Since I dont see a lot of guys running this exhaust I figured I would post up my quick thoughts and some pictures of the exhaust on the car.
My hunt for an exhaust had been a little bit exhausting. A lot of what I have seen on the market especially once mounted on the car looks almost oem with bigger tips. I was more looking for something a little more of a showoff piece.
The Apexi Exhaust itself in my opinion is a gorgeous piece, and very different from the others I have seen on the market.
It is a 3" exhaust and leads off to two separate canisters. The exhaust once mounted on the car has a very pleasant tone to it very daily driveable and wife approved. I can listen to the radio at the same volume levels but has a nice purr as I accelerate. As of right now I have been running it with the stock downpipe, and I will be switching to a cat delete downpipe in the future, and so I am assuming the sound levels are going to be a good increase.
I did a before and after dyno with the exhaust. This is a dynapack dyno which records brake horsepower numbers. As of now this is the only mod on the vehicle. There is an impressive power gain throughout the revs with almost 13 peak horsepower increase.
I will be posting up dyno numbers once again when I swap the downpipe and then maybe a new sheet once I run a ktuner or hondata (the lack of throttle response in the pedal is incredibly annoying).
Overall I am happy with the setup.
Onto the pictures, sorry for the dirty car and exhaust. I know it kind of defeats the purpose but at least you get to see the poke of the exhaust. I'll post up more pictures in the future.
