Apex is crazy loud one of the loudest available. I know one owner switched to the veilside from apexi and now says its quieter. Plus apex isnt all ss it has mild steal piping.

I had an apexi n1 on my old gsr and absolutely loved it. It was loud on the outside, but only when you wanted it to. The loudness was easily controllable with the use of the throttle. At some throttle positions, the car would sound stock. But when you really wanna get on it, prepare for war. The piping isn't SS but i never had a problem with it rusting or something. Not that rust is really a problem in SoCal anyway...

I would get the apexi n1 over the j's racing exhaust because i like the way it looks and its substantially cheaper. The gains one exhaust would get over the other are insignificant.

I have a J's and I love it, little loud if with the soft top up, but other than that no problems.

Apexi N1 gets my vote ... It's rare to begin, well constructed and lightweight. It's no BS strictly raw performance with a very affordable price tag. Comes with a silencer if you want to plug the noise. Any better, you'd have to get an Amuse R1000.

I'v just sold my Apexi N1 single, actuly just pending.
it's pretty loud without silencer, but sounds great after 5000rpm.

I'v weigh out that the Apexi N1 weight about 14 pounds w/o gasket and bolts, the stock exhaust has about 50 pounds, save about 35 pounds, for me that's not bad.
