I have a custom stainless steel exhaust, 3" downpipe, no cats, 2x 2 1/4" piping, and the car is quiet...
Therefore, I am thinking the N1 duals.
Does anyone have a sound clip of the N1 duals??

This is my list of cat-backs that are worth it in order of which I would buy:

RB-definately worth the money for the sound quality and durability
Borla-still very nice good quality and it should last a LONG time also and cheaper than RB but does not sound like ***
APEXi N1(dual) I would only buy these if both RB and Borla went out of business somehow. Its a great quality cat-back but the sound nor the tips are my style. The piping is like 2.5" and the tips are 4.5"(what about FALSE advertising did they not get?) The piping is also going to rust on you.
Greddy PE- Very expensive sounds good but the cans again are huge but they do their job. But the main factor in these being the last is the price!!!!


Magnaflow mufflers are not tastefull in my oppinion at all. They sound like *** above 3k rpm they just drone!

Any cheap muffler will sound the same like pure ***. Don't buy anything that is cheap buy something that is built with quality and great design like the ones I mentioned.

Ready?

The RB system does kick some serious ***, but there are alternatives. I have a single RACTIVE yes im serious 3in. inlet on the rear and a dynomax 3 in/out where my cats used to be, and it sounds amazing. Quiet purr at idle, somewhat quiet until about 4-5 when boost hits and then it starts to screm. Sounds like a jet, honestly it sounds better than any rotary ive ever heard. The ractive muffler was like 130$ and it is quality, especially for a rice brand. It was tough to find, most ricer places dont carry the 3 inch one. It looks good too.

My flame suit is on, but Ill get you guys a vid so you can hear/ see it.

Racing Beat sounds the best, but face it we drive suped up weedwackers, if you don't love the sound, you'll never like it.
