which catback exhaust to go with? - WRXAtlanta.com -- The Southern Subaru Enthusiast Community

ShaneSTI · 02-22-2005, 10:59 PM

Right now I'm looking at the Apexi N1 or the Borla catback. I like the Apexi because it sits at an angle and its in my price range as is the Borla also. Since I'm still learning about my STI, which catback is nicer? I also want it to sound deep, but not a screamer. I'll leave that up to my SRT-4 because it has a 3" turbo back system that SCREAMS. Also, is vividracing a decent company to deal with? They have like a gazillion exhaust systems for our cars. Thanks in advance!

the n-1 is going to be a screamer. like any n-1 styled exhausts that are a true straight thru design, their inherent sound characteristics are to have a higher tone to the sound.

and from what i've "heard", vivid has the reputation of horrible custy service. go thru porter at topspeed would be my suggestion

I have a Stromung downpipe and axel back, nice deep rumble... the way a boxer is suppossed to sound....
