input on APEXi N1 3"

[E Racer X]

Just wanted to get any input you guys had on the APEXi N1 3" cat-back and their downpipe as well. I really like how the N1 exits the back of the car and the fact that it takes the last flow-robbing bend out of the exhaust system.

Thanks for your opinions!

i love my N1 and my N1 downpipe as well.. I think most N1 owners will agree and tell you the same..

I was under the impression that the N1 was only 2.5"

 

[drewstealth94]

it is 2.5 right before the bend of the downpipe, then it is 3 all the way back. I have that same system on my car. It performs very good and sounds great. The only problem i have with it is that it hits on the bottom of my car where the cat was. It hits the hanger bracket right above it. I'm trying to figure out right now how to get rid of the problem.

I'm happy with my N1 Exhaust and GT DP...I think they are awesome and makes a nice sound...gotta love setting of car alarms. installation was a easy. except for that f'n O2 Sensor behind the stock CAT.

drewstealth94 is correct its 2.5 from O2 housing to the bend then a full 3" inch all the way back. good luck and hope that helps

Is the n1 catback Stainless?

 

[espinelli]

No, the N1 series are not stainless...only the GT series are stainless. unfortunetly apex does not make a GT series for DSM's

What are you talking about. GT is made for 2g's http://www.wholesalehyperformance.com/apexi-exhaust-gt.html

 

[espinelli]

that must be a misprint...check the apex website and look under applications....

unless they recently came out with a GT spec Catback for DSMs then...my bad..

Thanks for all the input guys, keep the opinions, comments, and experiences coming!

I am a happy N1 customer. Best exhaust I have bought so far. 3rd exhaust is 1.5 years!

 

[E Racer X]

Thanks again, just purchase the N1 downpipe and cat-back system. Can't wait to get it on the car, picked up a 2nd gen. MAF sensor, dejon tool 3in. intake, and 2nd gen. K&N FIPK. Hope to get into the 12's in the spring with the aid of 20psi and 100 octane. I'll settle for low to flat 13's until the next stage.

the n1 muffler closes in to 2.75 internally, there have been many posts discussing this.

I don't know about that. I have the RRE 3'' downpipe and it is the exact same diameter as my N1. I'm not saying your wrong just going off the facts that I know.

Oh yeah, I love it and wouldn't trade it for any other exaust out there!

 

[crashed97tsi]

the downpipe is fine, but the muffler on the n1 catback necks down to 2.5 or 2 3/4.

 

[TechT]

I think that a misprint as well..I wanted the Gt when I brought my N1.They don't make it for DSM's.Nor do they make the Dual N1 which was my other choice...

 

[JRock]

I lovemy N1 DP and catback. They sound great and I can feel some gain on the butt dyno.

 

[E Racer X]

I found they do offer the GT downpipe for the 2nd gens. only. Check out the parts finder on this site and choose exhaust systems for 1st gens. Then go the the Apex N1 cat back and look at DSMotor Sport's website. They offer the GT for the 2g. I called on this and the guy said they have them. This should clear things up for you guys.

I love the my N1 catback, and Buschur DP, everyone tells me that they can hear me a good half mile away, so they always know when i am comin.

 

[dsmcrazy]

Apex'i does make a GT spec. catback exhaust for 95-99 gst and gsx. I bought my GT spec. downpipe and catback from horsepowerfreaks.com. I just installed it on my car, and I gotta tell you, this in an awasome system. Lots of power and very nice sound. I would defenitely recommend it.

Good god those GT series are expensive..

 

[bugdoubt]

my n1 makes me go yay!!!! worth every penny

 

[vertGST]

don't have it..............heard it....................i want it

 

[Phoenix_RsX]

yeah my buddy has one. And that's the one I'm getting. If it wasn't for the N1, I'd probably get the thermal R+D. hope your getting the 3"pipe w/ the 4" muffler.
