If you don't care about noise then get the Apex Gt. The N1 is a step lower in noise but not as free flowing. If you have mucho dinero and don't care about noise at all then the HKS Titanium is a good choice. Quiet and ok in terms of performance then the M2 Dual or the Greddy systems.

Reasons for the HKS Hiper titanium because it is light weight and because it is straight through 4" piping for good high end horspower. You don't need the mid pipe anymore since the HKS pipe bolt on from your downpipe all the way back. Or you can go with the GT-Spec cost half the price and it is a full stainless steel exhaust system. It has 2.5" outlet to a full 3.75" and it also comes with the silencer for noise reduction also has good high end horsepower.

The HKS Hiper titanium will cost you about $1250, only the titanium comes with 4" piping and it is the only exhaust in the market that offer 4" piping for the 3rd gen. You can purchase them at www.mvpmotorsports.com they have a good price on them.

I meant that if you're not concerned with noise levels then the GT spec is a good choice. The HKS titanium is basically a straight pipe. I have a N1 Dual and the decibal level at redline is intoxicating.

Trust evolution II. I don't think you can even buy it? not sure. I saw it in turbo once, and my car has it because the guy i bought it off of had connections!
so a downpipe, midpipe, and trust evolution II. it shoots nice flames too. no where near st. legal so don't even try. I ran it through inspection a little rich just so i could pick up a temp. tag in my state. The legal limit is 220 hydrocarbons, i had 2356, over 1000%! Go figure. you can smell it for a mile. In turbo magazine they had a downpipe, high flow cat, and the trust muffler, and it passes emission. If i find time i'll try that, but i'll just throw the stock stuff back on for know and get it through.

I think that's the one, it says 4" but it also says steel it's about $1200.
Can you remove the resonated midpipe on the Hyper titanium so you can swap on a cat to pass emissions?

HKS HIPER
OK, Let me finally clarify for you guys the different HKS Exhausts.
There are three versions of the HKS Hiper-
1. Hiper (standard), cat-back mild steel 3" piping. Stainless steel canister.
2. Hiper (carbon/titanium), cat-back stainless steel 3" piping. Stainless steel cansiter with carbon fiber overlay and titanium tip.
3. Racing Hiper, downpipe back stainless steel 4" piping. Titanium canister and tip. This exhaust is not street legal has no resonators. It is 4" all the way through. It is not recommended for street use most cars will have to be retuned do the the higth flow of the exhaust will make some motors "pop."
This exhaust with the silencer in sounds like a Apex GT with downpipe, midpipe and silencer out. It is the loudest exhaust out there and an officer would have to be dumb and deaf not to give you a ticket for it.
And for those of you that have doubts all three of these exhaust were test fit on my car for the U.S. market.

I have a Greddy TR Evolution for my T88 setup, it comes with a tip silencer similar to the APEXi GT-Spec exhaust, I'll let you guys know what it sounds like as soon as I get everything installed. BTW this exhaust also comes with a resonated midpipe and is made to be used with the T88 kit from Greddy, and it's connected by v band type clamps.
