Anyone running N1 "style" exaust?

I was thinking of buying Apexi knock off mufflers on eBay. Does anyone have experience with these? I'm particulary worried about the tone, don't wanna sound like a raspy celica.

The Ebay N1 knock-offs are poorly made and will rust quickly. The only cheap exhaust I have known to work well is the Rotary Performance 50mm.

Otherwise, plan on spending about $600 on a REAL Apexi N1 catback or Racing Beat catback. Good pricing here:

I have the N1 knockoffs. I like them, theyre loud but its a deep tone, no sounding like a civic/vacumecleaner. Ive had them on for almost 2 years and theyre not rusted at all, still as shiny as the day they arrived and the car was parked on the street without moving for almost 1 year. They came with silencers that actually work but i warn you, if you dont screw the silencers in, and your car backfires you will eject them at a great speed. I like the burnt titanium look of them and the fact i can fit my whole fist in the outlet.

you can also get ssautochrome exhaust on ebay, i don't know if it's for the n/a but they have a turbo back exhaust, all stainless steel high quality and very inexpensive.

You can call SSAutochrome and tell them you just want the cat-back and they will sell you that. That's what I did and they shipped it out, and I had it within 3 days. I think the cat-back cost me only $150 or $180.

Go check out corksport.com's N1 knockoff catback system. It is well made and is full stainless. I bought mine over a year ago and it polishes up nicely after each carwash. It is loud though, I used to love the beafy tone I got, but I finally got tired of the noise and bought the silencer for it. Volume is reasonable now. Go check it out, Its like $289 and is probably the best full cat-back for the money.

EDIT: I just took a look at the turbo-back system ssautochrome sells on Ebay and it is the EXACT same system. Hangers and everything are identical. So if ssautochrome will do the cat-back only for $150, I say go for it. You cant go wrong at that price.

I'm using BOMZ GT Style (n1 knockoff) ebay mufflers. Had them for about a year now I think, no rust, no problems, except for the fact they are loud as sh*t with no cat and an RB header, but oh well.
