Default New Exhaust

My BuddyClub Spec IV is dead and I need to get another exhaust.

Personally, I don't think this car has any right having a dual exhaust so it must be a single.

The items I have shortlisted based on price/quality/VFM are:

Apexi N1
Apexi GT
GReddy Ti-C 70mm Single

The BC Spe IV is ruled out because it needs cutting in order to give decent ground clearence which is a shame because it's a fantastic exhaust.

From them all, I am led to believe that the Apexi GT is a good flowing exhaust that is reasonably quiet. Apparently, a smidgen louder than the HKS Hi-Power.

The Apexi N1 and GReddy are loud, but not Invidia loud...apparently.

I must say that I am tempted by the GT but my search reveals little info on it really.

Anyone over here had any experience with any of the afore mentioned exhausts?

Just having a quick looky around and they all good choice for the money your willing to part.

Apexi GT appears to free a few more ponies than the N1 but they both look very similar!

Any if your wondering why I am up so early/late is because I caught my kitten trying to climb out the bedroom window! I caught it by its tail before it could kiss its 9 lives goodbye!

I've heard the apexi's are alright for sound and small power gains.

I'd get the apexi N1.

IIWM i'd get a second hand J's 63

Since the power gains are minimal anyways i would look to get the lightest of them lot. (and since your are tracking your car you would benefit more from the weight loss anyways)

Preferably titanium. The J's 60RS as mentioned above, is my personal choice. 2nd hand (but i understand you are in kind of a rush to change it) should be a good value for money.

Toda makes some good exhausts as well.
