Both vids are actually the same 3inch exhaust piping. Only thing that changed was the muffler. What's a cat haha?

I think I'm sold on the HKS. Its quieter in car. Gives the car a nicer tone. Only thing that stinks is the muffler sits about 1/4 inch lower than the N1. I'm noticing it when pulling in the driveway I hear the scrape.

If the Apex'i had a cat or an extra resonator then i would be sold on it. I have the Apex'i GT spec on my car (cat back) and it's quiet during normal driving but gives a nice growl when i lay on it. Not terribly loud, but it could be a tad softer.

I'm sure a resonator might have quieted things a little or maybe a straight through premuffler. Ill see how long this lasts for. I might get bored and go a different route. Maybe 2 Super Dragers or 2 N1s. I think a guy on here has them and it looks nice. (RedPhoenix) I think...

I have Dual Blitz Nur Specs on a 1uz... A little different... lol


The HKS gets my vote, not only because of the sound but it looks better and more large and in charge.

I don't at this moment but I will take a few tomorrow and post them. When I had the N1 it had a slight angle with the Drager it has a similar angle but still looks good.
