I personally don't like the "loudness" of the Apex I N1.

I can go both ways. The Open pipe exhausts make the car really loud but the rotary sound is like sex for the ears while the RB brings the noise down to acceptable levels.

Why didn't you search anyways, this is thread # 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000 on the subject

Okay, how about this.
Accepting the Racing Beat true duals are best, should we replace the stock mufflers as well? (probably yes)
Also, whats the average HP gains from this $1200 system on a non-turbo model?

There, a better question ! :P

The RB system comes with mufflers ...

It's a bit expensive but it's also high quality. The exhaust is the place to start if you want to make more power on a rotary so you should get something good and not a autozone glass packed muffler.

I wouldn't get an auto zone muff.. not when someone gave me a magnaflow catback.
Either way, it doesn't come with it, its optional.
Their true dual exhaust system the ending is optional to leave the stock on ($90) or pay for mufflers (an extra $250 a piece (don't quote I'm not on the site aynmore))

Still, whats the average HP gains for a non turbo?
anyone know, or ballpark? I'm just curious..
I don't have even $100 to drop on muffs atm.. lol
all change left after buying it goes to insuring it so I can show off my (almost) POS (unmaintained) car.. lol

anywho, I do enjoy hearing the racing beat exhaust on any rotary engine, however, myself I have the Apex'i GT and I LOVE it! super nice tone, flows fantastic, and not loud at all (which is completely contrary to what every website says...) so either the RB or Apexi GT, or (i think) the Greddy system, but im not sure of the name, and have no idea on performance, it just looks cool.

thats what I'm going to do. Leave the stock header on, junk the cat and go straight to the Magnaflow I got.
I'll see how it works :P

I heard the cat's can have a lot of carbon buildup in them and be very restrictive to the flow. Any truth in that ? I can imagine so because of the excess fuel the rotary engine puts out.

can't forget that Borla makes a decent sounding exhaust, but the racing beat is by far the best sounding. I also like the Apexi GT series it's alright.
