Apexi N1, how loud is it?
 

I know Apexi N1's have been tossed around the forum a lot, and I really hate to post about this again. however, through all my searching I havent really found a straight answer. How loud is the Apexi N1 muffler with 2.25 piping on the protege? I heard on other cars it can be extremely loud, but the pro has a much quieter and lower engine tone than other cars. Basically what I want to know is will i get pulled over for an Apexi N1? How well does the silencer work? I wouldn't mind it if the N1 was loud w/o the silencer if i could put the silencer in and have just a nice subtle tone for everyday driving. Also, those who have N1's, do you have a CAI? And how loud is it with the CAI?

Like I said, I'm sorry to bring this up, but it has been really hard to find a striaght answer. I have only read sweet things about N1's on all sorts of cars, but my major concern is if it will be loud enough for cops to have a reason to pull my ass over. Thanks!

I got the N1, and as long as you keep the two cats, its not loud at all. Just a low rumble during acceleration. No chain saw sounds.

N1=loud.
due to the small N1 canister.

loud
get the silencer in case

glacius, your car looks good, what engine does it have??

if you are not getting mandrel bent pipe go 2.5" and my system is not loud at all. those civics are still louder LOL

n1 is not loud on a p5
 

I have no second cat and a straight pipe to a N1 and it's not that loud. Nothing compared to a honda. It just sounds real deep.

Piranah,

where did you get the guage pod on your dash (below your cd player)? I might need one of those.

that is a piece of 1/4" mdf wood cut to fit the radio and the 3 gauges, then lined with a piece of 1/8" black plexi-glass. Any car stereo shop should be able to do one for you. For about $30.
