SEARCH. Apex'I N1 is a very good exhaust. I for one have the GP Sports Spec D. They're both 3" piping. Others like the HKS 2.5". Just search, im sure there have been posts and polls on the issue

theres tons of "good" exhausts out there, it all depends on what you need it for and what kind of noise level you can tolerate. ive got my eye on a 5zigen borderIII when i get the money. all i can say is search around, millions of posts on this subject.

Good luck getting a GP sports exhaust now. Ever since one of GP's American distributors effed em real good up the arse, they're trying to stay out of the american market directly. You will have to go through someone who will have to go through a distributor in Japan to get those now. When I bought my spec D from enjuku about a year ago, it cost me about 500-550 if I remember correctly, and now they're quoting me 600 for the mild steel version. BTW, the spec D does not have a resonator and will be difficult to keep a conversation in your car with passengers when you're doing 60 on the freeway. It's loud, but you'll get to love it with time. I did *cries for loss*

Oh, I didnt realize that about GP Sports. I got mine for $400 with free shipping and a free t-shirt from touge factory :) Its cool to know i have a rare product. Haha. I dont really notice the backpressure. I plan on going cams, headers and ecu in the next few months so it should be better by then. not to mention turbo in like a year. I like the exhaust alot. Its JDM tyte now

The guy has a KA with only an intake(assuming looking at his dyno chart).

HIs first run was (w/o the exhaust) 126.9rwhp 138.7 lbs/torque

His run with the exhaust: 139.1rwhp 146.8lbs/torque

I guess the exhaust made 12.2 rwhp and 8.1 lbs/torque. Very good:ylsuper

good, im wanting to get the RS*R exhaust that is 80mm cuz im going to be turboing pretty soon and everyone always says that running an exhaust that big will result in major loss of low end, but everyone that actually does run it doesnt complain of any losses
