Well I do not have them on my car, I will have two very soon, but i am making the piping and exhaust turbo back myself. However there is one right next to me (my brothers) and it looks AWESOME I've heard them too and would suggest getting it.

Looks like Yokohama A032R on powdercoated stock FD rims. I bet it looks even better lowered! 87 GTR, tell me when you want to sell dual N1 if you don't have buyer already.

Any interest in selling that cat-back to me? And how soon, and how much would you let it go for. I am looking to get a system soon. BTW, a new system is about $635 shipped.

I have a TII and using a racing beat presilencer. I've heard they are a little raspy on N/A.

The silencers are made by APEXI, they bolt on at the tips. They are sold as optional items.

They do sell the universal muffler if you want to make your own system.

Thats the exact reason why i bought my HKS Hiper Cat-back drivers side exit (hehe..have to mention it to be anti-honda passenger side exit ) and i LOVE it. had it for 2 months, never gotten pulled over for sound. It was made for a TII but it fits nicely on my n/a and sounds really nice (low grumble). It is basically HKS's copy of Apexi's N1 exhaust, my brother has an apexi N1 on his 89 silvia and its actually louder than mine, they're both 3" pipe w/ a 4.5" exit.

Also, the dual exhaust looks like overkill on RX7's to me, such small cars with two huge exhausts just looks like too much in MY eyes.

I also have a funny story about mine..haha..i was on a one lane road turning onto a two lane, and this slow *** bus was in front of me turning into the right lane so i turned into the left, gunned it and there happened to be a teenage girl w/ a boy on the median. I hit 7500rpm and slammed the clutch and into 2nd, but as i did, the car backfired louder than i had ever heard before...RIGHT IN THE GIRLS FACE!! she screamed so loud and fell on the ground like i shot at her with her arms over her head in a duck and cover...i could barely drive the rest of the way home from laughter..haha...

I think duals look much better, but a single has its advantages. Also those look very large.

3.6" tips
4.8" cans

hmmmmmm

3.8" tubing
4.6" tips on the Apex'i GT

Yeah, why I mentioned, they're awfully big, I think 1 would look fine but two are huge. The RB seems mucch smaller and much nicer looking, they need to get away from the superdupertuner thing and make some real life sizes, wouldnt that big cause problems?

I have decided I'd will never get an Apexi exhaust. They way they point to the outside instead of straight back looks really bad.

You can just buy the universal N1 mufflers and have a shop put them in straight for you if you like it like that.

The only problem I have with them is how low they are to the ground. Could you imagine going down a steep driveway for sumin? Damn, might just lose a muffler. I do love how they fit the cut-outs of the rear bumper perfect.
