are you satisfied with your exhaust?
 
so who has the bonez cat converter and a apexi GT exhaust on your ride and how doyou like the sound/preformance of that combo?
i was going for the n1 (had that in the past and loved it) but it was sold out, so they offered me the GT instead. i was told it was the same design and preformance, but the only thing different was the full chrome and that it comes out on the opposite side (drivers side).
any other difference that they did not mention? im guessing GTs are better due to the price difference of the n1?

the GT spec is full stainless, my N1 is not. i wish i had the full stainless piping. but i don't like how the GT exits on drivers side.

309 05-05-08 10:09 PM

same here, i didnt like the fact that it came out on the driver side. i guess i was too used to the n1 coming out on the passenger side. imo i still like it exiting out from passenger side. had no other choice at the time of purchasing the GT.

well as for me, i have a corksport header, CS pre-scilencer (2.5 inch) and a CS 3 1/8 inch catback that i installed yesterday... OMG, is it loud! i think i will have to put a scilencer in just to keep my sanity, and the cops off my back.. it really sounds sick tho! true notes of a rotary!

K-Tune 05-05-08 10:29 PM

racing beat downpipe, racing beat presilencer, apexi n1 catback.


a little loud when driving around but it sounds great at WOT.

Agreed! True dual sounds like teh sex and whips this car like a greased rat running from flood waters. I'll try to post my video soon. Brap!

I also think I can shoot fireballs, but not sure, since I'm always in the drivers seat. Maybe if I get out real quick to check.

ramses666 05-05-08 11:55 PM

Yeah... My buddies confirm fireballs on upshift. sound is normally quiet but has nice roar at WOT. Looks great. Sounds Great. End of story.

i dont understand why they would change it to the driver's side...i also like single exaust exiting on the passenger side, not to mention at least it is better to distribute the weight on the opp. side of the driver.

309 05-06-08 12:39 AM

they discontinued it and will come with a newer versionof N1 in june or july, thats what Apexi says. price will be more than current N1.

mazda13B88 05-06-08 01:27 PM

true duals baby, kinda quite, everyone says i have the quietest rotary they know of but at WOT it sounds grrrrrrrrreeeeeeaaaaaaatttt!!!!!!

Funkspectrum 05-06-08 01:33 PM

I run the RB downpipe and presilencer to a corksport cat-back and I love the hell out of it.

309 05-06-08 02:26 PM

the deep sound of the N1 was great with my straight pipe, although other ppl around my house didnt. oh and the ppls cars alarm i set off when passing by..kekeke. sorry about that guys and girls.
love the sound, hate the complaints of others and especially when a cop is driving along with me. dont want him to smell the illegalness and have it towed away.lol can you beleive a cop pulled me over on the freeway. traffic was going about 65, i was i. From way back, cop drives past me and then starts to slow down to get behind me to turn his lights on. i tried to give as little gas as possible but lucky me with my perfect timing, i was climbing a hill on the 10fwy wb passing the 57fwy..for those who know that long ass climb. c'mon now, harleys are much much more louder that any other vehicles on the road.
guess theres many downsides to certain mods.
Dont know how the apex GT will sound. will find out in few days.

Harley guys don't have to worry about getting pulled over for the exhaust b/c it is that way from the factory. Cops can't give you a ticket for buying that bike. If it was an aftermarket exhaust then the cops can give you a ticket. Thats what the books say for VA if I remember correctly.

309 05-09-08 01:12 AM

anyone that got the Apex GT series, did it come with nuts, bolts, and a presilencer that was not installed? i jsut got one and only the exhause came. no nuts, bolts, gasket, and i beleive they said it comes with presilencer, (excluding the one thats already installed towards where the main cat is).

dkwasherexd 05-09-08 01:30 AM

mufflers are for weiners... go 3" sraitght pipe with no cat no resonators no mufflers, just anice huge tip welded on at the end.

309 05-09-08 01:48 AM

that would be nice till the state takes away your vehicle.

ohayou88 05-09-08 03:25 PM

I have a CS dp and Cs catback right now with stock cat. Im going to replace it with a test pipe using a borla xr1.

But as of right now... I love it.

TehMonkay 05-09-08 03:28 PM

pacesetter straight to greddy muffler from the TD06 KIt.

Forget about conversations at 80MPH.

Very quiet at idle though O_o

fc3sdrifterz 05-10-08 04:05 AM

Houstonderk 05-10-08 11:24 AM

I have basically 3 inch going to a cat and then out the passenger side with a magnaflow muffler. Kind of loud and it has a rattle can type sound to it that Im not to much of a fan. I like the depper growl better.
