SACRIFICE POWER FOR FITMENT?

[koukis14.5]

I HEAR YOU GET MORE POWER OUT OF THE APEXI N1 BUT THE BENDS ARE TO TIGHT SO EXHAUST RATTLES. I HEAR HKS FITS PERFECT BUT HORSEPOWER IS LESS. WHICH DO I GET? I REALIZE NOT A HUGE POWER LOSS...

It reallty depends on if you want to put up with the rattling (which btw can be remedied relatively easily with a little ghetto-rigging.

yea i hear ya. hey have you hear of Lou's custom exhaust. they have one in brockton and i think in boston? i hear they do all custom,mandrell bent exhaust, but $$$

STAY AWAY FROM LOU'S EXHAUST!!! I can't stress that enough. Their product is cheap and, uh, cheap. you get what you pay for, as you probably already know. I went with the n1 gt spec, and at first had a very small amount of rubbing on the front of my driveshaft right at the front of the resonator. I tweaked the exhaust hanger in fromt of the cat and no more contact. As far as the HKS, I personally haven't used it as a comparison, but I haven't heard any complaints from those who have.

Well think of it this way, you could always boost your car for more power...but do you really want to deal with fitmant issues?
