Default Difference in Apexi WS 1 and 2?

I was looking for a new exhaust that will fill out my lsport bumper when I get it. Borla SS is too small for the bumper, and even the new tips seem to be lacking horizontal height. I was looking at Apexi because it was full cat-back, and cheap. Is there a difference in the Apexi WS I and WS II?


I like the rolled edge look of an exhaust, not the can type shown on rom's car (not that I dislike your car )

So is there a difference in the exhaust tip look?


Apexi WS I





Apexi WS II

well imho performance of the two (if any) would be very close to each other. the WS II does have a bit of rolled tips so maybe that's exactly what you want? personally i like can tips so that's why i like my WS I a lot other than that, i don't think there are other difference?

That's the only difference I was interested in, the tip looks. So the Apex 2's do have a diff tip....I like the shape of the tip, and the size, and its great since its rolled.

Rom: Where can I get the Apex 2 for a good price? Steve the man again?

Not yet Henry...It was touching when they first put it on, but John put some washers in there and it seems to be okay. Haven't heard anything rubbing....should probably take a look though.....

Looking forward to seeing everyone in two weeks..
