Has anyone try Apexi exhaust?? any comments??

 

I have asked this question at least twice...

One person responded and he said that the APEXi World Sport for the S2000 is heavier or = to stock exhaust weight.

No one has posted HP gains or even pictures.

I really like APEXi and I would sure like to see a World Sport on an S.

 

Yes,

On my Prelude. I had/have the Apexi Dunk exhaust. It consists of 3" piping from the cat back, all the way to the cannister. Super lightweight cannister (IMHO), with a 4" or 5" tip. I thought it was really cool when I got it back in 1995. Now I just think that it is straight obnoxious. About three years into it, something started happening with the exhaust. . .it started getting louder, I mean really loud!! I started noticing black specs would shoot out of the muffler after the car ran for extended period of time; and NO it was not any carbon build-up.

I wrote the distributor for Apexi who then forwarded my problem onto Apexi. I got a reply saying that the breakdown of the "glasspack" was normal for a performance exhaust, especially if I was running turbo. In fact, they were surprised that it lasted so well after two years.

I wasn't that mad though, with the reply letter they sent me, attached was a replacement cat-back exhaust including the the Dunk cannister. They even included some extra cellophane tape in the box so that I could ship them the old one back, postage paid. This was the first time I ever thought to myself on how great customer service was from a company.

Well three years down the road again, and the replacement they sent me is exhibiting the same symptoms as before. Other than that, Apexi exhausts are awesome.

On the S2K, I just installed the Hyper exhaust two days ago (thanks Mingster), and so far, it's awesome!!!

I'll post a better report on the HKS piece if needed.

 

Don't know if this helps any but when I talked to the East Coast Distributor for Apexi (SPI) he told me that the exhaust weights 56lbs including packing materials and box. He had no idea what it weighed by itself. As for performance numbers he said none was available to him.

 

sounds like i should save the $$ on something else.

 

se-r,

Right now HKS is my favorite. I am looking into buying the J'S Racing N1...but I am having a hard time tracking down the silencer for the exhaust. I just found out it's got a noise level of 90 decibles (noise level of a lawn mower).

90 decibles is too loud for me.
