Which Apexi Exhaust is Better?

Hey, just wondering which Apexi Exhaust is better? The N1 Evo or the GT Spec? Better as in HP gain, loud and deep tone sound, cool factor. If anyone has experiences these exhaust, please post your experiences. or any other exhaust. (HKS, CorkSports, etc)Thanks.

what are you running FC,FD? and if FC is it turbo or N/A? N1 is good for n/a but you lose back pressure with the large GTS. the N1 also looks better in my opinion especially as the single. Either was you go it will most likely be loud Apexi exhaust are known to be loud.

I hated my N1 on my NA. GT spec just has a better quality build and I hear it sounds better. Also looks better to.

N1 FTW.

i dont get how everyone says they are SOOO loud. if you get the catback with the presilncer its not bad at all. i have it on my catless t2, and yes its loud, but its not annoying.

deep at idle, not ricey, still lets you have the rotary engine brap.

but, i would trade my N1 for a Racing beat ANY day.

GT SPEC probably has bigger piping. Bigger piping usually has a deeper sound, but will be pretty loud when you open her up. On the other hand, the N1 evo has ss piping opposed to the older n1 which brings its quality up, and it also looks nice, at the expense of looking more like the crowd. I say GT SPEC FTW.

I had a RB header, Bonez hi-flow, to an Apexi N1. It wasn't sooo loud, but I was always setting off car alarms when I just cruise by. And the drone at 3K RPM on the highway was so annoying. That's one of the reasons I got rid of it. Racing Beat full exhaust is just fine for me.

I love my Tanabe Medallion Concept G. I don't know anyone else who has one at the moment which is cool cause too. I wanted a combo of performance, sound quality and low dB sound levels so I settled on the RB, RS*R and Tanabe for choices. There are NO droning sounds in the cabin and I only hear my tires and wind noise at hwy cruising speeds (same as when I had stock exhaust). Plus the exhaust looks nice without being to large and ricey. I guess the best description is it has a dual personality... quiet when cruising and mean/throaty when you get on it (not raspy). The rest of my set-up is a Bonez DP and Bonez Hi-flo cat. I'm going to make a exhaust clip at load but I have some at idle right now. Here's some pics I took when I got it and also after install...
