accident! sorry ..is apexi 3" btw? how about the hks?

Yes, the Apex'i N1 has 3" piping. I'm not sure about the HKS.

Apex N1 is not a full 3". It is more like 2.8" with a supposed design that has a short route with minimal bend angles. Also it is not stainless steel which is a no no especially at over $500. For the money the megan racing N1 style is the best value. It is a full 3" stainless steel catback and availble on ebay for $380 shipped.

Personally I am in the middle of a project and I am going with the megan racing catback and having a custom 3" turbo to catback ss downpipe made. This would be a good setup for you because the downpipe section is really where the emission standards need to be followed and having it custom made will allow you to adhere to the standards while creating a performance down pipe for about $300.

tanabe racing 3" cat back is a good choice for a gst. mendral bent with minimal bends(doesnt go over axle), and it is angled out if you like the look of that.

There is alot of controversy over whether or not there is a real performance difference or not.

No, there's not.



Or, at least, there shouldn't be.

But atleast look into it enough so that you can make an informed decision.

Can't argue with you there.
