Single Exhaust vs Dual Exhaust
I'm planning to replace the exhaust on my Vert.
I really would like to go with a set-up that is right
I've already planned to buy the Apexi N1.
But I don't know whether to go Single or Dual?
Anyone have suggestions?

As far as a clean dual setup id recommend Racing Beat, it sounds decent and looks good without going overboard while giving you a bit of power.
But these are only my suggestions, Youtube has tons of video clips for you to look and listen. Its up to you what you ultimately want to get your jollies from.
Good luck!

for your application id say duals are better for you. A single could give the most power but it could even sacrifice some low end tq and noise levels. If you decide to go turbo and track your car id recommend single. But as a DD or if you need something other than stock id go with the Racing Beat exhaust. Again these are only suggestions. There are a few threads you can find using search button regarding other exhaust questions. Good luck with the research and buy.

if you want a little louder but not to much louder, I would do this

I'm prolly gunna take the single off my 88 and do it with the 2 N1s
Also single exhaust will get you tickets all the time, if not once a week at least once a month.

Ah, you know you want it so loud it shatters windows and shoots 10 foot flames.

I think the convertible is intended more for looks and comfort rather than all-out performance. Therefore, I think it is better with dual exhaust that has good noise suppression and gives the car a more balanced look from the rear.
For a non-turbo engine, the Apexi dual N1 with 90mm tips would probably work pretty well. The 115mm tips are entirely too large for an NA engine. FYI the turbocharger's turbine soaks up a lot of noise, so that is why turbocharged cars can get away with mufflers that do not suppress noise very well. Those of you who have NA engines should stay away from "turbo" mufflers.
Like others have mentioned in this thread, I think you would be better off with the Racing Beat catback.

"Omg Racing Beat is awesome!" I was pretty pissed when I spent $700 on a RB (stock) exhaust.
On a scale of 1 - 10, 1 being stock 10 being an Apex Single, RB is a 1.5, though I will admit it looks better than stock (after you spend a bunch of time heating and aligning it)

For a given amount of backpressure, either one should perform the same. To get equal backpressure you need to run a bigger single system, which combined with 1/2 as many mufflers makes it louder, all else being equal, but it also makes it a bunch lighter. Looks is personal preference.
I'd rather have a lighter single, as long as it's not too terribly loud.
For a dual use car, I'd definitely consider a custom built single with a removable supertrapp on the end, then swap it out for a plain tip at the track. That way it'll be quiet on the street, but nice and free flowing at the track.

I like the n1 duals on my vert. They sound really good with RB downpipe and no cats, but its loud. Go with the duals, I recommend them. BTW I wish I would not have wasted the money on the silencer inserts for them.

What about power?
Is there a difference? Dual better than Single?

I installed mine and didn't have any issues. Didn't have to heat and bend ****. If you replace all the rubber hangers then it will work just as stated. And it's not stupidly loud but sounds good when you get on it.
