Apexi 3" N1 universal muffler VS generic
 
Anyone know anything different between Apexi 3" N1 universal muffler VS any generic you can find on ebay. Assuming they are all muffler and 3".

Beside Apexi being at least 150 while ebay on is like 40-50 shipped anything else. apexi got log that is it, what about sound quality? The quality of muffler will be better on apexi i guess since its live to its name. Anyone know anything else?

it's all about the brand name to tell you the truth. like paying $700. for a apexxi cat back vs $190. for a catback at a muffler shop. those N1s' are straight through mufflers, just like the ones for $40 on ebay. brand name crap=rice.

The magnalfow is pretty sweet sounding... $75 for the mild steel and $90 for the stainless steel.

i assume you are talking about round fart cans.
ya, those ebay ones are supposidly a copy of the apexi r1. sound like crap.
i would go for the apexi world sport exhaust. those are bad ass and sound nice.
actually i would go for the summit racing ones. d16z6forlife and ghettod sport those and they sound nice and look stealth. hit them up.

So have anyone heard from a apexi 3" fart can and an ebay fart can, anything differnt in sound quality on a turbo car?

Or not anyone runnning an ebay fart can with a 3" pipe no resenator can tell me how loud it is. Is it unbearable or what?

I would go with the cheapies. Or even a Summit muffler. Have a custom exhaust piping done and call it a day. On one of my hatches I had the exhaust done straight from the header to the muffler, mandrel, no crush bends. Worked great and was cheaper than these 700 exhausts. I'd go for a muffler and do custom piping or buy the knock off cat backs on eBay. ---- buying the real thing.

If you wanna hear the eBay knock offs, dl teggy's videos.

i have an apexi n1 knock off muffler and no catalytic with 2 1/2" mandrel bent exhaust. very tolerable on a turbo car.

---- a fart can, I'm going to go with open dp on my turbo setup. my RS type muffler worked pretty good, a lot more quiet then no muffler.

When you're rocking a gasless 110 welder, you don't have much choice in the matter. Blue couplers look much better than bird ---- joints. ;)

I've got 2 lincoln 110 mig welder. The one's my friends but its been sitting at my house unused for over a year. He owes me $300 which he hasn't paid me in a long time. I'll sell you it for that price plus shipping if you want it. Than at least you can lay some decent welds. ;)

Here it is if your interested:

I finally got my magnaflow installed, and it sounds sweet. Not farty or raspy at all, just nice and deep. Plus, it is relativly quiet on the highway. All together I give it a thumbs up.

All that being siad, the cheapest upgrade you can do is run no muffler. $0, and no restriction at all. I ran with an 18inch resonator for about a month, and it isnt that bad. You ge tused to it.

Re:Apexi 3" N1 universal muffler VS generic
 
I recently swapped out my 5zigen fireball setup because i found out after my oil return line got pinched and smoked the turbo seals, it also plugged up the exhaust. So I made a 3" downpipe out of a mandrel, and a 3" mandrel bent Kteller exhuast kit with the Apexi N1 turbo muffler. No resonators or cat and it sounds mean as ---- but also loud as ---- too. For the ammount that i actually drive the car (not much at all unfortunately) i can live with the noise. But I love the difference the 3" setup made.
