Apexi N1 Exhaust - How loud is it??
Hi People,
Im living in UAE and Cops here are worse than swine flu to live with!!
I was going to buy the "Silent" version of the HKS Hi Power exhaust series, but the sound is soooo dead that I dont feel the exhaust apgrade!!
I saw 2 videos on youtube for this exhaust, and I thought they were really AMAZING!!! Neither loud not dead-silent!!..
I will be attaching it to a MAP O2 eliminator, and probably stock Exhaust manifold!!
The problem is that I dont want to buy the exhaust and find another sound coming out!! As I mentioned, I only heard 2 clips and I did not hear one in person!
I will be ordering it from here, the states.. and I want to have a smart buy!!
Please let me know your impressions about this exhaust!!
I hope that moderators dont close this thread coz I have literally SEARCHED and didnt find what Im looking for!
*****
WHICH EXHAUST IS LOUDER, THE APEXI N1 OR THE BLITZ NUR-SPEC R???
Thank for your help

If you talking about the MAP O2 dump ( the downpipe with the O2 dump built in) you better re-think that.
An O2 that dumps can be very very loud, sometime louder then exhaust systems.

Here's my **** sounding Honda exhaust.
Turbotrix t3 equal length manifold
Helix 3" dp
Magnaflow 4"x20" resonator instead of cat
Apexi N1 at rear
I can't stand it. Basically, 2 resonators = not-so-great sound. 4.5" outlet = a$$ sound. An outlet diameter on a muffler that's 1.5" larger than the inlet will produce a ***** sound (in my book). I ordered a silencer for quick fix, but will be doing a baffled muffler when I get time.
On a N/A car the exhaust gases pulsate through the exhaust system. On a turbocharged car, the turbo changes the pulse to a steady "flow." Resonators/glass-packs do very little to deaden sound. Their main job is to take the rasp out of the exhaust note. You need a baffled muffler to significantly cut noise and other frequencies. A center/off-set muffler will deaden sound more than a center/center inlet/outlet. Some baffled mufflers also have packing material to further deaden sound. Some even choke down 1/2" or so inside to deaden sound.
Oh, and you will get that highway drone with larger framed single scroll turbos, unless you go with a baffled muffler.

When you say MAP O2 eliminator, do you mean the MAP O2 dump, or a CEL eliminator for a O2 sensor?
If you talking about the MAP O2 dump ( the downpipe with the O2 dump built in) you better re-think that.
An O2 that dumps can be very very loud, sometime louder then exhaust systems.

Yes. I remember someone drove an SRT4 for a little group get-together amongst friends and he had an O2 dump. Although I liked the sound of that spooling turbo, it was loud constantly. He parked far away in the parking lot about 20 cars away from us and I could still hear how loud it was.

Also its not even necessary.

Well, it'll sound more quiet then an O2 dump but personally, to me, it's still loud. I have a Megan CBE with a resonator and I wake the neighbor's up every time I go to work... I work at 2am too. Best thing to do is to put a silencer on. Might look like crap but at least it won't be too loud.

If so, will I be able to go hard on the car once its installed?? A friend of mine told me that I cant open the throttle wide because there will be power restrictions!!

If you're worried about sound too much, you can try getting a cat to see if it'll be more quiet. Even with a cat, you still get air flow restriction. Or you can do what one of the guys around here did. He installed 2 Magnaflows on his exhaust. Otherwise, a resonator would be your best bet if you still want the performance to stay somewhat the same with idle sound to be more quiet then a catless.
