Apex N1 Dual

Price Paid:  $600.00 from Custom Tuning

Year / Model Reviewed:
1993 Nissan 240sx SE fastback

Strengths:
-nice angled dual stainless tips. -aggresive sound. -show quality looks

Weaknesses:
-a tad loud at times but after some getting used to sounds nice. -kind of expensive but well worth it. -seems(although i dont know for sure)heavier than the stock exhaust system.

Summary:
Iv only had my exhaust for about 5 hours, but im liking it more and more as i drive my car around. THe sound has a really deep bassy sound to it. The sound combined with the look of the dual angled tips gets a lot of looks from other drivers. Havent driven by many cops but if you ease off the gas the sound lightens up quite a bit and you can pass by law enforcment without any problems. The one thing i noticed is that the pipes are huge! they are bigger than i had thought which may be either a good thing or a bad thing depending on what you like. In most of the pictures iv seen online the pipes dont look as big. but i like them just the same. The greatest thing about the n1 dual in my opinion is its an alternative to the popular one big coffee can mufflers you see on most import cars. the other is that the n1 dual is only made for the 240sx and rx-7 so you wont see to many like it.

Strengths:
Awesome looks, great sound, rarity, ease of install, mid to high range power increase, having people notice it, sounding better then any Civic on the road.

Weaknesses:
Loss in low end power due to huge pipes. This can be expected with any performance aftermarket exhaust, and can be more than made up for by simply installing a $40 K&N filter charger the you can get anywhere and install in 2 minutes. Works even better with a Cold Air Intake however. Nothing else is a weakness!

Summary:
Oh my God this is awesome!!! This is by far the best exhaust system I have ever experienced. The install is incredibly easy, even for a beginning mechanic or someone with no mechanical experience. The sound is a wonderful deep, throaty rumble when idling with the a/c on, and a powerful roar when the engine is pushed past 2500 RPM. The looks of the dual canisters at the back is great, I have people ask me all the time what it is, and they all love it when I fire it up. Makes this car's four banger sound like a V6 with flowmasters. For best results, use with either Cold Air Intake, or at least a K&N Filter Charger to make up for low end torque loss due to the loss of back pressure because of the HUGE pipes.

Strengths:
Looks great, sounds excellent, great power gains, overall high quality, easy to install

Weaknesses:
none. It is almost perfect

Summary:
This exhaust is no joke. It has a nice deep tone and is very throaty. It gives the car power that you can feel @2500 rpm and above. The sound is very intimidating. Compared to other exhausts it is very loud though but it is tolerable. It also has a unique look to it that puts fear in the hearts of civics everywhere. I recommend this exhaust to anyone. Oh yeah, buy it from rollhard.com. they have fast friendly service and good advice. This is the lowest price I found anywhere. And installation was a snap. I installed it in less than an hour.

Strengths:
good power gains in the mid and high rmp range and good sound.

Weaknesses:
none yet except that running it with an cold air intake will improve your cars performance.

Summary:
This exhaust is great. I was kind of skeptic at first but i was influenced to buy it. To tell you the truth i wouldnt go with any other exhaust. The sound is great especially when your at full throttle and the power gains were very noticable especially in the mid and high range. If your looking for an exhaust that is worth your money, you should consder getting the dual N1 system
