Wondering if someone can help me out here. I'm not starting a discussion on which exhaust is best of anything. I've decided that I'm either going with the Apexi dual N1 exhaust or the Apexi Noir. I like the idea the low profile black coating and not having to worry about it rusting and tarnishing like so many do in such a short time where i live. The thing is I can't find out what the noir exactly looks like. All I've gathered says it's a straight through design based on the WS series with the black coating. The WS doesn't have an RX-7 application and it's not on the Apexi site, but I've talked to 2 shops (nopi and one other) that carry them and they assure me its an original Apexi part designed for the RX-7, but they're the type of place where you talk to a salesperson that only can process credit cards and wouldn't question me if I told them I need new pistons for the RX. Anyone seen one or know what it looks like? I'd guess it's like a regular N1 only coated, but can't be sure. Thanks for any help.

 

i really dont suggest getting the apexi exhaust system for rx7, i just got my N1 evolution installed 2 days ago and im in the process of changing it, they sound really horrible, to describe it.. sounds like a sore throat without a deep pitch.
If you do a search on these forums you will find many people complaining about the way apexi catback sounds, unfortunaley i searched a little too late.

 

I actually really like my exhaust. Its deep enough to set off car alarms, and very quiet with the silencer. Lightweight too. Oh and I have the GT Spec

 

The N1 is intensely loud.
Ive never seen a noir or heard one.

If you like the noir you might like the greddy SP2 exhaust. Its stylistically similar to the noir(could be painted black and itd be really close). Its also on the quiet side. I owned one and its one of the best sounding exhausts ive heard(others agree).
