Ok i want to get an exhaust and when i do it will be my last mod til turbo.Here are my two choices,
1.Apex-i n1 duel
2.Apex-i gt spec
I can get the Gt Spec for 676.99 shipped to my door or pic up my n1 duel for 500.00 plus taxes i want something that rumbels when i idle and gives mre power before i get turbo and if i get the gt spec i will have to use the silencer some due to living conditions.But i dont care.Which should i get?

IIRC, the GT Spec is all stainless piping, while the n1 is aluminized.  If you get the GT Spec, you will never have to buy piping again - as compared to non stainless piping which seems to rust in a couple years in these parts.

no judgment - just my $0.02.

id go with the gt spec, if i had a choice. otherwise, id say to do what your budget allows you too (talking about spending almost $700 on exhaust, you probably dont have a budget <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>)

I am on a budget but some of this money my mom is giveing me and like hipposleek said the stainless stel pipe will not rust so i would rather get the Gt spec cus it would be like 300+ dollars to get a new pipe made custom.But thanks for the input.

if you're going to get a turbo, you'll want a bigger exhaust, like 3'', so there's really no point in getting the GT if you're only going to have it for a year or so

WHAT>?  I thought the the GT Spec exhaust was HUGE..  like 3 1/2 inches or something??   That would be perfect for turbo.

The GT Spec is the better exhaust system you can get for a car thats going turbo in the US it has 3.95 inch piping and if you are going SR you can go to Taka Kaira and get the front pipe to go with it so you will have the same piping from the turbo back.
