Apex N1 exhaust... left or right?

does the N1 come out on the driver or the passenger side, i always thought that it comes out on the driver side becasue thats what other ppls rx7s are like but when we were installin it, we thought it goes on the driver side but it didnt fit and wasnt suppose to be there, so we put it on the passenger side, it was perfect. so anybody got and ideas why its like that?

I would think that a single exhaust on an FC would go on the passenger side because of the exhaust manifold positioning. Maybe it's just me though...?

GT spec in general is a better exhaust. Better build quality, better sound, better look. I just don't have the money for it, bought my N1 used The N1 still has that "JDM" tilted exhaust. I'm not a big fan of single coffee can exhaust on FCs though so i'll probably switch to RB in the future.

i was planning on gettin the GT spec but my friend (a shop owner) told me that the GT is a lil too big for a NA. and now i got my N1, my friend told me that it is actaully really really good because its so straight.
