new exhaust - apex GT spec

Of course it's already installed


mmm 3.74" of bliss



from the turbo back.



Difference between my old N1 box (for a civic) vs my gt spec box and loi (www.sportcarmotoin.com) cut 5+ inches out of the box so it's freak'n huge


on a side note.. the car still doesn't run But my turbo is enroute from BNR so hopefully early next week i'll finally get to fire it up and hear what this exhaust sounds like

hehe i'm not gonna complain. i think it looks good on the car and definatly after seeing the craftsmanship in this exhaust i'm impressed.. I think it's a bit above the N1 but it might be due to the tubing they use on the n1 vs the gt spec .. gt is all shiny the n1 has that coating on it so it masks i'm sure they are crafted to the highest of standards.. but mines bling bling haha

Yeah what it is is that the apexi gt is stainless steal all through
The n1 is not its ss plated but not fully stainless
The gt has a bigger diameter through out but not by much, and looks hella good
On a side note i could of swore that it was on the opisite side of the car? They told me before i was about to buy it it was on the same side the N1 was that is the right side. Oh well whatever looks bad *** and enjoy it man considering its ss id say your gonna have that for quite some time.

I got it from Loi @ sportcarmotion.com. he'll meet/beat best prices and then it's just a matter of getting it shipped.

He had an auction on ebay and kicked one out at a killer deal 459.00 + 50 shipping... I talk to him alot on aol so he said I'm lucky cause I did better than I should have on that deal It was to good of a deal to pass up.. I was going to go Corksports until he put the auction up

Hmm thats really close to the bumper you might have brown burn mark issues.. in fact im pretty sure you will. It can usually just be wiped off with alot of elbow grease so watch out. -Gabe

the lic. plate frame was ment as a joke.. I actually put it on when I picked up the car in atlanta during nopi nationals.. ben and I though it'd be funny to run a clubsi plate on the rx-7.. mostly this could have been due to the lack of sleep and shitty flight

well the power difference is unreal. the weight i saved removing my old exhaust vs the new one was felt while pushign the car forward and backwards in the garage repositioning it

it's waiting on a BNR turbo before I can find out if it'll perform any better. Which i'm sure it is.. the old exhaust was done nicely.. looks like 1.5" crush bend piping.. who ever made the old exhaust for the previous owner must not be a good exhaust guy cause wow shitty exhaust.
