N1 dual

I like my N1 dual. It is loud at first but I LOVe the sound. At WOT it sounds like the air is being ripped apart! I think it looks great too! But whatever the TI and Carbon Fiber ones are likely light and oh yeah say it together.....oooouuuuu....carbon fiber......oooouuuu.

I havent personally tried any others but i have the pettit. 3in stainless steel and it doesnt have a giant tip for homeless ppl to sleep in. Downshift and let it idle down from about 3grand......music to my ears it has a nice low rumble to it...nothing raspy sounding. Sounds great at WOT too.

it's just a carbonfiber wrap over the regular hiper, if anything it's heavier for like 2gram. and i heard the tip is not real titanium either, i'm kinda pissed right now. can anyone confirm the tip is not titanium? it does look differnt from the 4" titanium exhaust.

I got a N1 Dual and it is super loud even at idle. My friends call it a boat cause it sounds like an outboard motor but at WOT it is sweeettttttt. Looks kinda stock. I didn't like the big *** tip so I went with the dual tip

well im going with the apexi gt spec once i save enough for the compueter. i have the exhaust funds, but i garuantee i will be spiking when i put this on. as far as the ricey look, people ******* rice need to **** off. im not saying that i agree to most of it(well a lot of it) but if that is what someone likes let it be. big exhausts should not be considered ricey, its considered "I FLOW BETTER THAN YOU". ricey means neon wiper squirters and stuff like that. now that is gay, not something that actually adds to HP, although those indiglo pedals are good for 3-5 butt dyno HP

IMO, a big single tip isn't rice UNLESS it's just a tip bolted to a stock muffler/catback. If they just popped a tip on there that is pretty ricy.

Myself, I love my Apexi N1!

I agree, but most people assume that mine is just a tip...I mean how many are going to bend down and try to look through the tip to see through it...on top of that you need a flashlight...it's too late for us with 5-inch tips, the ricers have set the perception, and now those of use with REAL exhausts have to pay for the riceboys

Ya Apex GT rules!!!

Mine has 4 inches internal diameter.

Cool What about JIC Magic?

I really like the looks (polished Bling)and was thinking of the 1/2 Ti' & 1/2 SS one but would like to know how it sounds before spending $900.00.

The N1 duals have a nice low profile that work well if your car is lowered. The GT scrapes driveways on my friends at stock ride hight and the installer had problems fitting the 3.75" piping...so he said.

The Blitz is definately underated. People probably assume its cheap because of the very low price. It has kid of a dull gold/brass finish similar to Apex'i GT.

So has anyone tried the JIC or the Kakimoto for that matter?

AN N1 Dual is next on my list of goodies to get. I downloaded some audio files of TTT's red car.....that convinced me!
hmm... sound file? sound files of the other would be pretty nice as well how big are the tips on the Apexi GT and the other single-tips? are most 4" and up? doesn't anyone sell a single-tip the same diameter (or close) to the actual exhaust size anymore?

as far as tips go...

big exhausts should not be considered ricey, its considered "I FLOW BETTER THAN YOU
a tip has nothing to do with flow. a 3.5" EXHAUST flows better than a 2", but a 3.5" exhaust with 5" tip has no advantage over a 3.5" exhaust with 3.5" or 3.75" tip

IMO, a big single tip isn't rice UNLESS it's just a tip bolted to a stock muffler/catback. If they just popped a tip on there that is pretty ricy.
see above
