thoughts on used apexi exhaust?

[dreamdsm99]

I came across a full apexi exhaust used on craigslist off a talon tsi awd. I have a 95 gsx and was considering getting it. any thoughts on used exhaust purchases or a price I should offer?

It's a great quality exhaust system - I have one. Sounds good, fitment was perfect, but it is not a true 3" exhaust. It narrows down to almost 2.2" in some spots. I installed a bypass for the track to overcome that problem.

I think you should be fine buying a used exhaust. Just check obvious things like holes in the exhaust and look for an apexi label. I would offer half price or less. If their selling it they prob. have no use for it so maybe you'll be able to get a steal

havent had the chance to research this exhaust that much yet I just saw it like an hour ago...what kind of price would half price or less be?

Maybe $250-300, can't go wrong with apexi but you could get a new ebay exhaust for less that will perform just as well or maybe better....

i wouldnt pay more than 200. If they do not want to go that low, check out this exhaust in the link below. I have heard nothing but good things about it. I personally own one for my d.d. and i love it

I would have to agree ebay is the way to go, I've had 3 of there stainless exhaust systems and they have always worked great! Although the bolts do get rusty here in MN

i would go look at it. see what condition its in. ask him FIRST what HE wants and if you think it is worth less then try to take him down on the price. i do it all the time.

ok thanks for your help guys! I will probably just go the ebay route as budget is an issue

Apexi N1 is very nice and sounds clean, I highly recommend you getting this and cutting the end where 02 sensor goes add a small pipe to make it true 3inch. Thats what I did to my HKS, I would try 280.00 thats reasonable.

The Apexi N1 system doesn't neck down on the inlet like some other aftermarket systems to hook up to the stock CAT. They have an adapter that can be removed, so no modifications are required there. The system is basically 3" all the way back (well they actually measure in mm & forget the specific size but basically 3"). Its a good system, except my recomendation is ditch their resonator as it necks down to 2" internally. If you basically have a stock setup, probably can run it as is but if your trying to make any real power, their resonator is a large restriction. In that case get a real 3" resonator & you'll be set.

There are some descent "Ebay" exhausts & then there are also some that are complete crap. Personally I like to spend my money on products I know will last.

apex sounds good, not ricey and loud.

for two hundred dollars you can get a brand new srs stainless steel 3"inch cat-back exhaust system off of e-bay and that includes shipping & still look's great i've had it for over a year.
