Apexi N1 NA Universal Exhaust Muffler

Now i have 2.5" custom catback right now with an ebay muffler... Im looking for a muffler that will yeild the most gains and sound great...deep..not ricey..Let me know what you guys think

a muffler is a muffler... mainly its how u want it to look and sound. if you have 2.5 piping and its straight through, its going to have very close gains to any other bolt-on exhaust. For N/A cars you don't even really get any gains from a exhaust.

Dude i jus wanna replace my current muffler

The Apex N1 Looks nicer in my opinion

jsmooney · 01-22-2005, 06:27 PM

id say it depends if you plan on getting a kit or not in the future

SteveO000000001 · 01-22-2005, 06:36 PM

Probably not..and if i did itd be the WWRS lip kit..

jsmooney · 01-22-2005, 07:25 PM

doesnt look that bad. i have a ebay n1 and 2.5" piping with NO resonators, its loud as hell, but i get compliments all the time

SteveO000000001 · 01-22-2005, 07:28 PM

Cool...

But see i dont like the sound.

I want something deeper..thats why i asked which one....n1 or magnaflow? Or is there another deep muffler out there..

... why can't you? If it's funds, that's certainly understandable, otherwise I don't see what's stopping you.

n1 isnt exactly "deep" its the piping that makes it deep. get a magnaflow and put a resonator on there for deep and quiet with your 2.5" piping

Mattsy93vtec · 01-22-2005, 10:25 PM

Sorry but a 2.5" exhaust is going to be loud. The deepest exhaust I've ever heard was mine, with the greddy SP a close second.

Those DTM tips are just nasty, I don't understand why people would put that on their cars.

The "muffler" you have on there is probably the nicest of all those.

The deepest of those, will probably be either of the magnaflows, but I would suggest getting a resonator to bring it into the lower frequency range (albeit with a little less amplitude also

).

Maybe, just try adding a resonator to your current setup and see if you like the sound it offers then? That would make it deeper a bit.

SteveO000000001 · 01-22-2005, 11:19 PM

Yeah after looking at those DTM ones i dunno what i was thinking..haha

Im now looking at this magnaflow

Heres the other ones..which ones do you guys like the best? Post the model number

Also be sure to check out the other sizes...4" 5" 6" 7" Race Series

Hey I have that exhaust. It is deep but I'm not running a resonator so It's pretty loud but deep. I'm running a 2.25" piping. I suggest you get a resonator if you want it to be deep. I like the sound overall.

Kinda far but that's how it looks

SteveO000000001 · 01-23-2005, 07:59 AM

My custom piping already has a resonator. Do you think ill need another one? Do you have that exact muffler? Can you post some more pics

92-h23a1 · 01-23-2005, 08:26 AM

I would but theres about 2 foot of snow on my car.. haha

Whoa, when did they put that bumper trim on the side of the prelude?

SteveO000000001 · 01-23-2005, 08:39 AM

Alot of people ask me that. I called the previous owner who is actually the owner of the Jones Honda/Acura Dealership here in PA and she claims it was a trim package from honda... spoiler...n side trim. If thats true or not who knows...i know its the only prelude ive ever seen it on!
