Apex N1 or HKS Hiper cat-back system for FC?

I can't decide between the Apex N1 cat-back or the HKS Hiper cat-back exhaust system for an 89' turboII? I'm leaning towards the HKS but, I hear it is real quiet and I want an exhaust that is some what loud. What are the pros and cons of both exhaust systems? Please share your opinions. Also, does Apex make the Dunk cat-back for the FC?

yes, bigger piping, bigger power. also goes out the back in a more straighter line. the hiper routes itself all the way to the driver side.

Well, I lean toward the company that designed that exhaust, A'PEXi, and not the one that copied them, HKS

I like my HKS. I don't see how the exit on the drivers side would a downfall. Sounds good and performs well.

I prefer the Apexi N1, the sound is great. Its a little loud but you grow into it real quick.

Weight balancing. With it on the passengers side, it helps to offset the drivers weight, thus making the car more even across.

Talking N1!

Love my N1! Eric has it right:
Cheap, light, exceptional sound.

Also, the silencer is nice if you have to...

And, the steel is holding up just fine here in the humid south: 3 years, no rust!

No complaints.

Not that I am aware of.
