Apexi' doesn't make a turbo back.

Also keep in mind you'll increase boost, so also check into a fuel pump, FCD, and finally porting the wastegate with a full turboback exhaust.

i agree with jager on what he said also to answer your question i would say racing beat will be better isnt as loud and may make alittle more power then the apexi i had a apexi single on my car and i liked it good quality and sound but i upgraded to a bigger one

i have the n1 catback on my 1990gxl w/t2 and the sound is great, very deep, not raspy. BUT on lowered cars, it scraps a little =( ( (

ALSO if it matters to you at all...the RB weighs alot more beinga dual setup...

if you are looking to have a nice muscle rumble the old dynomax cat back sounds wicked especialy when you are slowing down and when you are going throught the gears it sounds like a jet ,the other ones are nice to but if you have a t2 it sounds all muscle and the cheapest

im partial to racing beat ..

the sound is low until you get on it, and the quality is top shelf

plus the dyno says upwards of 50+HP to be gained from the extra boost you WILL run

i was wondering, i have a mild street port with a LARGELY ported turbo, right now she runs 6.5-7psi w/o the main cat and how much would it rise if i was to get the racing beat?

RACING BEAT is the best system out there for the FC. Sounds great and is not too loud until you open it up.......... normal city driving will make you blend in with the other cars and the cops won't target you as much as the civics with straight pipes...

If your upgrading the fuel pump, don't forget to remove the stock FPR and replace it with an aftermarket like aeroquip, and I strongly suggest you get and air/fuel ratio gauge.

you dont HAVE to do that ..

of course your gonna want something to handle the extra fuel, but you dont HAVE to get an fpr

if you have a s4 just go with rtek 1.7 and some 720 secondaries


best bang for you buck ...

Apexi N1's make your car a cop magnet

I got pulled with my N1 system and got a warning for the thing being too loud, and I've never had that problem since I got my RB system

Btw, do you have a fuel cut defender? Are you planning on porting the wastegate? These are things to consider before you install a full turboback system

Interesting point. Wouldn't the fuel flow be a bit much for the stock FPR?
