Default Apexi N1 exhaust installed

Got my Apexi exhaust installed today and i gotta say that it's louder than i thought it would be. Haven't driven it much yet because it's actually raining here in S. cali but from what i can tell, throttle response seems better. As far as sound, i'm not sure if i like it yet, but it will probably grow on me. Ill give better input tomorrow if the ground is dry. Ill try to add pics too, but it's nothing you haven't seen before. As far as sound clips, i'm not sure if i can pull that one off since i have nothing to do it with. Maybe a friend will let me use their digicam to record a short clip.

I heard they come with silencers, 5-7 db sound reduction.

Hey shinz,

Whereabouts in SoCal are you? I've been wanting to get the Injen Exhaust, but it looks like that won't be available until like 2006 now so the Apexi exhaust was my next choice but nobody I know has it for me to see and hear. If your local to me, maybe we can hook up somewhere and I can take a look and listen?

Guess you don't know much about Apex... as their WS line is stock quiet.

shinz,

Are you planning to go to the SoCal 350Z club's event on the 29th? If so, I'll check it out there. Do you have any sound clips you could post?

Sorry i still dont have soundclips since i dont have anything to record it. PhoenixINX posted some clips if you havent already seen them. After driving the car some more, It really feels like the top end pulls harder. I'm not sure if i liked the sound at first, but now it seems to have toned down a bit, or it's just that i'm use to it because i dont even notice it anymore. There are times, however, when i hear this odd rattle. It's sounds kind of like a really quick tapping/banging noise. It doesn't happen all the time, just sometimes at random occurances. It happens a lot when the RPM's hit the range of the cats, around 3k rpm, but again, not all the time. Let me get some pics posted too.
