all n1 are the same.... if your turbo go straight pipe it definitly a noticable gain over an n1.

what did you think that thing over vader's mouth was? it was a muffler to cover up his whiny little b**** voice. the dark side likes mufflers, it makes our bone stock cars sound mean

That was a blow off valve, if he didn't have it he would explode because he has so much power.

The dark side doesn't need mufflers to make their bone stock cars sound mean, their cars are not anywhere near stock, witch means they sound like monsters with out mufflers.

I have the Circuit Sports on my CA as well. Sounds awesome and retains a stockish look.

It's been my experience that HKS makes the best stuff hands down. I really like apex-i and GReddy and AEM. But if if i can afford anything HKS makes i buy it instead of any other brand. HKS is always top of the line quality and does exactly whats it's supposed to do. HKS sometimes makes GReddy produts look like knock-offs. If you can ever afford anything HKS makes just get it and be dome with it.

Out of the two, I would have to go with HKS. My buddy has it on his s14 and it sounds great. But out of any I am happy with my Blitz NUR spec R and wouldnt trade it for any other, thats a lie, I would trade it for the Power House Amuse full titanium exhaust system! Good luck with your choice.

I would say just make your own exhaust thats what i did, bought a greddy tip went to my exhaust shop, had him run 3" all the way back as straight as possible with a cat about a foot or two away from the muffler sounds great not to loud, but loud if i romp it . Good for me plus less than half the cost....

I cant say anything about the hks, never heard one on a 240 yet.

as for me i have the apexi n1 and i love it! i get lots of compliments about it as well. i read in a couple of posts on this thread how the n1 is really loud, people in back seat cant hear anything, etc... i have to disagree.

i have a stock kade, brand new stock cat and the apexi n1 cat back.

it has a sweet low rumble to it at idle, and it doesnt seem to get loud at all unless i really get on the gas.

HKS I have had both the Apexi and the HKS and absolutely loved the sound of the HKS. As far as performance i could not tell the difference between the two. BUt my N1 was starting to rust where my HKS has none. so +1 on HKS
