Honda Civic EX
Strength:
Perfect size 4" tip. Not loud but nice deep tone when you want it. Power gain and smoother acceleration. Low price.
Weakness:
Not as much power gain as expected. Minor glitch on the tip. There is also a small hole on the tip for installing the silencer which does not make sense. The exhaust itself is very quiet already and the hole kills the look a little bit. The tip is also not a one piece design. The connection on the buttom of the tip is not perfectly aligned (Not well put together). But for the price that I paid for, I can live with it. Had been trying to decide between Greddy Evo and Apexi WS. Evo's tip is too big for civic and I heard it is kind of loud. I spend 1 hour each way driving to work. So I don't want a loud exhaust. I am also not the guy who like the attention. The price for WS is also cheaper. Just got it installed today. Very quiet in idle. Almost equal to stock. But when you step on the gas, there is a nice deep tone. Should be the perfect sounding exhaust after I install AEM Cold Air V2 and DC header in the future. Minor power gain makes the acceleration smoother. Similar Products Used: RS-R. Also a quiet exhaust, very good looking tip, and better power gain. But too expensive, cost $550+. |

Acura Integra SE
Strength:
Noticable low to mid end power and torque improvements. Looks very nice.
Weakness:
I had some problems bolting it to the cat. The bolts on the cat were rusted and I just cut them off and drilled out the 3 studs. I then replaced the studs with stainless steel bolts. This took about 4 hours or so but I feel much more comfortable doing it that way. Great exhaust overall. Design is well built and hangs well. I have had no problem with scraping at stock hight. Sounds really quiet for the first 2 months or so but after about 4 months it has a very nice tone from idle to redline. |

Honda Civic EX
Strength:
light - quiet - good price - good stainless quality
Weakness:
possibly not as much power gained as another apex model or model from another manufacturer light weight - unsuspecting look, could be mistaken for large oem replacement as opposed to bolt on upgrade, adds to 'sleeper' look. only moderate power gain however. NICE sound, not a FART PIPE Similar Products Used: hyper medalion |

ACURA INTEGRA GSR
Strength:
EXTREMELY WELL BUILT.MUCH BETTER THAN THERMAL,WHO DOESNT SEEM TO BE ABLE TO MAKE COMPLETE WELDS.PRETTY SAD CONSIDERING THAT THERMAL EXHAUSTS COST MORE THAN APEX,AND SOUND LIKE Scheisse
Weakness:
I THINK THAT I COULE HAVE GOTTEN MORE POWER IF I HAD GONE WITH THE APEX N1.IT IS STRAIGHT THROUGH AND I THINK THE PIPE DIAMETER IS LARGER THAN THE WORLD SPORT,BUT IT IS MUCH LOUDER,WITH THE "RICER" SOUND AEM COLD AIR INTAKE,DC SPORTS 4-1 RACING HEADER,RACING "CAT",AND APEX WS CAT BACK. DEFINATLEY THE BEST SOUNDING EXHAUST FOR FOUR CYLINDER CARS. VERY QUIET AT IDLE,WITH A VERY NICE PURR WHEN ACCELERATING.DEFINATE POWER GAIN IN LOW TO MID RANGE. Similar Products Used: STOCK,THERMAL |

Strength:
-sounds good with vtec -nice purrrrrrrrrrrr -more power -looks good
Weakness:
-not loud -not for u if your lookin for the "street racing sound" this is a good exhaust if your lookin for a low to mid range power exhaust. Its quite except when vtec kicks in. Nice purr to it and an all around good exhaust if your not lookin for a loud sound. |

Strength:
Quiet, well built, performance for a daily driver and decent looks. not much more $$ than a factory catback
Weakness:
can't think of any i just had it installed this morning and it's totally quiet and has a nice solid build. in the morning i am going to have my AEM short ram installed and then maybe post another review if there is a difference. it seems to perform better than stock but its hard to say exactly because while the catback was in the mail my stock muffler fell off(oops). i am also going to add the DC Sports ceramic headers when i get my money from the tax man. if you have an opinion on DC Sports ceramic headers VS. stainless steel headers let me know.

- Power Increase
Weakness:
none so far The WS is an excellent exhaust system. i have it with neuspeed n2 headers and an AEM short ram and am suprised at the difference I feel. Even with a auto I am happy with the results. I recommend it to anyone who wants an exhaust system that doesn't sound any louder than stock. |
