Is Apexi N1 cat-back exhaust a good bargain at $700+ mark new? (not incl shipping tho) Will it be very loud as I wanna try to keep noise down, hopefully it does come with a silencer....

I saw other system will start at around $1100+ new... was thinkin to get the Trust PE II but at $1300 a lot pricier than N1. But UAS told me Trust is not as noisy as Apexi.... or maybe I should just get a locally built one...

i had a 3" exhaust custom made and it was cr#p. It wasn't mandrel beent and it was as loud as hell. Now i've got a jasma catback exhaust and it's alot quieter and the car is alot more responsive than with the custom made one. I'd say go with the brand name exhaust if you can afford it as your not only paying for the exhaust, your also paying for the development behind it. i was lucky enough to pick up a brand name for cheaper than i paid for the custom made exhaust ($900)

I have the Apexi N1 cat back exhaust on my car and it is not too bad. Seemed quite loud at first after driving a car with a stock muffler for so long, but after a day I was loving it. Only thing I have noticed is that there is a bit of a drone around 2200-2800RPM but the exhaust place said they could get this out with a different resonator.

If you buy a new one then it should come with the little silencer insert which drops the noise a bit more. I bought mine second hand for $600 so your price for a new one is pretty good.

cat cack exhausts r a waste of time, the most restrictive part of the exhaust is the cat itself!

your exhaust is only as big as the smallest part of it!

so if u got a 4inch cat back system and stock 2 inch front pipes, your system is basically a 2 inch system cause all the restrictions r where the smallest part is!:shake:

Nope Prank, it's Matt's car I believed ;) and he said he wants royalty for the pics.... hehehe

I haven't got any digi-cam at the moment so can't take the pic of my real car. However my bro just got one, so after exam tomorrow I'll try to find time to wash my car, then find a location I can quickly take a snapshot of my car and use it as my own original avatar :)

I'll give credit to matt until that happens... ;)

cheers

    • I clean my wheels every time I was the car, I also clean the barrels, the only product I use on the wheels is truck wash, followed by wash and wax, cleaning the barrels is easy with one of these microfibre thingies on a stick from Sabco, there also great for getting in between the front guards and body, and tight spots in the engine bay ย 
    • An updated post here. Sounds to me like there's definitely a bit of sketchiness here.ย  Old mate with 10 rusting Torana's in the front yard might be more who they're focussed on. (For right or wrong).
    • Is this not just about people wrecking, and storing, multiple cars in their front yard? I now a tow truck driver that was contracted by the council to clean up housing commission front and rear yards in houses and unit car parks I'm all for working on, and doing maintenance on your car in your garage or driveway, but some people definitely take the pissย  There's one house locally to me that I walk past regularly where the front yard and driveway looks like a wreckers, multiple cars in various stages of being stripped, and the yard looks like all of fluids are basically dumped on the ground I may be wrong, but it seems that the initial reports, which I've seen nothing actually official about yet, may be getting taken out of context, like alot of the latest "the sky is falling" stuff found on the youtubes for clicks
    • have they? Link appreciated. I live in Casey. I can see both sides of the argument in this case. There's a lot of sketchy stuff going on. There needs to be a clear definition of what this is supposed to be IMO. I wager the intent was to be a broad sweeping brush against people who have 4 cars up on blocks on their front lawn, not someone who services their own car behind their own gate on a weekend bothering probably nobody. But it'd be hard to legislate the difference there.
    • Oh, the wheels were already off. I wouldn't normally take them off to clean them although it does make it easier with the ceramic, so I might take them off when reapplying. I don't drive much but now with the ceramic coat, when I do drive and they get dirty I can get most off with the pressure washer. I'll be switching to dirtier pads soon which was the motivation for the ceramic as I usually just clean them and sometimes use Autoglym wheel protector. Nah, f**k the barrels! Haha, I'll give them a quick scrub when they're off the car and a pressure wash, but even I draw the line with the barrels. Yes, dark coloured wheels allow you to get away with a lot! ย
