well it all depends on what your looking for

if you want maximum hp and dont care about how loud it is then the two best choices are the Apexi GT-Spec and the HKS Titanium which insludes a 3 inch midpipe.

if your looking for something quieter and more along the lines of the stocker then the two best choices are M2 and Racing Beat. they're both available in single or dual tips

The HKS Racing Ti exhaust is a 4" dp back system. The mid pipe is 4". This is the loudest exhaust out there and i still don't reccomend it for street use.

The Apex'i GT is 3.5" catback...and out of the CAT BACK exhaust i believe has the largest piping.

Sorry but your information is wrong.

haha sorry, but ya rotaryknight is absolutely right. the HKS is in fact 4" and the Apexi is more like 3.75". i doubt that you'll see any difference in hp between the size difference. the place where you'll get the difference is in the midpipe that the HKS comes with. it allows alot more air flow. but then again you could always go with the Apexi and a 3" midpipe and have the same thing going. its all up to you how much you want to spend now.

i myself am running a pettit 3" midpipe with the gt spec and i love it. highly recommended

Apex N1 Single, great sound, much higher flow than m2, RB, etc. and not outrageous like HKS mentioned, or GT. Plus the N1 looks amazing too.

Just my opinion, an dit is reasonably priced.

For a street car like 1bad7 said you really don't need anything more than a 3" catback and 3" mp.

I have the N1 too. Sounds great and looks amazing. I like Apexi muffelers because the tip is the same diameter all the way back to the muffler. It's a good size tip too (115mm)! I think you would be happy with either N1 or GT Spec unless you don't like hearing your car really scream!

I like the look of the Blitz. I don't think it flows as well as some of the others, but it's better than stock.

If I had to do it over again, I would probably go for the Blitz instead of my GReddy Power Extreme.

Thanks for all the input. The N1 Apexi is what looks good to me and is a ok price, though I've never heard any of them. A local muffler shop will do a catback and highflow cat for $425. The muffler is some off name brand like maxflow or something like that. I'm not sure about the highflow cat brand name either. I'm trying to make up my mind which way I'm going. Is the RX-7 store about the cheapest place to get the Apexi N1?

As far as sound, when I get on the gas I want it to be loud, when I'm not in the throttle it could be no so loud

I love my Trust Power Extreme II. Gets LOUD when you are on it hard but it is nice and quiet around town. Looks very similar to the Apex-i, has awesome fit and finish
