Anyone used the A'PEXi Active Tail Silencer?
I saw this awhile ago and have been wanting to get a pair for my dual N1s, they produce nice power but are a bit too loud just driving around town, especially coming home late. Apparently the ATS uses a pressure activated valve that will silence during normal driving but not hinder power output under WOT:

+1, I'd like to know the answer to this as well. I've been looking into silencers that won't diminish power and with this particular unit it seems like you'll be making little to no sacrifice. Even if I don't hear from people I guess I'll still go ahead and purchase this part. I already KNOW I'll be getting pulled over if I come across a cop on the streets so I guess anything will help 
.
BTW - I have an HKS Ti Racing Exhuast and YES it's loud
. It's not too bad for me, but I really think other (normal) people will HATE it!

I have these on my Apexi N1 Dual:

They definitely reduce the noise, which was my main concern, as I didn't want to draw too much attention and I was setting off car alarms left and right when I drove by them when they were parked. Also I just remove them when I go to the track. Very simple to install and remove. I am not sure about the effect on the power, but it wasn't anything that I found to be too noticeable (at least in my car).

What about the Active Tail Silencer? Anyone use that specifically? From their website it says that the difference from "dyno numbers" with and w/out the silencer are nearly identical. If nobody has this, then I guess I'll be the first to post regarding its potential. I'll be having my car dynoed in 2-3 weeks and I'll ask my tuner to run the car with and w/out and hopefully I can have some real numbers for everyone. Later.

I got my pair of ATS's and installed them today, seems to quiet it down a whole lot but when i floor it I'm not sure if it as loud as before like they state, I'll have to do a back to back test. And only a dyno would prove that my power is the same, however it does seem to pull just as hard.

Wow, I think this is where the thread turns in to a trainwreak. I'll start by calling you an idiot. I only hope you are joking.

^^ Good call. I thought about this one when I had a zx6r... run from the cops and maybe die, or take a ticket for doing something I shouldn't have been doing in the first place. It's a tough one.
