i say get an N1 catback. i just got mine put on last week and it looks and sounds great, but as far as performance wise you are only going to get minimal gains, but that is with any exhaust.

mongo, do you have pics of your exhaust? many members are claiming that they have it and I have yet to see one. It's not listed on the A'pexi website. I have the universal with custom piping

The N1 catback has 115 mm canister, right? I heard that b4 it came out. Does it come out at an angle like the Hiper? Pics will answer all questions. Why didnt you spend the extra $100 and get the GT?

I personally say get the Tanave its the best performance catback out there for our carts, been dynoed to provide the best gains in Hp anbd torque plus it sounds loud and deep. Looks tight and its worth the money. I got it for 550 shipped to my door, it sells for 800.00 here so PM ill hook you up if you want it. So far i dont think anyone here has the actual Tanabe except for me so if you want pics again PM me

The Tanabe Rspec exhaust is the ****. It fits great its loud but deep, mine sits at somewhat of an angle and its all stainless steel so it wont rust or anything. Built to last and buit for performance!!! You wont regret it!!!!

the "racing" was only made for previous models, they never made a "racing" for 7thgen civic's.....
the tanabe exhuasts were just recently released...and the hyper and medallion series are both "super"
so if you were to purchase an exhuast for your car, and if was specifically for your 7thgen, then it had to be a "super"

at www.first-1.com they have 2 Tanabe super racing exhausts. One is for the EX Civic and the other is for the Civic Coupe. What would I get if I have an EX Coupe? Both? LOL.........they have different model numbers.
