Default Apexi GT Spec Exhaust for S2k?

After about an hour of searching, I couldn't find this exhaust available for the S2000. I found one for sale and was wondering if anyone knows what this is? Here is the link, I am no longer going to purchase it but was still curious since it seems like a good deal? This exhaust seems popular on 350z's, evo's, and the like.

Note: I do not know the seller nor am I trying to help sell the exhaust, I was just wondering how this compares to other single exit exhausts, noise, drone, hp wise, etc.

Here it is (generic pic and description though): http://www.hopupracing.com/apgtspexhos2.html

The pic in the link you provided does look like a S2000 specific GT-spec exhaust, although the tip is not Ti. It looks like it was intentionally blued. It's only a 60mm exhaust so you aren't going to see huge gains. However, because of that the volume and drone level are very reasonable for a single.

i have this exhaust and am very happy with it, the quality is good and it's not too loud at all.

that is the exhaust but as mentioned the blue is not due to it being titianium.

price doesn't seem too bad, it's about what i'd expect and will be what i'll sell mine for when i change it.

How's the interior drone between 3k-4k rpm's? Is it loud like the Invidia?

IMO it's not bad at all with the stock cat. I have never heard an Invidia in person, but I'm guessing this is much quieter. I have changed out exhausts in the past because they were too loud/droned, but this doesn't bother me at all.

how does the Apexi compare to say the HKS in noise level? Trying to decide between the two... I actually want a single but think the noise level/sound of the HKS is perfect. How do these two compare?

the apexi is louder than the hks, but not by too much in my opinion. on a 1-10 scale i think the hks is like a 6, apexi is like 7-7.5

if you think its to quiet silver j get a teat pipe. i have it with a TP, sometimes if im beating ppl by a car or so they will let off just cuz its so loud lol. but at low rpm its not bad at all. high rpm though sounds just like a bike.
