If anyone on this site still has a SI Here are some pics of cat-backs on
my SI, so you will have a idea what they would
look like on your cars before you buy Enjoy,If I can help feel free to PM me
Apexi N1
Ok Quality, Worst fit. Looked Bad ass
Sounded the Best of them all!.BUT NOT FOR
EVERYDAY!!! fucking loud
GReddy EVO2
Well I had it B4 the reg.evo and sold
it. But I got the Evo2 its all SS real good fit
And IMO great sound This is
what we buy exhausts for right(sound).You
will not gain any HP with a exhaust on a SI
I'm sorry maybe 3-4hp Its not loud,
Not stock sounding, and looks good
But the Tip is HUGE
GReddy SP
Nice Quality Worse fit then Tanabe,but Better then
Apexi (not hard to do) Looks nice oval Muff.Sound
nice allmost stock but has a little bling
Mugen Twinloop
JDM
I don't care if my exhaust is JDM
Hell I only had the one with the USDM tip
GREAT Fit But how can you fuck up a rear sec?
Real nice Quality sound well it sure is not worth
$600.00 But it is real nice unlike other exhaust
DC Sports
Great Fit Great Quality all SS but
The flanges are still cast steel why I don't know?
Sound SUPER SUPER deep
Not loud but way deeper then a Apexi N1
Tip sticks out too far IMO but I guess thats for the
Logo
RS*R
Tanabe Racing medallion
Great fit and and Quality.Looked like
a thermos But sounded the WORST
200,000 Bees
Tanabe G-Power
No longer available Had the Best Fit and Quality
of any exhaust I had.It sound real nice low not loud
But the Tip was a little long for my taste.Sorry no
pics from my car

VTECZILLA, What do you think about the Greddy EVO2 exhaust as far as fit and finish are concerned? Did the exhaust rust at all? How was the durablililty on it? What about the sound? Do you by any chance have any sound clips of it at all? If you can PM me with more pictures if you have them because im considering that one or maybe the N1. But I heard that the EVO2 is less noisy than the N1. Have you ever gotten pulled over with you exhaust at all?

I think taht I'm going to be more inclined to buy the Greddy EVO because i've heard that its quieter than the N1 and i think it looks better. due to it sitting low under your car, have you ever managed to scrape it at all?

My Greddy rusted all to hell and fit like ass. The Apex'i has better coating on their piping, and I liked the way it looked on my car. If you're n/a though, it is way too big of piping... I noticed my cars performance get BETTER when I took off the N1 and put on the Mugen.

So, if i am n/a which I am, would you suggest that I go for the EVO2? I mean if you say that you lost some power by putting on the bigger diameter piping, then for me, the Apex-i N1 wouldn't be the right type of exhaust for me.

The Evo 2 is a pretty good exhaust... Most people will only hate on it because it's not JDM.
I had the Evo, it fit fine, and did'nt give me any real rust problems. There was a bit of rust around the flanges, but nothing to loose sleep over... Plus, the Evo is not stainles steel, and the Evo 2 is... So I imagine that problem is not really present on the Evo 2.
It sounds good, looks sleek, and it fits and functions well on any NA/basic bolt on Si...

My car had a better mid-range when i put on my RSR. I can post pics if people wanna see. RS*R is a badass system. I wouldnt go to anything else. Piping is clean as hell, powdercoated a dark grey color.

Quote: Didn't see this one on the list HKS Hiper Don't really have much to compare it to, I had a mugen twinloop before it, and the sound was very very similiar:
You are saying the HKS Hyper sounds very Similiar to the Mugen NO WAY!!!!!! The Hyper is WAYYYYYYYYYYYYY Louder.My Buddy had a Hyper and it's just like all the canister exhausts loud

Hello, I'm new to the forums. Nice pics and your paint job is immaculate. But straight to the question at hand--- Are there any out there that don't sound stock but are not very louid either? A very subtle purring noise I guess is the way I would have to describe it. I've heard one before while I was driving on the freeway. Just thought I would ask.
I really REALLY want an RS-R Ex mag for my SI but I hear everyone say the rust REALLY QUICKLY since they are not SS. The other one I'm looking at is the Greddy SP2. Do you have any pics of that one? I saw you mentioned it in a post but I didn't see the pics.
I've got a few questions about exhaust:
How much longer does stainless steel usually last than regular steel (I believe it's called mild steel)? Are the Apexi WS2 known to rust quickly too?
What is the difference between the Greddy SP and SP2? (If any)
Also, I've seen rust proof paint at parts stores, would painting the piping with anti-rust paint help extend the life of the exhaust?(like how the RS-R's are coated) Anyone ever try this?
But sounded the WORST
