Ok i'm sick of the exhaust questions so let's start a thread like the clubrsx one. http://forums.clubrsx.com/showthread.php?t=68567 PLEASE - ONLY RATE THE EXHAUST IF YOU HAVE FIRST HAND EXPERIENCE WITH IT. Please help keep this thread the "go to" place for the important exhaust information and post questions elsewhere. REFER to the sound clips thread for obviously sound clips. If you want to search for a particular exhaust use the "search the thread" button on the top of this thread. Fit 1 to 5: How well does it fit the car without cutting, making new hangers, etc. 1=fit like hell, all the way to, 5=fit tighter than stock without rattle. Power 1 to 5: 1=less power than stock, 2=about the same as stock, 3=some gains, 4=very noticeable, 5=Feels like its been boosted Loudness 1 to 5: Volume 1= Quieter than stock to 5= Loud, wakes the neighbors when you get on it. After the name is the material: SS= Stainless Steel, PS= Stainless can only, AS= Aluminized Steel and then the pipe/tip diameter. Also if you decide to update your review at any time just insert *UPDATE (and the date)* __________________________________________________ ______________ *UPDATE 05/17/05* DC5 Integra Type R muffler (same as new 05 RSX type s mufflers) Fit - n/a this is a muffler only which i had welded to my custom catback piping Power - 3 nice midrange Loudness - 2 Stock with a deeper tone, just like the RSR exmag. Great muffler that gives performance with out rice or fart cannon looks. It does have a larger tip but it still looks very clean. Also has a valve in the muffler that opens at higher rpms to increase exhaust flow.

Custom Exhaust Piping (turbo-back)
V-Force Muffler
Fit - - - - - - 5 Welded to the turbo, fits perfect
Power - - - - 5
Loudness - - 1

Here is a pic


Sounds like a higher end car. Sounds extremely clean, low, and somewhat quiet. Very low though. 0% rice sound to it.

Sounded like sh** before the turbo though, but fit good of course, gave like a 2 on power, and loudness is 4-5. Not anymore.

I thought the Apex N1 is supposed to be loud. Loud like in the 4-5 range, atleast noticeable louder then the World sport? Are you making this rating with the silencer on?

apexi WS

Fit: 3 didn't install it.. however i hit a curb with it and it started rattling a lot, but i fixed the rubber hanger thing and its better. My friend got it for her 00si, and it didn't fit.. just to note, and apexi didn't refund her. tip is also not centered, however, most exahusts are this way

power: 2 can't really tell.. not much difference i guess, maybe loss of low end
loudness: 3.. just like stock for first two months, then gets louder. quieter then intake, can't hear it that well from the inside, but definately from the outside
