Has anyone heard anything about this new titanium exhaust from Apex'i, i like how the N1 points upward more than my HKS hi-power but i was wondering if the sound levels/sound quality were compromised?

Has anyone seen/heard this on an FD?
please post! thx in advance

 

Never heard the apexi but im sure it doesnt sound much different than the hks TI

Damn, thats hte 4" right? sounds quieter than i would expect, lol

I have the Hi-power and i have found that the HKS units (non-racing) are quieter than their Apex'i counterparts. the carbon-ti HKS unit would be more comparable to what this might sound like, but then again its two totally different companies and they might sound totally different.

 

by the way where did you find that clip on the HKS site, i cant seem to find where it is D=!

 

Just go to exhaust, then exhaust systems.

Not all of them have the FD for clips, thats the only fd they have on that site actually.

 

Thats a Greddy exhaust. On rx7store.net its listed under Greddy Titanium Exhaust

 

The Greddy and Apexi look very similar. Last I checked with Apexi their titanium had not been released.

Jason

 

That definately looks like the Greddy...

 

cept i got those pics off apexi.com...lol and it was just recently released to the public, check the site ! maybe something to look into!

 

wtf that is the same picture...weirded out!

okay i investigated (took about 2 seconds) greddy's exhaust has that flared tip remember?

rx7store.net must have put the wrong pic up

http://www.apexi-usa.com/product_exh...=258&pageNum=1

this is the greddy

http://www.rx7.com/store/rx7/GReddyFDTi.html

notice how the pic rx7store.com has doesnt have the greddy logo embossed nor the flared tip, they f'd up.

now where were we?

 

bump, noone has seen or heard of this?

 

i too wold like to know more about it, i was all ready to buy the HKS ti system but i read some post and it was said that they wouldnt be able to take the heat that the rotary puts out, i wonder if this is the same for all TI sytems. maybe FDnewbie can chime in.

 

Huh? What post is that? There are a lot of people using HKS exhausts here on the forum. The main problem with the HKS Carbon Ti is the clamp on the back which sometimes breaks. It has nothing to do with heat.

 

I've heard of this muffler. Super Street has a pic and some info on it (Jan. 2007). Super Street posted the same pic.

N1 ExTi (Expert Titanium) that's what it stands for if you didn't know

 

hey mahjik well i cant find the post but it was like a yr ago, and thats what kept me staying with my apexi GT. so are you saying there are no issus at all with the hks titanium handleing the rotary heat issues, if there is no problem ill buy it this weekend lol.

 

If you are referring to the Carbon Ti, yes its fine. I have one on my car now. I fired the car up last night and the exhaust is damn loud (3" DP, 3" MP with Metallic Substrate cat welded in). However, its a deep loud, not as much of the chainsaw loud like Apexi's tend to be.

Like I said though, I've read about several people having the rear clip/hanger break on them. The exhaust hasn't been on my car long enough to see if its going to be a problem.

 

BTW, the HKS Carbon Ti is not entirely made out of Ti.

 

ok that will work, i will have to see if i can get it on sat

 

hey BIG M well i just re-read what you wrote im not talkin about the carbon 1 but the TI race exhaust. do you have any info on that one. thats the 1 with the str8t pipe i think its 4 inch all the way back

 

Where are you getting it from? Used? The reason I ask is that HKS no longer sells that exhaust setup themselves.

 

wow.... you guys really got off subject..... Seriously though!!.... i need to know about the Apex N1 ExTi exhaust.
Im gonna be buying an exhaust soon and the ExTi is on of my top picks. I also have seen the article in super street. They said that it was the BEST exhaoust for the mazda rx-7!! Thats why i was wondering... is it really that good??

 

an exhaust is an exhaust, your going to pay more money for titanium and reducing weight. According to that the hks ti was the best exhaust since it had the largest piping diameter and it was made out of ti. The apexi n1ti is no better then the greddy ti or hks ti.

 

Be careful in believing what people claim.

How did they presume the ExTi is the BEST?

Unless the exhaust is cheaper, weighs less (or equal) and gives more hp than its competitors (or exhausts of this class), then there really is NO best.

Like purerx7 said, you're going to pay alot of money regardless for a TI/weight saving exhaust. Unless you go on ebay or buy it used.

If you were to ask me, the Apexi, hks and greddy TI's are the "same". You're now just choosing for what name you like best.

 

You actually believe what superstreet wrote? hmm.. As purerx7 and 1qwik7 stated, its just an exhaust..
