OK story is, ive sold my do-luck exhaust as it its not suitable for big single setup as its twin piping and im over a raw sounding exhaust that is too loud

I have sourced a few single pipe cat back exhausts, one is quite cheaper than the rest but im not sure if its a good choice or not as im after a deep and more quiet note however i do not want a restrictive exhaust either

starting from cheapest and the most likely one i am going to buy:

apexi n1 pro cat back (ex-east) 765 + delivery

also from the same dealer they are selling the apexi n1 evolution for around the same price

========================================

5zigen catback from styled2race (local) $1100

The 5Zigen Proracer Aspec exhaust system is superior to most Japanese stainless steel exhaust system as it is inconel treated internally for exceptional heat tolerance, same as what they used in F1 racing and Aerospace technology. Muffler tip is made of titanium and the burnt finish is a trademark for all Aspec systems.

Diameter sizing for the exhaust system is 80mm and 105mm for the tip, which is a about 3.14inch and is suited for mid-to-high end torque and power. Comes with gaskets and exhaust bolts and nuts for the flanges.

greddy power xtreme GS from hi octane racing (ex east) 1150 + delivery

80mm piping, same as the 5zigen

should i avoid the apexi system and pay abit more?
will the apexi system have no issues flowing 450-500hp if i convert to a gtx35 ?
do apexi exhausts actually sound good?

cheers

ok, well i think nothing beats the sound of the apexi dual N1, but the quality of the apexi single is very high and the boys at access automotive are excellent to deal with.

well i bought the 5zigen system last week but havent taken any decent pics of it till today

i must say though, it is VERY quiet even with a decat which was what i was after but i didnt think it would be this quiet lol

and excuse the 4wd spec, rear end is still running standard shocks coz im too lazy to change them!

also, the ground clearance on the center muffler is kinda iffy.. im scared to dump it now lol
