I have N1 duals on my S14 and they are in great shape. I have never had any problems with my exhaust for bout over 2 years now and its still looking nice. Dont know why you guys think that the N1 duals are bad quality.

oh damn the fallen off tip is quite the evidence. then again alot of people own the apexi n1's and just gotta figure that within that large lot of people that there'll be more eff ups with them just because of the proportion of them sold...then again it could just be bad quality control.

the nur looks good but didn't blitz just increase their prices for this year along with hks? Personally I like my 5zigen proracer and loved my gp sports spec d before it got stolen.

oh yeah here's a tip, get the mid and end pipes welded at least a little so some crooked thieves won't slide under your car and take the end off and run off with it.

Damn. Thanks for the pic. Are all Apex'i exhausts to be avoided? Or just this particular model?

I ran the Blitz Nur for a year or so on my 1989 Supra Turbo. AWESOME SOUND and great performance! With this exhaust, a hi-flow cat, RT downpipe and a K&N (no other mods), the car boosted beyond the factory gauge's 8lb+ mark -- it could barely hit 6.5lb+ w/ stock setup. Also, the spool time was greatly reduced. With your list of mods, I'm interested in a SOTP review!

On the negative side: The screw holding the silencer rusted out eventually and the exhaust became insanely loud -- easy fix though. Otherwise, the build quality is top-notch on this unit.

i dont mean to hijack, so this is my last post about this. but i only think the n1 duals on OUR cars, s13 & s14, are to be avoided. most people i talked to have some complaint about rust or a cracked weld. easy to fix, but it just makes it a hassle. for some the exhaust has been great, like BadMojo. hes had that exhaust longer than i have, with no problems at all. i guess it just depends. who knows.

thanks for the review man...sorry if i sound ignorant but what is a SOTP review.....
i love the sound, pulled the silencer out yesterday, and love it....but ill probably have the silencer in for the most part, except for an autox or when i go cruise the local strip..

How does this modification make the car feel different?

Not as reliable as instrumentation (dynos, gauges, etc) but good enough for Internet message boards!

A SOTP review may be subjective, but it's definitely better than just basing your decisions on what the manufacturer is telling you!
