loud, maby a little bit ricey to some but to me it sounds amazing, if your a compleat ricer hater then this is not for you

big and low to the ground

if you like a loud sound for your car, im 16 so i love the loud cars, this is for you, it may get u the rep of a ricer if your car is super ricey but if you have good body work and a good paint job it ealy compliments the car. i replaced it on my stock and it was exactly wat i was lookin for

Amazing exhaust! Great flow through design! It's loud but I love it! What else do you expect from a straight through flow design?! I installed the Apex'i Active Silencer just to appease the cops. For my Sentra, it has a low growl. But when I gun it, it roars!

get noticed better throttle responce and better fuel economy.

resenator hangs low the muffler is big and will scrape if car is lowered.

Apexi N1 cat back exhaust is great. I work at a car dealer so I had access to a lift so it was very easy to install. Very quite at idle and not loud at all inside the car. i dont have the scilencer in and its still quite when driveing on the highway.

quick throttle response. highly responsive. a breeze from 80 -90. sounds racer-like. price used $200 straight through design angled muffler. performance gains.

loss in low end torque. eats up gas. (26mpg) hwy. civic si supposed to be 30mpg hwy 26 street. hang very low on the ground. when the mechanic took it off there was a hole on the resonator. not recommended if you are dropping your car 2 + inches. (maybe even less than that). after 7 years metal on inside starts coming off. when mechanic took exhaust off black water was dripping out. can be LOUD. fix it tickets twice.

Had this product for 7 years and finally had to replace it. According to the mechanic the metal on the inside was coming off as he showed me when he took off the exhaust. But anyway, at 2.38inch piping, this exhaust has to be loud - and it was. without the silencer got about 2 fix it tickets because it is very loud. it is very deep and racey. personally, it sounds best with the silencer on- it sounds more like a race car. it has very good throttle response. a slight tap on the gas pedal and your on your way. when i put on my new exhaust (dc sports twin canister) i realized how much the n1 was better performance-wise. the n1 is extremely responsive. but there is a downfall - 26mpg consistently driven back and forth fwy driving. (civic si's average 26 street 30 hwy mpg). the thing i love about this is that you barely notice that your going uphill on a freeway and it still keeps on pulling. from 80 - 90 is a breeze - a very free flowing and genius design. unlike any other. so like i said, i just bought a new dc exhaust and i have started to evaluate. one thing is clear - apexi n1 wins in performance gains. so far dc wins on the exhaust sound.

Free-flowing = more power. Perfect fit and good craftmanship overall

LOUD! LOUD! LOUD! sure it had a silencer but to me it sounded like sh*t with the silencer.

Purchased this because I needed a free flowing exhaust to get the most out of my JRSC'ed prelude which was a success compared to the Thermal I replaced. Other than that, this exhaust SCREAMS rice withe its overly huge tip and nasty noise. I sacrificed a nice looking good sounding Thermal exhaust for power, which I got but at the price of of loud noise and a huge very not subtle exhaust look, which is not what I typically care for. Otherwise it's a quality product, the fit is perfect, craftmanship is topnotch. But this style exhaust is not for me. I hated it INspite of the added performance, which to me wasn't enough to offset the annoyances.

Deep tone Slanted tip looks good Power gain Not too loud inside of car

None as of yet

This is an excellent exhaust system. Almost immediately i felt the power gain from the middle to the topend of the power band. The sound is great, and it screams when you hit VTEC. Its definitely worth the money, and it looks good too, or at least I think it does on my lude. Its not too loud inside the car, which is great, and outside of the car it has a deep, throaty tone.

power gains, sound, appearence, ability to set off car alarms

none.

AWESOME EXHUAST. SOUNDS great and the power gain is good. improved throttle response too. to me there is no such thing as too loud. Also looks great

sounds better than most 4cylinder exhaust systems, doesnt sound like a normal sh!tty ricer.

too hard to get the d@mn silencer out

i just put this exhaust on my car, it took longer than expected due to the crappy directions but with any intelligence you can figure it out. at idle you cant hear a freakin thing but once you get past 2-3000 rpms it gets louder but not obnoxiously loud. unless you have intake header and other mods exhaust wont give you very noticeable gains although it makes the car shift a lot smoother.
