Apex GT Spec EXHAUST

Planning to by Apexi Gt spec exhaust. Is there anybody else out there that have one on? How's the tone? Sleeper or loud as F ? Look? Most important of all how much HP am I expecting with my stocky.

It's one of the quietest ones out there...but all this is subjective of course. I, for one, hate loud exhausts...

I heard this GT Spec as a full turbo back and it's almost as quiet as Buscher w/ Magnaflow + highflow cat. Idle sounds very low and mellow, extremely low key, WOT is louder than HKS Hi-Power + cat...it screams.

Also no problems with rubbing or clearance...expect power gain to be as same as almost any other aftermarket performance exhaust in the same price range.

It's on top of my list for exhaust to buy.

EvoDreams has it...pm him for more details.

Its uber loud...but nice...great build quality on the cat-back, the dp wasnt so great. 3" amd stainless, angle out, looks great. I req. the dc sports dp. Super nice. I also have the active tail silencer, works great, google it to see what I am talking about. But daily driving its quite, floor it and its loud outside, but not bad in the cabin. Kinda best of both worlds.

Powerwise, you get a little more. But with a tune a lot more.

Indeed, it is subjective, but this exhaust is FAR from the quietest on the market.

I have this exhaust, and love it. I have previously run the greddy ti, rmr, rmr, and hks hi-power. Hands down winner.

The newest issue of Drag Sport did a dyno on this exhaust and it gained 13+ hp from it. Not bad at all.

Forgot to mention they tested the A'pexi GT Spec Exhaust on a Lancer EVO MR...they also tested the K&N Typhoon intake which gained 8.7 hp at peak.
