Question RB exhaust question

I have a full turbo back RB exhaust system, it performs well but i wanna open it up and add that "aggresive to the max" look of the Apexi N1 duals

that kit is a cat-back system made to bolt on to stock without modafication, if i remember correctly. to get to the point.....will the apexi cat-back bolt right up to the RB system??

im not extremely firmiliar with either system but i think the apexi one comes with a Y-pipe too right? will i need to use the RB Y or the apexi Y.......will it matter??

any help??

thanks

N1s are rice LOL... leave the RB on they are sweet.

I bought the N1 Cans and had the Y pipe and rest of the DP back custom made. The N1 cat back has a flow resrtiction at the Y pipe. So I went 3" RB DP, 4" DP to 4" Y-pipe, split to 3" pipes to each N1 can. Also the N1 catback has an angle at the cans .. I didn't like that either, mine are dead on stait. But is loud as ***!

well thanks for the advice scott, but you'll be glad to know that at least my TII will never recieve a park bench.

Rpeck, i want that slant up, thas why i want a set of N1's. and the noise level damn right man!! let the earth tremble for miles to resound the sweet melody of 'there' doom!!....hahaha

hah almost forgot, so would it be doable to mount the N1's on the RB Y-pipe[i wanna keep the 'upslant' and don't wield to well]

Just be careful what you wish for my friend. I can't start my car before 9 am on weekends, before 7 am on weekdays. Can't drive home after 10 PM any night. I set off ANY car alarm of every neighbor in the neighbor hood, just driving around. My neighbors hate it, the cops hate it, and it gets anyonying to me at times also. I will be putting in a high flow cat come smog time in Sept. And i will be leaving it installed. It's just far too loud, sounds like a god damn jumbo jet. I had to install 2 amps, and 5 new speakers just to hear my stereo over the exhaust. I have a BOV that blows off at 112DB, but I will never know, I can't hear it over the exhaust.

....yummie not to worry about the neighbors, my brother has a 383stroker camaro in the backyard with no exhaust

he starts that every now and then, "to keep it cleaned out" (since it never leaves that spot)......of course he usually does this at about 11:30 at night

my main concern is to have those big cans and the angle on them.....if they are too loud i'll always have my RB's to put back on
