well...IMO apexi is more popular and sounds deep and gives good performance especially good if you decide to turbo your 240.

well with all the big name brands the build quality is good all around, and the piping bends are also going to be pretty much the same, so i would say just find the best deal you can on an 80mm+ exhaust that isnt an ebay special ^^ that aside, just remember, double tip mufflers are ghey! :pface

why do i think double tip mufflers are gay? 2 pipes means extra usless metal and its just more material to get in the way of the exhaust flow. have you ever seen a double tip muffler on any kind of race car?

Well, whether he gets the N1 single or dual is up to him. They are both good exhausts. The only reason I recomended the dual is because I was told by other Nico members that they were good for both turbo or NA. I mean if he gets a 3in. and he decides that he wants to stay NA then thats too big. If he gets a 2.25 or a 2.5 in. and he decides to go turbo, then that may be too small. This is what I was told by many people. I was also told that the N1 dual gets quieter when your engine gets turboed. Im still debating on which one I should get when I get my S14.

exhausts always get quieter if you get a turbo, it muffles the sound regardless of what exhaust you have, be it aftermarket or stock. you make it sound like the N1 single tip piping is smaller diameter than the double tip? anyway, i dont like apex'i, so i dont really have a lot of knowledge about their products. buy whatever you want.

Like I said this was told to me in another thread about exhuasts. If dont get apexi I will get a greddy, but it would most likely be the apexi for the simple fact that it is the system thatI know the most about. If I change my mind in the future so be it, but for the moment Im sticking with the N1. What ever it is it will probably be a single tip b/c Ilike the way it looks. With the N1 it all comes down to whether you like 2 tips or 1.

im all about the RS*R GT-II, i also like the apexi N1 but it seems that every other person that has a aftermarket exhaust has a N1 so im going with the GT-II. its a high quality company and i like the style of this exhaust.

Same here... I also like the golden look of the exhuast canister. It's different and would go great with bronze rims.

Yeah, the correct one's on the phase2 page. The one I posted was off RS*R's website. But, yeah. I thought it was gold. (damn, no blingbling?)
