Dual N1 Exhaust and some... tint

[grimple1]

Well, I finally got around to taking some pictures of my car since I added an exhaust (A'pexi Dual N1) and some tint. Next up is the VSLD 4.4 sitting in the basement and some S13 cams.

maybe you should also lower your car

[Juujai]

agreed lower it. wheel fitment seems to be unsavable but otherwise clean 14

[masticatingcow]

Yes, I was going to make a crack about the gap, but I'm glad someone else stepped up to the plate. Anyway, nice N1's. Welcome to the club.

[dickie]

how do you guys like the dual n1's? its one of my options for exhaust i have been thinking about lately.

[masticatingcow]

I have no complaints. It's heavier than the stocker, but not by a lot. It hangs kind of low, but besides that, the only problem I've had is that it makes working under the rear half of the car kind of tight.

[VinceSez]

you n/a? if so how loud are the n1's? i really like the look of them. one of my fav exhausts next to brm

[masticatingcow]

It's loud, but tolerable. I posted a thread on here a while ago with some sound clips... lemme find it.

EDIT: Here it is. zerothread?id=107249

Yes, I'm NA (for now). It's louder than I'm used to, that's for sure. I had an A'pexi GtSpec on my honda and it was much softer. I'd say it's probably a 6/7 out of 10 on the loudness scale. It's a deep loud though and not the typical 4 cylinder lawnmower loud.

I've considered lowering it... I dunno. It seems like a lot of money and there have been many times that I'm glad I wasn't... Chicago Streets are crap. We'll see.

Also, the parking spot is sloped a bit. That street is kinda shaped like a "n." I'll try to grab a picture in a flat spot.

N1 Dual looks the best of any exhaust I've seen on a S14, but I wish it was stainless.What's the tint you have on your windows? I looks a fair bit darker than mine.

[chrislis]

im running the dual apexi n1 and i love it. it could be loud and ignorant at times ie: on highways just going a steady 65. but it sounds good nonetheless.

[BlackFlag_s13]

I'm thinking either N1 duals or GP Sports Exas Spec-R.... Leaning heavily towards the Spec-R Its SOOO HOT!!

Yeah, the tips are stainless and the tubing is coated in titanium.

It's funny that you ask about the % on the tint... In truth it varies. The rear window and backseat windows are 20%, the front is a 35%. It is almost un-noticable until I point it out to people. The reasoning is that it's illegal to have tint on the front windows in Illinois so I went with a milder tint and hope they don't notice.

I did the tinting of the side windows myself by purchasing a squeegie and a pre-cut tint kit from tintkits.com. I tried to do the rear but it was a royal PITA. So I had to break down and have a professional do it. It's b/c the rear window is curved and the sides are semi-straight. Very easy.

Uh, isn't it aluminized mild steel?

The N1Ti doesn't come in dual tips...

[1WheelWonder]

Your car looks really nice, good work.

[574-240sx]

definitely lower the car after winter. Also the N1s are too heavy and get in the way when working under the car. I love the sound I would have bought something else if it wasn't installed on the S14 when I bought it and if I didn't pull it off a S13 parts car I had.

[GhostDriver]

The car will look great after a drop because it doesn't look terrible like it is. Btw, it looks exactly like Anands car.

[skydragoness]

Personally, I think the car should be raised to go rallycrossing.

[grimple1]

Uh, isn't it aluminized mild steel?

All I know is what A'pexi tells me:

"The N1 Dual is a hybrid variation of the N1 exhaust. This system incorporates a twin pipe, twin canister design for improved mid-range torque without sacrificing top end power. The twin piping is constructed of mild steel with a titanium particle coating mated to SUS 304 polished stainless steel canisters. Each canister features a polished 90mm (3.54 inch) tip. Robotic TIG welds compliment the hand crafted MIG welds to create on of the most innovative and dynamic exhaust systems on the market.

CONCEPT:Retain the same peak HP of the single N-1 while improving mid range torque

CHARACTERISTICS:Mid to high-end power "

It's a dark grey compound and kinda feels like sandpaper. Almost like a powder coating of some sort. It'll take years for that thing to rust. Heck even a generic down the road muffler shop exhaust will last for many years.

The N1Ti doesn't come in dual tips...

I'm not sure I mentioned the N1Ti. I was talking about the Dual N1 exhaust.
