OK, i have decided to get a new exhuast

after a good amount of research and searching and reading, ive decided to get a new Apexi WS exhuast for my lude and sell my Tanabe Racing Medalion.

not that the TRM is too loud here but my tastes have just changed and i want to be as silent as possible now... not standing out from the crowd kinda way. guess im getting old or somthing

anyways, does anyone know wheres the cheapest place i can find a WS?

also, those who have a WS, give your comments of pros and cons while ur at it

I don't have a WS but I did a lot of research before I got a Mugen (local, used, from a friend =)

The WS, like most Apex'i exhausts, has a problem with hanging low. It's not full stainless, but then against most exhausts aren't either (and how often do you look at the piping anyway?)

That's pretty much it...

I love it! It's soooooooooo quiet and smooth it's meant for the car. It has a nice hum that's most likely a little louder then stock in VTEC and at say like 1500-2000 RPM's. At cruising it's magical how quiet it is. I wasn't into the big tip at first but it fits pretty nice and seemed to have grown on me. The only quirk is the b pipe does sit lower then I'd like. After the winter I may have mine worked on to fit PERFECT but it only scrapes occasionly on bad driveways.

Any exhausts other than the apexi ws or mugen that are quiet or at least not as loud as the tanabe racing medallion?

I like my Apexi WS exhaust. Like you said, it doesn't attract attention. I also can pass by a po-po w/ no problem. They are pretty strict in Glendale and Burbank.

Tanabe makes the Hyper Medalion in stainless steel now. It's pretty much the same as the WS I believe (not straight through). There's an ad in the newest Super Street that shows it.

ive thought of the hyper med. but im in a very tight budget at the moment.... plus i think the WS is quieter than the HM.

so it seems the only good place i can find a deal online is through GBC....

anyways, while on topic of the TRM, does anyone know if my TRM (for an base auto), will fit an SH too? i need someone to be totally sure to tell me here because i dont want to sell it to an SH owner to only find that it wont fit right. thanks!

it wont directly fit, it will fit w/ slight modification. I think its either too short or too long?
