apexi or hks
i was wondering which muffler is better hks or apexi? ive had n1 duals on my TII and i liked the way it sounded, now does hks high power sound any different? im looking to go single 3in back and i was just wondering if hks had a better or different sound than a apexi n1 tip.

HKS with no cats =) Wins every time lol HKS with cats is very quiet and clean. Both look very similar but I prefer the sound of the HKS over the sound of the APEXi. Not to mention my experience with HKS products has yielded great results on a the two cars I've "built". Keep in mind I am driving an FD... not an FC.

i went with apexi n1, it sounds awsome but im still curiouse about hks. maybe if i get bored with this exhaust ill cut off the the n1 and go out and buy a hks and weld it up there. nobody had hks in any of there shops and i was with out exhaust so i had to buy n1. it was either n1 or skunk2

Yea well you'll only hear good things from me. I owned an Integra before I had my FD and I put an HKS HiPower system on it and believe it or not it made up for the lack of VTEC. It gave me plenty of top end power to pull on the VTEC Integras. Good quality, superior performance, and it's not very loud. Good products if you ask me. And their SSQV BOV is orgasmic! lol

Do you have your main cat still in place? Downpipe? You are running dual correct? Is it a bolt on cat back system or is it welded up "custom"? You might be able to add resonators or if you are running a midpipe you could switch to a hi flow cat or resonated midpipe. It kinda depends on your exhaust set-up though....

Add a resonator in the piping where the cat was to quiet it down a little. Won't take away as much power as a hi flow cat. My car is 3" all the way back with no resonators and it's loud. Resonators, from the exhausts I've heard make a bit of difference in lowering the volume of the exhaust.
