Hey i know theres been a lot of discussion abotu exhaust and i've already done searches but a lot of them are pretty old..so i wanna ask some ppel that recently got the apexi n1 dual some questions. Is it worth buying? i've heard it can melt ur bumper is this true for any1..and if so how can u prevent it. I dont want to ask abotu noise because every1 have there own opinion so will just turn into debate, but wut about performance wise was there a big difference in power gain? Is the tip just made of stainless steel or is the pipping too because at the apexi site the pipping doesnt seem to be stainless steel. thnx for the help

 

Yeah, I'm pretty sure Apex'I doesn't make an N1 dual for FD.

 

ya it does

 

i had my dual n1 for about 6 month, n my bumper looks fine. n i dont think piping is stainless, it was coated by something. for sound.. when i first got it, it was pretty gay, but seems like sound changes everytime i drove it.. n it sounds pretty dammn good now. i bought it cuz it looked pretty good, n i guess it was worth it. felt gain power

 

I loved mine until I got my GT Spec.

 

haha.... isn't the GT spec just horribly loud?

 

i absolutely loved mine, flows extremely well, you will feel it. not sure about the exact hp gain though. so it will flow as much as you would want it to. i know you dont want to ask about the sound, but with the twins i loved the tone. its a little on the loud side, but sounded so cool. i often turned off the radio just to hear my car. i miss it. now i have a big street port, and a single turbo, and it was WAY too loud, (but flowed plenty) . so i bought a tanabe. its quieter, but has a big tip. i loved the look of the bigger dual tips with the apex. it was touching the black plastic under the bumper, so it melted that a little, but not the bumper itself. the stuff that its coated with is purple, i think its like that jet-hot coat stuff. (its sitting in the other room, i could take a picture for ya if you wanna see what it looks like) my buddy and i both have it. when we drive, as he flies by me at WOT it sounds like a damn jet taking off(you can tell it flows a ton). as i said, with the twins, i loved it. but now its for sale, along with the tanabe, trying to get enough for the racing beat.

 

N1 dual is a solid exhaust. Just use the silencers if you're concerned about noise (if you aren't now, you will be after you get it).

They won't melt a bumper if mounted correctly - they don't even touch the bumper.

 

it's SO LOUD

 

Yep. With a mid-pipe it is VERY VERY loud. You will be pulled over if you floor it around a cop.

 

LOUDNESS isnt a bad thign for me can show off those damn mustangs and **** with their piece of **** exhaust. well i made up my mine and going for them. thanks for all the help guys.

 

the n1 duals are nice, somewhat loud, but a good loud not to extreme. plus keeps the stock look

 

n1 dual + stock look in the same sentance does not make sense..

 

is the n1 single tip real load with the silencer?if I put it on my single turbo fd?whats the best single tip pipe I can buy?thats not to loud but has good sound and flow?I dont want to get pulled over for it being to loud but I want a performace sound too.

 

it is listed on www.apexi.com for the fd

but yeah man if you like noise i'll sell you mine and get a racing beat. even with silencers it is annoyingly loud and drones on the highway. sure it makes really cool noises but i mean really, im not showing off my car 24/7. its just like why i wouldnt get a bov, id be driving to the super market in the middle of the day and it would be going phffsssssttttt phfffssssst phffffsssst every time i shift.... right now it goes bwaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh which isnt quite as bad but still... i just want it to shut up sometimes.

 

how much do you want for it?

 

I don't think your 1.3l rotary will be showing up any V8 when it comes to exhaust note! Loudness is one thing. Sounding like an overgrown chainsaw isn't something to be proud of.

 

Neither is sounding like a boat.

 

it sounds like ***....i know...i have one....it wasnt bad until i got a midpipe...it was obnoxious...but not bad...now its no more radio for me.

Ok lets get one thing straight... V8's INVENTED the exhaust note.

The RX7 is many things, but to think making the exhaust loud is going to make V8 owners wet w/ envy is laughable.

V8 - Made exhaust something you WANTED to hear.

If your car doesn't sound like an indy car or a V8, it doesn't need to be heard.

 

thats YOUR preference... id rather not have my car sound like a 4 cylinder angry bee or a freight truck/aircraft carrier.... i love the motorcycle/chainsaw sound... im proud of my overgrown chainsaw...

make your offer

 

I think what he means is that the dual tip is more understated than some of these coffe can looking exhausts. I had the N1 single which looked like it was just hanging out in the open. Now I have the dual tip and it looks way more refined, like it is supposed to be there. It's all what look you want I guess.

Also the pipes don't touch the car when it's parked but the black plastic above the pipes is a little melted. You would never notice it unless you went looking for it.

 

Ok now I know for a fact that the dual tip with a downpipe stock cat and silencers is less than 90 db. We were up at Laguna Seca last weekend and they have a 90 db sound limit and a fixed and mobile sound checker. I did not set off the sound meter once all weekend under wide open throttle.

 

neofreak, what do u mean it doesn't make sense?
