered so it doesnt bounce when driving , get rubber hangers at autozone get band clamps at homedepot plumbing dept use 2-3 and strap around existing metal bracket

Update on the rubbing issue.

turns out that the rear hanger for the exhaust was rubbing on the right tow hook. I just cut about 1/2" off of the hanger with an air cutter and it appears to be fine, now. I'll update you guys if the problem persists.
