I have been looking at a few exhaust systems to get for my WRX. I like the Blitz but i know its way too loud so i ruled that out. I really like the sound of the Apexi n1 and the HKS Hi-Power as well. Between the Apexi and the HKS which would be the better quality exhaust? Also which would be louder. I don't know if theres any facts to prove it but from watching videos it seems like the Apexi is louder. Any input or first hand experience with either of the exhausts would help me out.
I love my APEX'i N1. I have it on my 06 and its paired up with a COBB catless downpipe... It sounds really deep past 3k rpm. Only thing I hate about it, it catches a lot of cops attention because the muffler is so huge.
I'm leaning towards the HKS Hi-Power. Should that be pretty loud? I don't want something real quiet, or crazy loud, i want something in between but a little more towards the louder side.
I guess crazy loud would be like an Invidia racing or whatever happens to be louder than that. I want something thats pretty tame for just cruising and everyday driving and at WOT I want it loud if that makes sense.
Can someone post a picture of the HKS hi power straight on from the back of the car. I don't want it to hang down super low. I couldn't find any good pictures.
ebay your tbe. it will be around 300 shipped. works just as well as any other exhaust. I have the one thats 3 inches all the way back (not sure what brand or model). Gotten plenty props for the sound and the cabin noise isnt terrible.
Look at the boostbuddy deal, I have heard it in person and sounds good. Look also at the ERZ*SRS CATBACK... I have one on myself and gained the lost 1 psi off the stock catback w/the COBB catted DP.
Not to thread jack, but how's the quality / fitment on the Megan Racing exhaust? The price seems pretty good and the sound is nice & mellow too. Just wasn't sure if I'd end regretting it later.
There are a few customers on this forum that use the Megan BlackBack Exhaust and love it...the clip that was posted was a customer of ours that posted to show off the exhaust...
How about some pictures of various exhausts from the rear? IMO some look great and some just look like garbage. Some pictures of all kinds might help some people decide what style they like, just an idea.
I've got the ERZ bellmouth downpipe ($140 from ERZ Performance), after that it's basically straight pipe to an Apex'I N1 tip. I love the deep tone and it really isn't too bad on volume. I've been told that it makes sitting in the back seat sound like you're sitting in a video game. Then again, my WRX is completely catless.
Youtube is your friend. Check out all the exhausts and how they sound all you want. I personally have the Hayward/Scott Scoobysport Exhaust. One of the best sounding ones out there and its not that loud. Good Luck.
Does anyone have the new version of the Perrin Twin Tip? I want to get that and a catless DP but i'm not sure it will be loud enough. I know their old Twin Tip was real loud but i haven't heard much about the new.
Do you men the twin tip design or the twin TUBE design? I dont think there is any if much difference between the twin tip design, but I havent seen a video or decibel reading of the twin tube design.
I'm talking about the twin tip OR the single tip exhaust NOT the twin TUBE. Sorry for being unclear. I talked to Vew about the exhaust because he had the older version which is the one i wanted. Apparently the older versions of the Perrin exhaust were a lot louder than the new ones. I've been trying to get some feedback or videos from people that have the new versions but everyone only has the old one. I just dont want to spend $700 and not have it be loud enough for me. If anyone has heard the NEW Perrin exhausts in person or know anything about them please let me know. I just want a comparison in volume compared to the old one.
